4 Ways To Curl Your Lashes Without A Curler

Unlock the secrets to achieving captivating curls without relying on conventional tools. Experience a lash-transforming journey with ingenious methods that promise beautifully curled lashes, all without the aid of an eyelash curler.

Here’s 4 ways you can curl your eyelashes without the need for an eyelash curler.

1. Applying Mascara

Start by putting mascara on the base of your eyelashes. Move the wand around to make sure the coverage is even, and then sweep the mascara up to add length. To get more volume, put on several coats of mascara and let each one dry before adding the next.

Use a zigzag motion while applying to improve definition. Use the tip of the wand or a smaller brush to coat the lower lashes very carefully. Use a lash primer before mascara to give your lashes more volume and help it stick. Use an eyelash curler before putting on mascara to curl your eyelashes first. Try out different types of mascara, like waterproof, lengthening, and volumizing ones, to get the look you want.

2. Using a Warm Spoon

Put a spoon that has been warmed in water over your eyelids, and then press your eyelashes against it. Please be careful when you do this, take the warm spoon and bring it so it’s close to your eye with its curved edge facing out from your eye. Use your pointer finger and your thumb to press eyelash bases into the edge of the spoon.

Hold it in place there for at least 10 seconds. To get the best results you need to do it section by section. Applying a few coats of your preferred mascara will help you secure the curls in place, and you will be ready to go.

3. Using Aloe Vera

Just rub a small amount of Aloe Vera into your fingertips (enough so they’re a nice silky coating) and then use them to press your lashes so they are curling upwards towards and towards your eyelids. Simply repeat this easy process a few times to get those cute and curly lashes.

4. Lash Lift

Another technique that may interest you involves using our lash lift products. Our lash lift process uses a range of products designed to help an eyelash lift and curl that’s semi-permanent and completely natural. The technique involves either the application of the Lash Lift Lotion No. 1, 2 or 3 and the special Lash Lift Glue. Obviously, you need to be careful when applying anything close to your eyes, but it is a sound option for anyone looking to escape the horrors of curlers.

How do you make your eyelashes stay curled naturally?

To naturally maintain curled eyelashes, there are several techniques to consider. Firstly, using an eyelash curler before applying mascara can help set the curl. Additionally, consider heating the eyelash curler gently with a hairdryer for a few seconds (ensure it's not too hot) before curling, as this can help lock in the curl.

Opt for waterproof mascara formulas that tend to hold the curl better throughout the day. Applying mascara in thin, separate coats while allowing each layer to dry before adding more can also assist in maintaining the curl. Some people find that using a mascara with a curved wand or one designed specifically for curling can help lift and maintain the curl of the lashes.

Finally, consider using a clear lash primer before mascara application to add extra hold and lift to the lashes while keeping them nourished and healthy.
