About Eyelash Curlers
If your lashes tend to sit flat against your eyelid, a curler is designed to shape them into a lifted curve. The curved design of a curler works with your natural lash line to create a lifted form. Curlers are designed with an extra-wide opening that accommodates different eyelid structures.
Even if you wear lashes from Victori'Ahh's Vanity, a curler can help you blend them with your natural lashes and achieve the angle you want.
How to Use an Eyelash Curler: Step-by-Step
Using an eyelash curler correctly is straightforward. Here's how to do it:
Step 1: Position the Curler
Open the curler and place your upper lashes into the padded chamber. Rest the upper pad against your lashes at the base, close to the lash line. The lower pad should sit underneath. Make sure you're positioning the curler on your lashes, not on your eyelid skin.

Close the curler with a steady squeeze. Use light to medium pressure. Hold for a few seconds, then release.
Step 3: Work Your Way Across
Move the curler slightly outward along your lash line and squeeze again. Repeat this motion across your entire upper lash line, including the smaller inner and outer lashes. This creates an even curve from inner corner to outer edge.
Step 4: Curl Your Lower Lashes (Optional)
You can also curl your lower lashes if desired. Use the same technique: position the curler, squeeze, and move across the lash line.
Tips for Using Your Eyelash Curler
Light to medium pressure is recommended when using your curler. Your lashes only need a gentle squeeze to curl.
Clean your curler regularly. Over time, oils, mascara residue, and dust can build up on the pads. A quick wipe with a dry cloth keeps it working smoothly.
Check the padded chambers regularly. If the pads look worn, flattened, or damaged, the curler may not grip evenly. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for guidance on pad replacement or maintenance.
Heated Eyelash Curlers
Heated eyelash curlers are an option available for shaping lashes. The warmth can help set the curl. Both regular and heated curlers work by positioning, squeezing, and moving across your lash line. Your choice depends on your preference for a manual approach or a heated option.
Using Your Curler with Lashes and Mascara
A curler can be used on your natural lashes before applying mascara, or after mascara dries. If you wear false lashes, you can curl your natural lashes first, then apply your false lashes over them.
Whether you want everyday natural lashes or bold, statement-making lashes, explore your options and find the style that matches your preference.
