Beauty How to Make Curling Your Eyelashes A Breeze Sometimes we’re so busy with our skincare routine that we forget to lay the right foundations for our makeup! 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. This will begin the curl at the root, elongating your final lash look. If you have used your lash curler post– mascara application before, make sure to replace the rubber stopper. 20 C O S M O B I Z M A G A Z I N E
