I just want to say as a lash tech who specializes in lash lifts THANK YOU for talking about how to use the lash curler properly. I have countless clients who use lash curlers and I can always tell because they have chopped off lashes at random spots and the damage is insane to the point where we just tell everyone to never use them because they're never used properly. Seriously, thank you.

[@kicunya12]

By any chance, do you know any less rounded lash curlers, or maybe it's a mistake in my technique? I used both Tarte and Revlon. When I try to go closer to the roots, they would pinch my actual eyelid skin in the corners, with a middle still being about 1/8 inch up from the roots, and I end up with a curl starting at about a third of a lash away from the base.

[@ninahatfield]

My personal ideal lashes are long and dark and thin and clean looking, so I always prefer the lengthening and stay away from volumizing formulas. I so appreciate you making the distinction between which products are better for different preferences rather than assuming everyone wants the same outcome. My eyes are a little close together so I curl my lashes at an angle outward toward my temples, and aim for a sweep rather than a tight curl, so they're long and swoopy.

[@erinparsonsmakeup]

Oh that’s an amazing tip! Love!❤

on top of the one she recommended, many Asian fiber lashes are excellent for this. I'm the same way, and have switched to pretty exclusively using Chinese waterproof fiber mascaras with the skinniest wands.

Shiseido eyelash curler is one of the best eyelash curler out there. It fit the eyes perfect and their partial eyelash curler is even better it gets in the corner where you cannot. It's interesting how in every country how we do our makeup. In Korea, there is something we called 'fire straightener' which you take a stick or skewer and heat that up, and you curl your lashes like that, I don't exactly know how to explain cause English is not my first language if anyone is interested you can do your own research, but this helps the lash to last longer, it like styling your hair with heat, cause eyelash is also hair

[@erinparsonsmakeup]

Oh wow I’ll def look into that!

[@Call-me-Al]

People have different eyelid/eyesocket and eye sizes/shapes, so which brand whole eyelash curler is the best for a person will vary from person to person. I adore partial eyelash curlers though, to me they're way less of a gamble and feel easier to use.

A good way to curl your lashes I learned in FX school, when your terrified of lash curlers like I am, you can use a warm spoon to lift them up. When I do my lashes I like using the tip of the wand to get into the inner corner lashes. I love sculpting the lashes to where it looks natural but also how I would draw them on if I was doing an illustration. Combing through the mascara if there is noticeable clumps. I get asked if I wear falsies all the time 😝 Makeup really is an art.

​@@AlisonInCT1971 the obvious false lashes are meant to look obvious, some people like that style on themselves. It's a more theatric style, similar to really blinding cheek highlighters, intense colorful blushes that can even be colors natural blushes aren't (yellow blush for instance) and unnatural eyeshadow colors like blue and so on. That said, I'd personally go crazy if I had to wear false lashes. I can barely wear rings on my fingers, it took me a lot of active training to get used to wearing lipstick as an older teen, and I have a hard time dealing with the feeling of thicker foundation on skin. I am pretty impressed with how people can wear any natural or unnatural false lashes, even though I know it feels very different to them than me.

Hiya Erin! Tried all these techniques, my lashes are hopeless at this age, 63. Lost my thick, straight lashes during MEANopause😕, haven’t had any luck since w/ mascara. There was a Korean one I loved back about 20 yrs called “Fairy Drops” that actually started to keep them curled even after removal; then it disappeared from Sephora (still on Amazon but don’t recall which one!) When in my 20s-30s I wore false lashes all the time, now can’t be bothered. However, found Kiss Falscara system to work really well for me. I’ve always put lashes on under lashes not on my lid (much more comfy, doesn’t feel heavy) & these are designed to work that way, last 10-14 days & best of all I’m not allergic to the glue! Since my eyes are more hooded now, I can use the shorter lashes & it really opens my eyes; I even use the ones for the bottom lashes. No mascara needed! Thanks for the Milani liner suggestion, I’m going to try it as *everything* winds up under my eyes even if it’s waterproof, likely eye anatomy (big, round eyes, deep set), so frustrating!

