Eyelashes are the most important part of eye makeup and eyelash curling is the most tedious and challenging task specially with straight hairs.
Mascara and curled eyelashes make eyes more open and despite curling your eyelashes and coating them with mascara, there is no guarantee that your lashes will stay curled for all day long.

Warning: Before using the heated eyelash curler, check the temperature with your fingers.
Using Vaseline

Waterproof mascara and false eyelash are saviors

These eye lashes cannot be reused as the glue makes them look gritty and tends to bend them out of shape. False eyelashes are easily bendable and can be used by a wider range of makeup wearers as compared to other options such as magnetic lashes. There are wide variety of eyelashes available in the market such as:
- Strip Lashes

False eyelashes are available in various types of materials such as natural lashes, synthetic lashes, mink lashes, silk lashes and others made up with the help of different technologies namely handmade, machine made and combination.
