A number of women out there do not know the basics of using an eyelash curler and that’s okay because who’s a pro at everything? And when it is makeup related, women keep getting better thanks only after multiple trials and errors. So here’s taking you through basic steps to using the eyelash curler. While curling your lashes makes a big difference to your overall look, using it efficiently is what counts.
Step 1: Start when your lashes are absolutely clean, dry, and have no mascara on. Open the eyelash curler and, keeping your eyes open; place your upper lashes between the two sides.
Step 2: From the inner corner of your eye, position the curler as close as possible to your eyelid without pinching your skin. When your lashes are tucked inside, gently hold the curler together.
Step 3: Hold for a couple of seconds and then repeat if necessary, moving outward to curl the entire lash line.
Once you’ve mastered this, make sure you follow these dos and don’ts for your eyes to look stunning and absolutely alluring.
The right time to use mascara
Even if you are in a hurry never ever make the mistake of wearing the mascara first and then using the eyelash curler. Not only does this make your lash curler extra gunky, it can also damage your lashes. When mascara dries, it makes your lashes harder and less flexible. Curling them when they’re in stiff can lead to breakage of your lashes. Benefits of using mascara after using an eyelash curler mainly are to give your eyes that dramatic effect!
Replacing the pads
Once you’ve made full use of your eyelash curler, the little pads inside the lash curler tend to get dirty. Hence, make it a habit of purchasing replacement pads and swapping in a new one every few months.
Go easy on your lashes
Makeup is good and if you want to have long, healthy lashes, make sure you’re applying just the right amount of pressure while curling your eyelashes. Pressing down way too hard can not only give your lashes a weird 90-degree angle bend rather than a realistic curve but can also break your lashes. A high-quality curler won’t require you to press too hard.
How to clean your eyelash curler
Like every makeup product, your eyelash curler needs to be clean too. If you’re always curling your lashes before applying mascara, there’s a chance that eyeliner, eyeshadow, bacteria, and dead skin cells are getting all over it. To maintain that hygiene level, make it a habit of pouring a little rubbing alcohol onto a cotton pad and wiping it down at regular intervals, like once in a week.
Good quality eyelash curlers for the way
If you’re using an eyelash curler make sure it’s of good quality. Using something that’s not very efficient has its own set of cons. Using low-quality ones only harms your delicate lashes – no one wants to get their lashes ruined.

I wish I read something like this before I curled my lashes for the first time. I remember pinching myself..Ouch
I think everyone pinches their eyes the first time they curl their lashes 😀
Thank you so much for this post. I recently tried eyelash curler for the first time and I didn’t know we gotta change the pads and all *faceplam*
Replacing the pads now and then helps the curler be more effective and it also helps with the hygiene factor.
I haven’t used one in forever def learn few things

I love using curlers most times i apply makeup. Your tips are really helpful. Even if we are not applying mascara curlers automatically open up the eyes

Definitely. These are great even if you don’t add mascara. But they add the extra bit of oomph to the lashes when applied with mascara.
Eye lash curlers are so under rated I tell you! Most people just have it and dont know the curve it adds to your lashes! Its my must use product before applying mascara!
