No matter you would like to apply your makeup or not, it is always a good idea to curl your eyelashes. Curling your eyelashes makes your eyes look bigger and brighter. Many of you may be a little bit frightened to use such metal or plastic tool to your delicate eyelashes. You may hear from others that they feel really painful when using the eyelash curlers.

For the normal manual metal or plastic curler, you should follow the following steps:

1. You should clean your eyes as it works best for eyelash curlers. You may apply your eye shadow and eyeliner first but make sure you allow it sometime to dry. Never apply mascara before curling your eyelashes.

2. For metal curler, you can turn on your blow dryer blow the hot air to the curler for 5 -10 second. Feel the metal to see if it is too hot, if not you can use it right now. This action is to make the ordinary metal curler function as the heated eyelash curler. For plastic one, this is not suitable and you can skip this procedure.

3. Prepare yourself with the best eye position for eye lashes to be curled. Look downwards at around 45 degree. If you are not used to such position which hinder you to see your own action. You can put a mirror in front of you and tilt the mirror a little upward to help.

4. You can now open the curler, clamp your eyelashes near the roots. Hold for 10-30 seconds. When I mean hold, you should hold it. Some people clamp for 5-6 times over the 10 seconds, which may not result in better result than just holding it! When you hold the eyelash curler, try to even out your force so that force can be spread from the pad evenly to the eyelashes.

5. After clamping the eyelashes near the roots, move the eyelash curler a bit towards the end of eyelashes and clamp the eyelashes again at the middle part (the middle between the end and the roots). This procedure is taught by the makeup professional!

6. (You do not need to curl the lower lashes!).

7. Open your curler and then remove it!

8. Repeat on the other eye.

A final reminder is to be very careful as both your eyes and eyelashes are very delicate and fragile! Try the eight steps above immediately to make your eyelashes curler!

General Tips for Trimming and Applying False Eyelashes

Your false eyelashes look great when you have just bought them, but they are just too great that they look unnatural and you should never try to apply them without trimming.

The first thing to remember when you trim the false eyelashes is to make sure the fake eyelashes for you left and right eyes should be the same in thickness. You can even use only half-piece of the false eyelashes buy cutting them into two. You can put the trimmed fake eyelashes on every part like the outer corner or the center of your lashline of your eyes to enhance your eye look. Two simple tips:

If you want to have your eyes looked closer to each other, apply only part of the piece of the false eyelashes.
If you want to have your eyes looked apart, apply only part of the piece of the false eyelashes at the outer corner.

To apply your false eyelashes naturally, take a look at the following tips:

As the ends of the false eyelashes are easy to fall, so use a little bit more glue on the base of the false eyelashes ends.
Let no glue get onto the false eyelashes (except the base).
The glue on the false eyelashes works the best when it is nearly dry, so roughly wait for around 20 (depends on your type of eyelash glue) seconds.
Just nearly the glue is on the false eyelashes base is going to dry, pull a little the false eyelashes to make it softer.
Look into the mirror, adjust the angle of the false eyelashes before you actually applied them.
Apply the false eyelashes to the upper lashline as close as possible.
Use your hands to hold the false eyelashes for around 30 seconds (depends on your type of eyelash glud) after you have just applied.
If you find the ends falling, that means the glue is not enough, you can use the toothpick to dip some glue and apply them onto the ends, then apply the false eyelashes again.
We normally do not have eyelasehes grown at the inner corner, when applying the false eyelashes, leave 1mm space for the inner corner.

REMEMBER! The glue works best when it is nearly dry and if you apply the false eyelasehes at this right time, the glue is colorless and that gives you the best effect. If you apply the eyelashes too early before the glue is nearly dry, it is very difficult to get the false eyelashes sticked to the upper lashline. When you repeat the procedures again several times as the eyelashes fall, the glue can become white, and then you must put on your eyeliner to cover.
