Look Younger ... with eye brightening eyelashes!

One of the quickest ways to give yourself an instant facelift is to curl your eyelashes.  It opens up tired eyes, lifts your lids, and makes you look years younger!  Just have a look at the image below to see the difference curling your eyelashes can make.

My favourite eyelash curlers are by shu uemura, currently £20 at House of Fraser.  Well worth their price as they don't leave the eyelash with the L-shape 'curl' some cheaper brands leave.

The trick to curling your eyelashes correctly is to 'walk' the curler along the length of your lashes.  Once curled, apply mascara, and when dry, apply a coat of waterproof mascara to give lasting hold.

If you don't like the idea of the crimp-style eyelash curlers, use a heated eyelash curler instead.  Apply your mascara as usual, then starting at the base of your lashes, push up and twist the curler in your hand to achieve a lifting curl to the lash.  (Don't worry these never become too warm, so you'll not burn yourself).  My favourite heated eyelash curler is by eyelure, currently £10.20 in Debenhams.
