    I just want to say as a lash tech who specializes in lash lifts THANK YOU for talking about how to use the lash curler properly. I have countless clients who use lash curlers and I can always tell because they have chopped off lashes at random spots and the damage is insane to the point where we just tell everyone to never use them because they're never used properly. Seriously, thank you.

      By any chance, do you know any less rounded lash curlers, or maybe it's a mistake in my technique? I used both Tarte and Revlon. When I try to go closer to the roots, they would pinch my actual eyelid skin in the corners, with a middle still being about 1/8 inch up from the roots, and I end up with a curl starting at about a third of a lash away from the base.

    My personal ideal lashes are long and dark and thin and clean looking, so I always prefer the lengthening and stay away from volumizing formulas. I so appreciate you making the distinction between which products are better for different preferences rather than assuming everyone wants the same outcome. My eyes are a little close together so I curl my lashes at an angle outward toward my temples, and aim for a sweep rather than a tight curl, so they're long and swoopy.

    Shiseido eyelash curler is one of the best eyelash curler out there. It fit the eyes perfect and their partial eyelash curler is even better it gets in the corner where you cannot. It's interesting how in every country how we do our makeup. In Korea, there is something we called 'fire straightener' which you take a stick or skewer and heat that up, and you curl your lashes like that, I don't exactly know how to explain cause English is not my first language if anyone is interested you can do your own research, but this helps the lash to last longer, it like styling your hair with heat, cause eyelash is also hair

    Hiya Erin! Tried all these techniques, my lashes are hopeless at this age, 63. Lost my thick, straight lashes during MEANopause😕, haven’t had any luck since w/ mascara. There was a Korean one I loved back about 20 yrs called “Fairy Drops” that actually started to keep them curled even after removal; then it disappeared from Sephora (still on Amazon but don’t recall which one!) When in my 20s-30s I wore false lashes all the time, now can’t be bothered. However, found Kiss Falscara system to work really well for me. I’ve always put lashes on under lashes not on my lid (much more comfy, doesn’t feel heavy) & these are designed to work that way, last 10-14 days & best of all I’m not allergic to the glue! Since my eyes are more hooded now, I can use the shorter lashes & it really opens my eyes; I even use the ones for the bottom lashes. No mascara needed! Thanks for the Milani liner suggestion, I’m going to try it as *everything* winds up under my eyes even if it’s waterproof, likely eye anatomy (big, round eyes, deep set), so frustrating!

I don’t curl my lashes because every time I do, I hurt myself. So, admitting defeat, I’ve decided unruly looks just fine for me and they’re curly enough without help. I may be lying to myself to help myself feel better and I’m ok with that.

      Hey! Former makeup artist here, and found your comment and thought I could add some helpful info re dry oils. They were kinda a precursor to the current cleansing balm formula that is really popular now. Back when I used to work for MAC, they had a great one and also did travel sizes in the MAC Minis that was so fab. Shu Uemera definitely pioneered this dry oil formula for the western market and then cleansing balms essentially took over. But the concept is the same, in that it's an oily formula that you rub in, then water breaks it down into a milky texture that rinses off easily. Either a balm or dry oil with a Makeup Eraser cloth is gamechanging for makeup removal and I literally never use makeup wipes any more because these two things exist. Hope you enjoy whatever new thing you might try! I personally use the Elemis Cleansing Balm now which is a bit of a splurge item, but lasts forever, turns oily easily without clumps and smells divine. Hope this helps!

It's a more theatric style, similar to really blinding cheek highlighters, intense colorful blushes that can even be colors natural blushes aren't (yellow blush for instance) and unnatural eyeshadow colors like blue and so on.
      That said, I'd personally go crazy if I had to wear false lashes. I can barely wear rings on my fingers, it took me a lot of active training to get used to wearing lipstick as an older teen, and I have a hard time dealing with the feeling of thicker foundation on skin. I am pretty impressed with how people can wear any natural or unnatural false lashes, even though I know it feels very different to them than me.

    The Etude House Dr Mascara Fixer is great at holding curl and it’s not super hard to get off! It’s a primer so you can use any mascara on top. It does dry pretty quickly so can be a little hard to build volume on top of but in terms of curl holding it’s unmatched!

    I have stick straight thin lashes like yours, and over the years I’ve learned how to get a proper curl out of mine just from trial and error. While watching your video, I realized all of your tips are exactly what I’ve learned!! It’s soooo so true! I don’t use false extensions but they look so stunning despite how subtle they are. It’s completely true that any non-waterproof or non-wax formula totally destroys any curl in my lashes, so I only use waterproof formulas also. The L’Oréal voluminous waterproof formula is great but I’d say the L’Oréal Voluminous Lash Paradise waterproof is my top favorite; I’ve gone back to it again and again. It does get clumpy but I’m one of those people that likes a little bit of clump. Something else I do is I take the applicator of my mascara and just lightly brush it against the very tips of my lashes to make them look a bit longer, that way I’m not just coating the base and mid length of my lashes. Perfect tutorial - thank you Erin!!!

    A couple years ago I found a UA-camr (I can’t remember her name!) and her tip was to take a lighter through the curler and warm it up and then curl your lash.. she compared it to a curling wand for your hair. I’ve been doing it ever since and I love it! I never hear anybody else talk about this tip and I was wondering why? I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
