CURLING YOUR
EYELASHES
MADE EASY

Curling your lashes is one of the often-overlooked steps, which can make a huge difference to your eye
makeup. With the classic contraptions used to curl your lashes it might seem a bit intimidating at first, but
rest assured, beautypress has some ways to make sure that your lashes get the TLC they need…
#1 – Remove all residue
Makeup residue can build up on the lashes and
cause them to be heavy, so starting with makeup-
free lashes will allow the curl to really stick. To keep
everything clean, try some soothing cleansing
wipes before beginning. Using a cotton pad with
a product formulated for eyes can also help to get
rid of any residue gently if you’re worried about
makeup remover wipes.
#2 – The Lowdown on Eyelash Curlers
There are now many different types of eyelash
curlers that exist on the market, so make sure
to shop around for one that fits your eye shape.
Then give yourself enough time and space to get
used to them. You need to get the right angle and
squeeze the curler for a full 30 seconds without
being interfered for the best result.
#3 – Capture the Curl!
Capture your lashes at the base of the lash in the
curler and squeeze for 30 seconds while gently
tipping your wrist up. The 30 seconds allow the
lash time to react to the curl and lock it in. his will
begin the curl at the root, elongating your final
lash look. If you have used your lash curler post–

the rubber stopper.

lash. This will ensure you don’t interfere with the
volume. Finish by fluffing lashes with your finger.
