Curl Resistant Lashes.

The best tip I know for curling curl resistant eyelashes is to curl the lashes with an eyelash curler first and then show that curl who’s boss with absolute lashings of quality waterproof mascara. I know, for many of you, waterproof mascara gives you the willies, but it is, indeed, awesome at encouraging poker straight lashes to maintain its new curl. I suspect, the reason why most folks are hesitant to go the waterproof is that it has been known to make your lashes a bit, well, let’s say, crunchy. I’d wholeheartedly agree that crunch is best left for a gorgeous apple, but many of the newer formulated waterproof mascaras are far less hardcore, thankfully.

I remain a disciple of the school of thought and practice that says “curl before you coat”. Life’s too short and lashes too few, to risk loosing the odd lash by curling eyelashes after applying mascara and possibly getting one or two of those precious few stuck to the curler and accidentally removed. I know that there are a handful of you adrenalin junkies out there that curl after you coat and still have a raging row of lashes, but, I don’t reckon the majority of us would be so lucky. The big thing to remember about waterproof mascara, though, is to remove it. Bi-phaseal eye makeup remover makes light work of taking off waterproof mascara. Just ensure that once you’ve removed the mascara, to cleanse any oily residue off and splash with water as the final rinse before gently patting dry. Also, don’t forget to wipe your eyelash curler clean after each use. Any eye makeup used on your eyes prior to applying mascara can find its way onto your lashes and transfer onto your curler and can act much the same as mascara-ing your lashes before curling if the residue is sufficiently built up. A wipe with a clean tissue aught to suffice. Just remember, waterproof mascara and a quality eyelash curler are a curl’s best friend!
