LASH ROUTINE (How to curl straight, stubborn lashes)

Leave a 👋 if you are also part of the straight eyelash club! The right curling technique can make even the most straight, downward pointing lashes like mine look long and gorgeous so I wanted to share an updated lash routine for maximizing short, straight lashes and keeping them curled ALL DAY. Especially if you have monolids, the top lid tends to push that lash down so if you are in that boat, I GOTCHU! Leave me a comment letting me know what kind of eyelids you have!!!

I haven't seen you in about 10years and you haven't aged a day!!!

[@chee317]

I purchased my Shiseido curler long ago because of you, one of the best purchases ☺️

[@frmheadtotoe]

It’s been a very “buy it for life” kind of purchase! So worth the initial cost

[@coconutpanda]

This is my eyelash routine too! One thing I would add is that, depending on the humidity of your climate, your lashes may be too 'damp' to hold a curl. In order for a lash curler to work well, your lashes must be as dry as possible, void of moisture or oils from creams, etc. I suggest giving them a little dusting of setting powder or neutral powder eyeshadow before curling - your mascara will hide any powdery residue. You can also use your heated eyelash curler to 'dry' your lashes before curling. Also that little bit of extra heat helps to hold the curl when I go in with my squeeze-y curler. I agree with Jen - the heated lash curler alone is not quite enough.

[@su-lid6682]

Just tried this technique today and it totally worked awesome. I think focusing on each "corner " of the eye was a really good tip. I use that mascara too!

[@regallineage6091]

You were one of my first make up videos I saw on KZbin. I have been following you ever since. You are amazing! Your tutorials are simple to follow and you always take your time getting to the point. I love how you teach! Thank you for doing such great work.

[@sherryvang1]

I’ve loved your mascara 101 video ever since you uploaded it! Always went back to it whenever I struggled with my own Asian lashes. So happy to see this new updated one! Thanks so much Jen! ❤️ I can’t wait to try out these products and tips!

[@frmheadtotoe]

That video is... I don’t even know how many years old! So I thought this would be a good one to update. 😘 By the way, I feel like there are so many other good mascaras that have come out in the market since then too!

[@finelinealright]

Love your vids Jen!! I’ve been watching your channel for years and you still look as fabulous as ever!

[@molo3986]

👏Wonderful that you addressed this issue! Bravo! It took me year’s and your manual recommendation is spot on. Another phenomenon product is the Hot Lash eyelash curler. The plug in is better then the battery. Great job!

[@jasmines4046]

Interesting tips! I'm going to try them. I previously tried a heated lash curler, as well as heating my regular lash curler with a blow dryer and with both methods found that the heat damages the lashes and causes breakage if you use it frequently. My lashes aren't super long but they aren't short. I actually gave up curling my lashes at all and noticed that my lashes grew much longer... Probably because you aren't messing with them as much. Also I found that using waterproof mascara formulas also dry out my lashes.

[@nebulashine4600]

nice ❣ you've been so family focused, been missing your makeup videos ❣💕 tyyyyy

[@knnn2510]

I have this combo of curler and mascara. They are amazing on strainght lashes. Been using shisheido curler for years, nothing can replace this product 😍

[@karenarmstrong6999]

Oh my godness thank you SO much for an incredible tutorial. I have straight lashes that point into my eyeballs. They are so straight that even lash lift procedures won't hold them for longer than about three weeks. I decided to give the lash lift a rest but I despair about trying to lift them. I am really looking forward to trying the double technique and hopefully having lashes that at least stay up while I have mascara on. Thank you so much.

[@dawnnpark]

I have had so many problems where my lashes won't stay curled so this was super helpful for my Asian downward facing lashes

[@kimmykimsters]

Jen, thanks for another great video. I’ve been watching your channel for years and every WP mascara I’ve tried from your recommendations has been awesome for my short Asian lashes.

[@frmheadtotoe]

You're so welcome and thank you for watching for so many years 🥺 If you haven't tried this one out you DEFINITELY should!!! It's amazing and pretty much won my last mascara showdown video!

[@5-minuteindonesian534]

I actually know how to put on my mascara & curl it, yet I watched it because I love your video content, your tone and pronunciation.. It’s soothing 💖

[@joannparker1977]

Thank you thank you! I’m not Asian, but my eyelashes are pretty much nonexistent. They are super light, short, and point downward. I do all this great makeup on the rest of my face, but no matter how much mascara I lather on, it doesn’t look like I’ve done anything! Plus, since my lashes grow downward, the massive amount of mascara I put on irritates my eyes and I end up with bloodshot eyes. I’m older than you. A lot of the problem stems from eyelash curlers ripping out my lashes. So I’ve stopped using them. I couldn’t even get the curler to grab all my lashes. 😕 I’m glad to know there a different shapes. Thank you for showing how to use your eyelash curler so it grabs all the lashes!!!!!!

This is a great video with very detailed tips! Thank you, Jen!

I’ve had my cheap gold daiso curler for a decade and only had to change the squishy pad once! And believe me it’s is verrrry well loved and works great.

[@evelina]

Thank you for this! My lashes are pretty long but downward pointing too:’( Latisse also helps!

[@frmheadtotoe]

That’s so true! I tried latisse before and it made my lashes look SO nice!! Unfortunately my skin is prone to pigmentation and I started getting dark circles so it doesn’t work for me long term but I miss those luscious lashes 👍

[@Inthaxoum]

@@frmheadtotoe can you do a review/pros and cons of latisse?

