Tip 1: Curl your lashes every day

It may sound crazy, but Babaian says with daily use of the curler, "you can actually train your lashes to curl." Initially, lashes are more resistant to curling, so you may have to hold down on the curler longer for the first few weeks. But she says eventually they will learn and you'll see a difference, so don't be discouraged after the first few times and continue to curl dutifully.

I love my Shu Uemera lash curler. I have two of them and bought my sister one too.

I've also noticed that a mascara with a drier or 'tubing' formula works wonders with these tips, such that my lashes don't start drooping immediately when I apply because of a wet formula!

I'm asian and I have SO many problems with my eyelashes. These tips really help- I will purchase a Shu Uemura eyelash curler sometime soon.

Good tips, I use them even though I'm not asian and my lashes stay curled.

I walk it out when curling my lashes everyday. I think it makes a dramatic improvement.
