Lift Your Lashes With These Eyelash Curlers to Look Instantly More Awake

Makeup artists and fans alike sing the praises of this curler's edge-free pads. Its curve is also a little bit flatter than other eyelash curlers, which makes it simple to cover the full width of the eye and catch all your lashes. The flatter edge also guarantees that it will work on a wide variety of eye shapes.

If you’re new to eyelash curlers, it also opens a bit wider than average, making it easy to get the curler properly into position and make sure your eyelids don’t get pinched.

One of the top-rated drugstore curlers on the market, this one has a gentle price point that makes it the ideal option to perfect your technique with. We love it for three main reasons: One because the pre-mascara results are pretty significant, two because it's simple to use, and three because the price is easy on our wallets.

Never tried an easel-style eyelash curler? At this price point, we think it’s worth a try. Devotees swear by the full, gorgeous results they get with a single press. You simply flip the easel back to get leverage on your eyelashes. The open cage style doesn’t pinch, and the soft, siliconized rubber lash pad creates a nice, even curl.

Don’t let the photos fool you—the whole curler is about the size of a container of dental floss, making it the perfect compact option to toss in your travel bag.

The advantage of a heated curler is obvious—just like a curling iron, heat styling creates a curl that lasts longer and looks more defined than more mechanical methods. It can be a little intimidating to contemplate putting heat that close to your eye, so look for a model that offers you lots of control and a heating element that’s fully contained in a curling structure.

This curler's heated comb takes just five seconds to curl your entire eye, though the manufacturer does recommend working in sections to maximize your curl. A protective clamp helps spread and hold your lashes in position as the curler’s heat works its magic, and it never gets too hot.

If your eyelashes are short, it can be hard to get a noticeable lift from any device. Enter the new and improved Shu Uemura curler. The original was already renowned for its ability to grab each and every little lash and curl it to its maximum potential. In this recent update, unlike most curlers, the sidebars at the edge of the curler have been removed, letting you work your way across your full lash line section by section to catch each and every lash.

The curler itself has the perfect amount of force to curl without crimping, and uses the same high-quality construction the original is known for.

The curve of this curler is designed to catch each individual eyelash without pinching, while the wide opening of the curler is designed to accommodate all eye shapes. The cushion is firmer and more resistant than most, and while this might seem like a small difference, the contrasting red cushion makes it easy to see whether you’ve actually got each and every lash in position.

Fans love that it’s gentle enough to use on long lashes, but effective even on short, straight ones.
