What is an eyelash comb?
An eyelash comb is a tool that is used to separate and define individual eyelashes. It looks similar to a mascara wand, but instead of bristles, it has fine-toothed metal or plastic combs. Eyelash combs can be used before or after applying mascara, and they help create a more dramatic or natural-looking lash effect.

- Start with clean, dry eyelashes.
- Hold the eyelash comb parallel to your lashes.
- Place the comb at the base of your lashes and gently wiggle it back and forth.
- Slowly move the comb up your lashes, wiggling it back and forth as you go.
