Which Is the Best Heated Eyelash Curler?

Most women probably don't realize they need a heated eyelash curler---until they try one for the first time, that is! Heated eyelash curlers enable users to curl their eyelashes and get an extra "pop" to their eyes similar to the effect of using false eyelashes. There are several excellent heated eyelashes curlers available on the market these days.

Identification

• The Sephora Professional Mini Eyelash Curler is considered the best on the market, with its comb tip wand and ease of use. This affordable heated lash curler is the subject of rave reviews by many cosmetics blogs and their readers, such as Specktra.net and Beauty Tip Today.

Considerations

• The Sephora mini curler sells for $16. Although many people consider it the best, it's a good idea to compare and contrast the prices and features of similar products. Versions to consider include products by Ardell Lash ($3.99), Godefroy ($15), Hot Lashes ($29.95) and Talika ($37).

Benefits

• Sephora's mini curler is ideal for curling super straight, "boring" eyelashes to make them voluminous and vibrant. It's very easy to use. After turning the curler on, wait fifteen seconds. Put the comb on your lashline just above your eyelashes, lift, comb your lashes into the shape you want, hold for two seconds and then release. One of the things that really sets the Sephora curler apart from the rest is that it never gets warm---not hot. That way, you don't have the risk of burning or damaging your eyelashes!

Warning

• Although the directions for many eyelash curlers state that you can use them after you have already applied your mascara, it is better to apply mascara after curling your lashes. The curler's heat could cause smear the mascara.

Expert Insight

• Make sure your eyelashes are clean and dry before curling them.
