Even
though eyelash curlers always strike me as torture device, there’s no denying
the effect of a good curl. Eyelashes look longer and more noticeable, which in
turn makes eyes look bigger and more awake. So… find a way to deal with it, think
happy thoughts of gorgeous lashes and do it.
If that pep talk didn’t work, as it hasn’t for me, consider
this messy but effective little trick. Get something to use as a block – a spoon, a credit
card or a folded tissue – and place it on the upper lid. Keep it there through
the whole process. Apply your favorite mascara, wait a couple of seconds, then
place a finger at the root of your lashes. Try to bend your lashes upward,
against the folded tissue and keep it there for a little bit until it starts to
dry.
Enjoy your curled lashes without worrying about pinched lids
(just writing that makes me think “ouch!”).
