7 Timeless Tips For Curling Your Lashes (3 of 4)

Make sure your eyes stay open

It may be your natural tendency to close your eyes when you are curling your lashes, but this can actually make it more difficult. The best results happen when you keep your eyes open, so that you can allow the curler to get as close to your skin on your eyelid as possible. With your eyes open, you can also make it easier to not clip your eyelid with the curler, which can end up being super painful.

Use a spoon in a pinch

If you can’t get your hands on your eyelash curler, don’t fret. An unsuspecting household item can be used as a replacement in a bind: a spoon! Thoroughly clean the spoon first to make sure it will not contaminate your eye. Then, use the spoon and your fingertips to curl your lashes over the edge of the spoon. You will be amazed at how effective this trick can be when needed.
