eyelash growth

I remember the first time I ever saw an eyelash curler. I was 7 years old. I was sitting in my aunt’s bathroom, on the counter as she put makeup on me. Most of the makeup application was pretty painless up until I laid eyes on her eyelash curler. I had no idea what it was. When I realized that she was going to put the thing right up to my eyeballs and use it to curl my eyelashes, I started to rethink my excitement over my first makeup application.

Fast forward years later, I no longer fear the iconic eyelash curler. I embrace it. in fact, I can’t imagine my daily routine without it. I have used several types of eyelash curlers over the years. The Shu Uemura eyelash curler has been, by far, my favorite eyelash curler that I’ve ever used. it helps to create a perfect curl with each use because of its mushroom-shaped silicone pad. The silicone pad creates a stay-put edge for the lashes to lay on. There’s no pinching or funky crimping of the lashes. Just perfectly curled lashes each time.

To use the Shu Uemura eyelash curler:

1. Open curler by spreading the handles.
2. Center the upper lashes between the top and bottom (silicone pad) section of the curler.
3. Position the curler at the base of the lash line.
4. Gently squeeze handles and hold at a 45 degree angle for 10-15 seconds.

**To avoid any breakage, use the eyelash curler before applying mascara.

Shu Uemura recommends:

- clean the eyelash curler after each use.
- Replace the silicone pad after three months (a replacement pad is included)
- The eyelash curler should be replaced every six months

Shu Uemura products are no longer available for sale here in the United States. there aren’t anymore Shu Uemura freestanding boutiques. you can’t even purchase Shu Uemura products in a Sephora store. it appears that you can still purchase the Shu Uemura eyelash curler on Sephora.com so get them while you can before they’re all gone.
