Using mascara without curling your lashes first is, well, a cardinal sin. I don't make the rules!
Just like a good primer helps your foundation to last longer and stay gorgeous all day, a great lash curler preps your lashes for your mascara, meaning it can go to work and do a stellar job.
However, not all eyelash curlers are created equal.
If you do currently use an eyelash curler and are in the market for a new one, we've got you covered. If you've never used a lash curler before and are investing for the first time - your life is about to change.
Top tip: Blast the top of your manual curlers with a hairdryer for a few seconds (be careful, though!) for a super-defined curl.