This is my first time hearing about dry oils! Thank you for explaining! I love the passion you have for your work! Max Factor had an amazing waterproof mascara that was second to none for me 💖

[@laroopanda]

Hey! Former makeup artist here, and found your comment and thought I could add some helpful info re dry oils. They were kinda a precursor to the current cleansing balm formula that is really popular now. Back when I used to work for MAC, they had a great one and also did travel sizes in the MAC Minis that was so fab. Shu Uemera definitely pioneered this dry oil formula for the western market and then cleansing balms essentially took over. But the concept is the same, in that it's an oily formula that you rub in, then water breaks it down into a milky texture that rinses off easily. Either a balm or dry oil with a Makeup Eraser cloth is gamechanging for makeup removal and I literally never use makeup wipes any more because these two things exist. Hope you enjoy whatever new thing you might try! I personally use the Elemis Cleansing Balm now which is a bit of a splurge item, but lasts forever, turns oily easily without clumps and smells divine. Hope this helps!

I have stick straight thin lashes like yours, and over the years I’ve learned how to get a proper curl out of mine just from trial and error. While watching your video, I realized all of your tips are exactly what I’ve learned!! It’s soooo so true! I don’t use false extensions but they look so stunning despite how subtle they are. It’s completely true that any non-waterproof or non-wax formula totally destroys any curl in my lashes, so I only use waterproof formulas also. The L’Oréal voluminous waterproof formula is great but I’d say the L’Oréal Voluminous Lash Paradise waterproof is my top favorite; I’ve gone back to it again and again. It does get clumpy but I’m one of those people that likes a little bit of clump. Something else I do is I take the applicator of my mascara and just lightly brush it against the very tips of my lashes to make them look a bit longer, that way I’m not just coating the base and mid length of my lashes. Perfect tutorial - thank you Erin!!!

I had a question about curly lashes and of course you answered it perfectly. So I deleted it, but I wanted to tell you how much I love those earrings. You look fabulous in everything but those are stunning.

THANKS FOR MAKING EYES DIFFERENT TO SEE THE EFFECT IN COMPARISON ❤❤❤

She really is the beauty influence I’ve been waiting for. She is a mature woman, as I am ( I’m definitely more mature 😉) and has got the credentials to influence. I love her videos on the history of make up and she executes with perfection.

[@spoon4732]

[@Or-os1em]

Who you callin' mature fool ?

[@Kirsten1313]

This is hands down, my FAV makeup channel!

[@lilithz]

this is literally a better quality video lesson than what i get in college

[@nicholeandalby]

Before i started watching you i was not having fun with my makeup i was doing the same boring kim Kardashian makeup everyday. Now im experimenting again and actually look forward to applying my makeup! Thanks to you i was also able to take my vintage collecting into the makeup department. I was at an antique store and bought a revlon les couturine lipstick for only $20! I also found a reich asch deere art deco pink powder tin. Thank you Erin!

[@pamelaang6968]

Thank u for sharing this Erin ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Please do more of these makeup tutorials. I love itttt. The way you explains truly show how much you understands how makeup works. Please do more of these. ❤❤❤

[@honeydew661]

I TRIED THIS TODAY!! It works!!!! I literally have the flattest lashes they don’t stay up no matter what I dooooo. Thank youuuuuu literally you have changed my life I didn’t think my lashes had any length. I used the waterproof loreal lash paradise btw

[@Roxannahovannaa9779]

I love your videos and everything you do! Thank you especially for all of the education 💋

[@pristidactylus]

Thank you so much for mentioning splits in the rubber band of the eyelash curler. Now I know why parts of my eyelashes look like stubble. This video has such useful information❤

[@ondinad8868]

Thank you for this video, I am not someone who is able to false lashes so this video is a huge plus for me!

[@aiai-j7i]

I have only watched "shorts" by you and had never seen you without full makeup. You are absolutely gorgeous!! I just had to say it !

