Brushworks Eyelash Curler

Product Information

The finger holes are perhaps a little on the small side, but we were able to get close to the lash line without pinching, with the curler separating lashes beautifully to offer good definition before mascara.

As an added bonus, it comes with not one, but two extra silicone pads so your curler will last nine months before you need to consider any top ups. Just as the name promises, move them along the lash to the tip for a full lift and curve for under a tenner. The bouncy pads, coupled with its smooth squeezing mechanism make it hard to pull or tug the lashes, so you always get a comfortable curling experience and you won’t be able to over-squeeze leading to creases. Made in Japan, it has thick, matte handles for a better grip and cushion-soft pads that deliver a brilliant curl in conjunction with its wide, curve-shaped head. Lashes that curve with the shape of these eyes can be missed by some tools, but not with this innovative design.The curling plate appears quite wide at first, but this is because it effortlessly reaches every single eyelash. Eyelashes are the key to completing any beauty look, whether that's to accentuate a lifted fox eye or to create definition and depth. With a rose gold finish, and a traditional finger hole design, this tool fits in the hand well for a controlled grip that limits the chances of pinching the lid but still allows you to get close to the eye bed for maximum lift.

Despite their somewhat intimidating appearance, eyelash curlers are extremely easy to use, and it's recommended to use one before and after applying mascara. The silicone pad is so cushioned that we could barely feel it as the curling plates gripped our eyelashes in place. Adding mascara emphasised this volumized effect further, and our lashes kept their curl for several hours too. We kept the curler in place for 5-10 seconds and saw precise lash separation, as well as defined elongation.This product has a devoted following, including many makeup artists themselves – and we can see why. Ideally, this also comes with a spare pad for when the original has done all it can and needs to be changed which makes it even more long-lasting. Then, once locked in place with mascara, your lashes will hold their curl and lift for much longer and your eyes will appear much more 'wide awake' looking, which is the key thing really, isn't it? Meanwhile, Kevyn Aucoin’s the eyelash curler is excellent at gripping individual lashes for even definition. After holding the eyelash curler in place, we watched our lashes being separated and propelled upwards.

Reaching the lash line from inner to outer edges, we saw both a curl and height to our lashes which lasted all day. Used on the upper lashes, eyelash curlers are most often made of metal, with a silicone or rubber pad that supports lashes as they’re sandwiched between the two sections of the curling tool.

If you’re someone who has problems capturing those outer lashes, the wide opening on this pair of curlers will enable you to capture every hair – without pinching or bending. When purchasing an eyelash curler you should take your eye shape and lash length into consideration. Within the curler plates sit refillable pads offering a comfortable base, so the frame doesn’t stick to lashes.