[@violetviolet888]

@@frmheadtotoe Another tip is to soak the eyelash curler in very *warm water* (but not hot enough to hurt your skin).

[@Kim-Unearthed]

Thank you sooo much for this!! I have insanely long eyelashes but couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get them to curl! They're so straight I can't stand it! I didn't know how to use am eyelash curler properly until you just showed me so I gave up using mine lol. I'm going to give it another shot now! And I just ordered a mascara guard as well! Can't wait to put it all to the test! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@lulutube3131]

Also in the short lash club! One thing that really really helps is to blow hot air onto the lash curler! It's a little hot at first, but it makes my lashes stay up for so long!! Would definitely recommend :)

[@charlottieday1065]

Yeah!! I love this method too!!! v useful trick

[@ldlee2067]

Thanks for the tips! I love your brow shape--how do you get them so perfect? What products do you use for the brow color?

[@magpiesneedle2575]

This has even helpful. I am Caucasian with hooded eyes and similar eyelashes to yourself. I have yet to find a curler that works for me, but I am currently trying out the ‘half’ size version. I could never get the hand of a guard (mine looks just like yours) And I just want to tell you what an engaging personality you have. I am glad to have found you, purely by chance, and have subscribed.

Its quite amazing that this tutorial came up coz i was searching for heating eyelash curler just yday and wasnt sure if it was worth it or not 😲

[@frmheadtotoe]

I definitely enjoy having one in my arsenal but it’s not 100% necessary for everyday use! Little tip: take the battery out when it’s not in use so it doesn’t die out as fast!

[@ashleychung6371]

I use the “eyelash blow dryer” from Korean brand. Apparently it’s better for your lashes since it lets warm air to blow dry your eyelashes instead of using direct heat. Big fan of your videos!! I struggled with my monolids too

[@cha4onda]

Ooh do you have a link to this?

[@missjennx3]

Omg what are you wearing on your lips? sooo pretty

[@izluc9378]

Would you recommend the shu uemura or shiseido lash curler? And how often do you need to replace the curler pads

[@katherinerand1892]

Thank you for this. I have never had luck with lash curlers. I have one and decided to try again while watching you and I think I had more success than I ever have. I haven’t added mascara as I am about to go to bed. I wear glasses and my lashes stick straight out which touch my glasses very annoying. Now to see how long the curl stays . Also I still have to perfect it as It still seems my lashes want to stick straight out. I don’t have a heated lash curler, do you worry your lashes could burn off with it?

[@les18kar]

Hi! I love your look here! What lip products did you use? Thank you!

[@lexijones8414]

Great tip pushing down.

[@mjmcnay3448]

I also love using a hair dryer on the curler for 10 seconds and it helps mine hold the curl

Can you do an eye lash curler review that is best for flat asian eyes. I heard innisfree is good too

[@Ishtabest]

okay, just have to say you and your eyes look really exotic and gorgeous before you do anything to them! (and I totally get it that you want a different look sometimes). Just wanted to say I was struck by how lovely you looked before you even did anything to them 🙂;-)

[@juliast.george9304]

This is so helpful! Thank you for this. I have hooded eyes and have more long and defined lashes than the average asian eyes, but I have a hard time getting my lashes to hold their curl. Can you do a in depth video on how to put on eye liner?

[@YouBeTheHero]

If you scroll through her old videos, she has ones on how to do eyeliner!

[@jpopstar777]

Omg I really needed this tutorial! Gave up lash extensions and have been trying to figure out how to live without them again with my stubborn and straight lashes...

[@frmheadtotoe]

Going lash-extension free after having them for so long is liberating in its own way! My eyes didn’t feel as heavy, didn’t have to worry about water or oil cleansers getting on them, plus it gave my natural lashes a chance to grow stronger and thicker again. I hope the video helps you feel more confident in your natural lash curling skills!

[@RVC0902]

Shu Umera curler is amazing

[@lindaayang]

Do you find that asian mascaras hold a curl better than american drugstore mascaras? I feel like with mascaras like L’oreal or Maybelline (waterproof), I have to wait for a new tube to be semi dried out for it to hold my curl.

[@swtxaries]

if you use your hairdryer on your eyelash curler and use it when it's warm, it's like curling your hair and it works much better and stays longer!

[@hongle8050]

Ooh! Never thought to try this before. Great idea!

😩 asian lashes. I hate mine so much hahaha ! Thanks for that video !

[@katherineyee]

Do you replace the rubber pads from the same brand or just the generic ones?

[@frmheadtotoe]

I’ve tried generic replacements and they were just never the same. Lesson learned, I buy the same brand because the pads fit all the way to the edges which is so important for not getting weird crimps and missed lashes!

[@ry439]

A trick i use is to hold a business card on my eyelid when applying mascara. This protects from trying mascara on my eyelid and you don’t need to buy a special guard for it.

[@Lafalot54]

I was using a cheap eyelash curler from the drugstore last week, and literally it went off the pad and chopped off half my lashes on one eye which really hurt since like ripped it out of my eyelid or something. Now I’m terrified of the clamp style lash curlers and I bought a heated one to use by itself. I have short Asian lashes so you can’t see half of it’s missing anyway, but I’ll probably wear falsies now since it looks so sad and bare

[@frmheadtotoe]

You're lucky you still have lower lashes. Lol I gave up on mine a long time ago.
