Sephora's Professional Mini Heated Eyelash Curler

[jeanna]

Has anyone ever tried this?

Or any other type of heated eyelash curler for that matter?

It sounds like it would be a miracle tool... especially for us asian girls with the evil eyelashes the grown straight down and refuse to curl

i have the stubbornest asian lashes that never stay curled, but i just got : Shu Uemura's eyelash curler (you can get it at sephora too) and i use covergirl's professional waterproof mascera and my lashes stayed curled the whole day.

i have to use waterproof for they'll just uncurl in about 3 hours.

I've noticed that a lot of people LOVE the Shu Uemura eyelash curler. What makes it different than the regular eyelash curler?

i think it's curved a little better so you get alllll your lashes curled you know? what eyelash curler are you using now?

just a plain, drug store one. i think it's Revlon. i also have a ghetto plastic one from Quo, but I only use that on other people when i'm doing their makeup, cuz the angle/placement of the 'finger holes' (wth?? what are they called?!) aren't so awkward when you're curling someone's else's lashes. sorry, i can't figure out a way to better explain that but i think you know what i mean right??

but yes, for myself, i have a Revlon one. i thought they were all the same

I haven't tried it, but I've heard that heating your regular eyelash curler for a minute or so with your hairdryer accomplishes the same thing as a heated lash curler. Certainly worth a try before you go out and buy . . .

DON'T do the blowdryer thing!!!

if you accidentally get the curler too hot and touch your skin, you could do major damage to your eye lids!

IT CAN HAPPEN!!!

i ADORE my heated eyelash curler. i put my mascara on FIRST and it really works!

I haven't tried the heated curler but I really want one. I should've bought it when I was at Sephora earlier this week. Now I'm kicking myself.

oh, i know! i came really close to burning myself when i tried this a looooong time ago. needless to say, i haven't tried it since.

i'll try the Sephora one... couldn't hurt. besides, it's not that expensive. i'll let you all know how it is

i've never had much success w/heated eyelash curlers.

I have that one. It's okay. One thing that I did find is the application of the mascara does wonders as does the product itself. A MA at the Versace counter showed me this great technique that had people asking me if I had on false eyelashes. And as luck would have it, I stopped wearing mascara for a while and forgot!

 

[rouquinne]

what? proper application technique for mascara?

it's the topic of my very first column for Naturally Curly - link in my sig file.

wipe off most of the mascara on the wand for the first coat. use a fibre free cloth. apply first coat. refill brush, apply second coat while first is still wet. apply more if desired. go to next eye.

the thin first coat acts like a primer - DON'T buy mascara primer - and your lashes separate better than using a full brush to apply the first coat.

i always do this and i have pretty darn good lashes!

I'm going to try that! I think I make my mistake putting on a heavy first coat.

I know she bent the curler in a curve. If I can rember correctly she applied it in three parts, the inner corner, the middle and the outer corner she pulled away from the eye. I hope I described that right.
