PINCH ME!

Yes there are a bunch of different methods for curling your lashes. In makeup school I learned to pinch once at the base, walk it out halfway and pinch again, then again a quarter way out. Believe me I’ve tried them all… have even tried spoons and heated curlers. And I’m sure you have your own techniques too (do share!). But today I am simply sharing this one because it is a game changer. Hear my voice in your head, sister: if you only pinch with the curler upright, you’re only doing it halfway! You have to then also pinch with the curler inverted. Trust me on this. It’s one of the biggest secrets I can share. (more…)

QUICK TIP

If you want to turn your eyelash curler into a mini curling iron, all you
have to do is blast it for 20 seconds with your hair dryer.  Wait at least
a minute to let it cool down and be sure to test it with your finger to
make sure it’s not too hot that you burn your eye lids. Then squeeze once
at your lash line, once again half-way out and one more pinch 3/4′s out.
(If you only pinch at your lash line, it will look like you’ve been
chasing parked cars!)
