How Could Eye Forget? The Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

When I wrote my post Eye-Shadow 101 and listed the steps for making an everyday eye look, I forgot to include one of the most important things for your eyes (almost as important as mascara). It is the eyelash curler! My eyelashes are thin and long, but you can't even see how long they are without an eyelash curler and mascara.  Eyelash curlers may look scary, but they are easy to use and they give your eyelashes a curl that opens up your eyes and makes your eyes more noticeable. Make sure you use it before you put on your mascara, or you can pull your eyelashes out! (I know because it happened to me!) This is a good reason to buy a high quality eyelash curler. Cheaper eyelash curlers tend to pinch, which makes you more likely to yank your hand away, and pull your eyelashes out.

Out of all the eyelash curlers out there, the Shu Uemura eyelash curler is the best there is. It is a favorite with make up artists and beauty editiors. It is kind of expensive for an eyelash curler at $20, but it is definitely worth it. Especially when you think of the fact that you will use it every day, and it works better than any other brand you can buy. Make the splurge!

If you can't afford the Shu Eumura version, the Revlon eyelash curler is a less expensive option. With eyelash curlers, you really do get what you pay for, so make the small investment!

Shu Eumura Eyelash Curler- **NEWSFLASH** This eyelash curler is no longer available in the U.S. through Sephora!!! It must be ordered through the Shu Uemura website. Shu Uemura website, $19 plus shipping. (You can also find them on Ebay for a little bit cheaper. For now!)
