Using the wrong type of eyelash curler
One of the most common mistakes when using an eyelash curler is not using the right one for your eye shape and size. It’s important to choose an eyelash curler that fits comfortably against your eye without pinching or pulling your lashes. Some curlers are designed especially for certain eye shapes, so choose carefully.
Curling your lashes too close to the roots
Another common mistake to avoid when using an eyelash curler is curling your lashes too close to the roots. This can damage your lashes and even pull them out. Instead, start curling your lashes halfway up and then move the curler out towards the tips of your lashes for a more natural look.
Not heating your eyelash curler
If you’re using a metal eyelash curler, it helps to heat it up with a hairdryer for a few seconds before using it. This helps to set the curl and makes it last longer. However, be careful not to overheat the curler, as this can burn your eyelids and damage your lashes.
Using an old or dirty eyelash curler
Another mistake to avoid is using an old or dirty eyelash curler. Over time, your eyelash curler can become rusty or coated with old mascara, which can cause infections and irritations. It’s important to replace your eyelash curler every six months and clean it regularly with warm water and soap.
Applying too much pressure
Finally, one of the most common mistakes is applying too much pressure when using an eyelash curler. This can result in bent lashes or even breakage. Instead, use a gentle but firm pressure and hold the curler for a few seconds to get the desired shape.
