Curl lashes with fingers

  • This simple method requires mascara and your fingers. It is indeed one of the most popular and natural eyelash curling tricks. First of all apply a coat of mascara, starting from the root heading towards the tips. Finding the best mascara is a trial and error process, so experiment with different formulas until you find one you love.

  • The best way to keep the lashes separated is to apply mascara with zig-zag movement or rolling the wand. Make sure that before you start curling lashes, the mascara is completely dry. Then apply a second coat to further enhance the effect. Let them dry again completely. This will be the secret of stylish curled eyelashes.

  • The next step is the actual curling, prepare your fingers properly for the final look. Rub your fingers to make them as warm as you can - the warmth of the finger tips will react as 'curling irons'.

  • Now place your fingers under your lashes, and push them up. Keep fingers in this position for 15-20 seconds to make sure they'll stay.

  • Repeat this trick until you get the curved lashes. It is important to keep the tips of your fingers warm, if your hands tend to be colder, you might put it under hot water for a few seconds.

Curl lashes with spoon
  • Spoons seem to have a similar effect to fingers. The ritual might seem a bit more complicated however after trying it repeatedly it will seem easier and more practical.

  • Now before applying the mascara, cover your lashes with a thin layer of loose face powder (close eyes so you won't get any powder into your eyes).Then apply mascara, as this will help reinforce and sustain the curl you will create for your lashes. Apply a second layer if it's necessary, it depends on your personal preferences. This will add the special texture to create a thicker effect.

  • The next step is to heat up the spoon, either rubbing it with your fingers or holding it over the heat for a couple of seconds. Moreover you can use also a blow dryer that can efficiently warm up the spoon.

  • Be careful make it warm and not hot. The way you hold it is extremely important, that's why first of all use your right hand if you curl your right eyelashes and the left one if you start with those. Grab the spoon from its handle, then keep it with the side your are eating from outwards.

  • Put your thumb down to the curve of the bottom of the spoon. Now start curling your lashes with a nice movement you'll manage to make them curly and visibly more fabulous. Press gently the lashes towards the curvy side of the spoon heading upwards. Continue until you have perfected the curl you desire.
