Curling Eyelashes with Heat! Long Lasting



If you don't have a problem keeping your eyelashes curled then I speak for myself and most other girls out there...we hate you ;)

Using a normal eyelash curler can, at least for me, keep a curl for about... oh, 10 minutes. And then its back to normal. If you're looking for a long lasting hold to keep your lashes looking fabulous, the trick is heat. In stores they actual sell heated eyelash curlers but here's a secret : HAIR DRYER.

BEFORE APPLYING MASCARA, on a low setting, hold your curler about 3 inches away from the dryer and let it get warm for about 15 seconds. Let the curler significantly cool down before applying to eyelashes. You want to curl, not singe :) It should be comfortably warm. Apply the curler at the base of lashes and hold for 3 seconds and continue to work the curler up to the tip of lashes, holding 3 seconds at each spot. Doing this prevents eyelashes from looking kinky. BAM! Not only should they be MORE curled than usual but it will stay much longer. Apply mascara immediately after curling.

I use Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara because my eyelashes are thin and this product gives them a more defined look and I also don't have to use very much which makes the curl last even longer because my lashes are not being weighed down :)

And there you have it!
