These eyelash curlers from shu uemura, Chanel and mark. will make you want to curl up but not die!

I think many people really underestimate the impact a curled lash can add to opening up your eyes and making them look big, bright and awake!

I admit that I don't always do it out of sheer laziness but I can also see how the uninitiated might find the curler a little intimidating looking or not even know quite what to do with it - you'll be happy to know that it's super easy, check out our quick primer and get curling!

Remember to use on clean lashes before applying your mascara - then:

1- Position lashes at the opening of the eyelash
curler by placing it at the base of the lashes.
2- Press lightly on the handles and hold for
several seconds.
3- Gently release.
4- Apply mascara as usual.
