How do electric eye tips make eyelashes curl?

If your lashes aren’t completely dry or the curler is dirty with mascara, you might not get that perfect curl—and in some cases, lashes can even break. So, how do you curl your eyelashes properly? Let’s explore the secrets of electric eyelash curlers from Xiaobian.

1. Proper Technique for Using an Eyelash Curler

Many people hold the curler with their thumb and index finger, but this isn’t effective. The correct way is to use your thumb and middle finger to grip the curler. This ensures proper pressure and helps you achieve a better curl without damaging your lashes.

2. Heating the Eyelash Curler

Instead of using a lighter, Xiaobian suggests using a hair dryer. Heat the curler for about 10 seconds, but be careful not to make it too hot. If the effect isn’t strong enough, you can heat it again for 5–10 more seconds. A warm curler gives a longer-lasting curl.

3. Staged Lash Clamping

When clamping your lashes, divide the process into three stages: first at the root (at a 30° angle), then the middle (45°), and finally the tip (90°). After each stage, release the curler fully before clamping again for 5 seconds. Repeat this process for best results.

4. Correct Mascara Application

Apply mascara starting from the base of your lashes. For long mascara, brush in a radiating motion, while for thick mascara, use a zigzag pattern. Avoid applying more than 5 times—2–3 strokes are usually enough to avoid clumping. Also, consider layering: start with white mascara to protect and lengthen your lashes, then add long mascara, and finish with thick mascara for volume. Never apply thick mascara first, as it can cause damage.

5. Re-Curl After Applying Mascara

If your lashes are short or flat, you can re-curl them after applying mascara. But remember to clamp them first with the curler, then apply a thin layer of mascara. This method works well for all eye shapes and gives a more natural, lifted look. Just be sure not to overheat the curler. >>> Xiaobian's Ultimate Guide to Perfect Lashes
