Step 1: Open the curler and hold it at the base of your lashes.
Take the eyelash curler in your dominant hand, and move it to the open position.
Hold it up to your eye, placing it so it’s at the base of your lashes.Don’t apply mascara to your lashes before using the eyelash curler.
The lashes can stick to the curler’s pads if they have makeup on them and you may wind up pulling them out when you curling.
You should hold the curler like a pair of scissors, with the curved side facing outwards.
Line up the padded strip on the bottom edge of the curler with the root of your lashes.
Make sure that all of your lashes are inside the opening between the upper and lower edge of the curler. -
Step 2: Squeeze the curler closed and pulse lightly.

To ensure the best curl, keep the curler closed on your lashes for 5 to 10 seconds. , After you’ve curled your lashes at the base, open the curler and move it halfway down your lashes.
Close it again, pulsing lightly to add a curl to the middle of your lashes.
Once again, be sure to keep the curler closed for at least 5 seconds to ensure a defined curl. , Slide the eyelash curler down to the ends of your lashes.
Close it, and pulse gently to curl the tips of your lashes.