[@neurospicyrainbow]

I did this technique with just the sephora mascara. Sometimes my lashes curl a bit wonky, but today was amazing 🤩

[@marie-eveprave5254]

Again, you're so amazing on how to teach us some basic techniques...so interesting and informative

[@momof3plusdsg]

Starting at the tip will make this "new" way of curling my lashes easier, thank you! In 1991, another girl showed me how to "curl" my lashes and I never questioned the hard crimp at the roots and I never wondered if there was another way to curl my lashes. Until earlier this week, and I'm shocked that I accepted this for 33 years.

[@rogenamarieanderson4522]

The essence lash princess with the blue packaging is waterproof and has the same wand as the clinic, it reminds me of maybe a dupe for the clinic mascara

[@luabella_]

When you speak about being on set, it reminds me of EVERY HMUA job I have ever done. I relate to you!! Thank you for your efforts, dedication and passion to your craft. This industry can soften that with politics, egos and long hours. THANK YOU, ERIN!!!!

[@mermilani4525]

I love Lancome mascara. I've used it for 20 years now. Im also a mascara junky. I have everything. The lash discovery is great for bottom lashes. I was so happy to see you say that. Agreed

[@annemillard100]

What Lancôme mascara do you use? Is it waterproof? X

[@mermilani4525]

Hypnose. No waterproof

[@annemillard100]

@@mermilani4525 thank you & do your lashes stay curled even though it’s not waterproof? X

[@mermilani4525]

Not for real lol I need to watch this video again

[@NJ-Cathie]

You are the best Erin! Love your top.

[@briannasbeautycorner9866]

I would looovvee to see just a video of your favorite products and techniques 😍

[@gulcinkucuk9885]

I guess this can be the most useful and effective tutorial on the youtube

[@ariel8818]

You're so down to earth and talented 🖤

[@nicoleck9288]

I’m OBSESSED with lash combs! Such a game changer. Same with fiber mascaras. I loved loved loved Jane High Fiber Mascara back in the day… Your videos are so amazing and I learn so much! ❤

[@morganmlaidd]

I LOVE your natural look. BEAUTIFUL!

[@TheRedFreddy]

me, a drag queen watching this video who absolutely would never do a natural lash but still absolutely blown away by the results! you’re truly an icon in the makeup scene right now

[@breeyoung8777]

Your videos are absolutely a cut above all the other beauty you tubers. The vintage stuff is fascinating and ur role playing is so so entertaining Everytime i buy mascara i try something new. Havent found the one yet but i learned alot from this tutorial. I will definitely give waterproof a try as well as the dry oil Thanks Erin!

[@annikasterner9251]

You're my new favourite channel - in a way i wish i'd found you even later so that i would have more content to binge! 🥰

[@erinparsonsmakeup]

I’ve filmed two new videos in Chicago so should have more to come soon!

[@tamilee9462]

so beautiful, dainty. and edgy all in one package

[@francescaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Hi Erin! I was always so scared of doing my brows, can u please make a vid about brows later? I'd die happy lol! Love u Erin you're officially my one and only fav make up guru!

[@breeyoung8777]

🎉Ooh yes I vote for that too!

[@ClaraSunshine]

This is the first time I saw you with no makeup. You look like an angel! So beautiful. If I was looking this way, I will be natural almost of the time. This hair color and haircut suits you marvelously. Have a good day ☺️

[@leighinreallife7386]

I adore you, Erin! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@qveenissac]

5:23 I have a similar lash comb/spoolie from Crown and I like to bend the spoolie so it's easier to comb the lashes (or brows). The metal comb is also FANTASTIC for combing thru & removing any hairs or fuzz that gets stuck in spoolies.

[@raedog68]

Ive only ever done my upper lashes, because I have almond shaped, small eyes. So I feel like putting only mascara on my upper lashes makes them look bigger. Lauren Bacall is my idol, and I try to copy her style, and her lashes always looked like only the upper lashes were done. Thank you for this!! PS….if you can do a false lash tutorial for the inept…I would love it….Im awful at applying false eyelashes, but I love them!!

[@scooby6742]

You're the best, Girl! Thanks again!
