As you join me on this journey of make up you will soon come to realise that I have a weakness for anything to do with "LASHES". I cant help myself... even when creating a look on my clients one of my BIGGEST tips is.. do not forget your lashes....
Lashes are one of the greatest features that you can really play up even if you are not wearing any make-up at all. The one tool I never ever leave out of my daily routine is my trusty M.A.C eye lash curler.
I know there are many of you out there... and you know who you are, that either do not use one due to fear or even worse use a curler that is poor quality and doing nothing for that curl you crave. You may think that purchasing a "cheap" curler will do just as good a job as a more "expensive" one...but i have to tell you they just don't.. Now I am not saying that you must spend a weeks pay cheque, however don't skimp on this tool either. I have tried and tested so many of all different price points that are on the market..... so believe me when I say the M.A.C lash curler is the one that I ALWAYS go back to.
I am her to give you a simple "step by step" guide that will lead you to that perfect curl every lady longs for.
You will need... 1 x Eye lash curler & 1x mirror
Step 1:
I like to use a compact mirror that i hold in my left hand. I then take my lash curler and place my thumb and middle finger in the "loops" for a firm grip (feel free to use what ever hands or fingers you wish... this is just what works for me)
Step:
I place the compact infrount of my eye tilting my head upward a little so I have a clear view of my eye's and lashes.
Step 3:
Bring the lash curler toward your "right" eye making sure the curve is facing you. As you approach the lash area open the lash curler fully.
Step 4:
Place the top part of the curler just on your eyelid... you should be able to feel the metal. You should also see your lashes come through the opening (you want to get as close to the lash line as possible, but you do not want to pinch yourself).
Step 5:
Once you are feeling comfortable begin to press your thumb and middle finger together.. this will "clamp" your lashes, hold it quite firmly... hold this position for 5 seconds. Once you have held it for that time DO NOT LET GO... you can realese the pressure and open a little but DO NOT MOVE IT.
Step 6:
Then I want you to bring the curler back to the "CLAMP" position.... only this time I want you "clamp" and open, "clamp" and open 3 times. (again each time clamping down firmly)
Step 7:
Once the above step is complete, remove the curler away from your eye so you can view your curled lashes (if you feel like you would like them to be a little more curled just repeat the above steps)... once you have your desired curl (on both eye's) feel free to pump as much mascara on them as you like....
It takes a couple of practise rounds but I promise if you take your time you will never go back to wearing straight lashes....
Give it a go.... let me know what you think.
Smooches
