My eyelashes have lived a life of neglect, they’ve been forgotten, cast aside and treated with a significant amount of unbothered-ness. I’ve never had long lashes, they’re very fine and almost baby hair like and I’m actually, not that concerned as that’s why we have false lashes.
I wear said lashes on a daily basis, hence my natural lash neglect. But, as I’ve been going a bit more low-key of late, wearing a full set of fluffy lashes for a video call at 9am is a bit much, even for me.
So, I’ve been diligently dusting off my mascaras and found a Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler aka one of the best in the game. I used it and was so impressed by how much lift and curl it gave my lashes. Clearly my lashes aren’t the problem, I just don’t treat them very well. If you’re looking to open up your eyes, add dimension and elevate your mascara, curlers are your best best. They’re also pretty underrated.
Shu Uemura have the go-to curlers of makeup artists and most eyelash owners, but it’s pretty impossible to find in the UK. But, hope is not lost, so here’s our top picks of the best eyelash curlers around.
