Warm Your Lash Curler

Another great tip via Michelle Phan!

Have you ever done this before?

Using a lash curler helps to open up your eyes and create more visible lashes. I can’t forget this step in my makeup routine because my lashes are super thin and straight! Since curling your lashes is such an important part of the makeup process, I thought I’d pass along a quick beauty trick that will help make it even more effective.

Before you curl, heat up your lash curler with your blow dryer or stick it under warm water for a few seconds. Test the temperature on your wrist so you don’t burn yourself! Similar to heating your curling iron to curl your hair; a heated tool will create a curl much more effectively that an unheated tool. So, a warm curler will give the effect of longer-lasting, noticeably curlier lashes. This trick works on false lashes, too!

When I got my makeup done for my brothers wedding the MUA used a heated eyelash curler.  This is a cool little trick that I will be using.

I don't use the curler but since I joined this group I got really interested in the idea. My question is, when do you use the curler, before or after the mascara?

I guess the logic here would be in ways heat works from your curling iron to curl hair,it would be the same for eyelash hair.

I do this, I just run mine under hot water for a few seconds before I curl. I used waterproof mascara alllll the time, so the water trick works for me.
