When it comes to making over your look, never underestimate the significance of the humble eyelash. Curl eyelashes with a curler, and they suddenly blossom; apply a touch of thickener, and they gently expand; add bit of conditioner, and they're lusher than you could have imagined. In short, eyelashes can go from fine to fabulous with ease if you know what products to use. Here are six tools that will give eyelashes luster.
This miniature pocket lash curler by Tweezerman may be the most ingenious invention of the year. Not only is it small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, but its round, flat shape allows for remarkably easy maneuvering. Just hold it between your thumb and forefinger and squeeze! It'll give our lashes a whole new look . And with its smart little leather case, it's just too darn cute to pass up.
Supremely Clean
How you clean your lashes is paramount — you don't want to treat them too roughly, but you do want to remove all traces of extraneous oil and debris. We couldn't resist Kiehl's Supremely Gentle Eye Makeup Remover, which features the most delicious concoction of cucumber gel and apricot kernel oil, is safe for contact lens wearers, has the creamiest texture and is totally nongreasy.
Double Your Measure
Paul & Joe's dual-ended lengthening and volumizing mascara can be used singularly or in collaboration with another product. One end has a comb that you can use to work through the volumizer (which worked wonders for defining and coating even our tiniest lashes). The opposite end has fine bristles for applying the lengthener. It's non-flaking, doesn't smudge and came off easily with makeup remover. Plus, you'll be delighted by the charming packaging.
Heavy Metal
Your mother has one, as did her mother — okay, and her mother did too! So our list of favorites wouldn't be complete without paying homage to the classic metal eyelash curler. Having sustained both time and innovation, it remains a de rigueur utensil featured on the finest makeup tables in the world. The rounded curler pad on this Tweezerman version gives an intense, symmetrical curl.
Brushing Up
A well-crafted lash comb not only de-clumps mascara, but cleans lashes of surplus goo! So if you're as fastidious as we are, whether you've coated your lashes with layers of mascara or you've valiantly gone bare, you'll want to separate them to refined excellence with an extra-fine lash comb. This one from Sephora is useful and even has a brow brush on the other end!
Steering Clear
The geniuses at Pout created this clear lash conditioner to give lashes an "I just stepped out the shower look" — and we're so loving it! Made with aloe vera, wheat and silk protein, Wet Lash can be worn as both as an overnight treatment (yes, it's that good for you) or simply as good ol' prettification!
