Alright, we’ll say it: eyelash curlers are one of the most underrated beauty products of all time. If mascara is pepper, eyelash curlers are salt. Using one without the other will not yield the best results. We get it, they’re intimidating and their clinical appearance definitely gives them a bad name, but trust us when we say the results are well and truly unmatched. Any avid lash curler will tell you straight – once you start you will not go back. Our top tip: with a steady hand, holding them as close to the lash line as possible, press down and hold for five seconds. Be sure to use them before applying your mascara or you risk accidentally plucking out lashes.
Kevyn Aucoin Eyelash Curler
If the 95+ five-star reviews don’t excite you, the long list of celebrity MUA’s who swear by it will. Made in Japan, the extra beefy red silicone base prevents any pulling or tugging on lashes but still delivers optimum curling capabilities. Use short squeezes to boost each lash from the base and enhance your eyes exponentially.
JEFFREE STAR COSMETICS ROSE GOLD EYELASH CURLER
When long-time beauty connoisseur Jeffree Star Cosmetics announced that they would be releasing a curler, we knew it would be a good haul. Thankfully, this slick tool does not disappoint. The double-wired eyelash curler evenly grips each eyelash to create that perfect curl and can even be used before or after applying product.

Rest assured, it still does all the things you’d like it to and comes equipped with a squidgy cushioned pad.

Fitted with cushioned silicone pads to shield your lashes from harm, it’s a staple tool for all lash lengths.
Brushworks Glitter Eyelash Curlers
Short lashes can be especially hard to curl, but according to reviews on Brushworks’ Glitter Eyelash Curlers, this glitzy tool takes the top spot for sparse, shorter lashes. It catches, curls and lengthens, creating a fanned-out fake lash effect. The eye-catching rose gold and glitter design adds a cute touch, too.
