The 10 second lash hack that makes all the difference

Make every lash count with this possibly life-changing beauty tip

We have all come across an eyelash curler in our time. Some people (the ones who know exactly how to use them) love them, but others see them a torture device or, at best, useless. If you fall into the latter category, I'm here to change the way you think about the common-as-muck contraption. It is far more useful than you might realise.

Think about it, when we curl our hair a cold curling iron is just not going to cut it. The device needs to be hot for it to curl the hair. A lash curler is the same. Next time, before you curl your lashes, try heating it up with a hair dryer. Just put the hair dryer on max temperature and give it a blast for about ten seconds. Don't forget to test the heat on your hand first so you don't burn your eyelid. I've had many an incident where I was in a rush and forgot this part. Not fun.

Trust me; your results will be amazing.

Follow with a small coat of mascara, and your lashes will look curled and fan-like all day long.
