How to Get a Natural Lash Curl

Sat, 05/2/2009 by Karen | Posted in: Makeup Tips/How To, Video

Good morning, ladies! I hope your weekend got off to a good start. I’m not sure what I’ve got going on today, which is good in that it probably means there’s nothing I absolutely HAVE to get done.

For this post I’ve done a quick video (click here for the video) showing how I curl my eyelashes. I apologize for not putting up any videos lately, but I’ll get back into the habit again.

Enjoy your weekend! Let me know what you’re up to.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Love your new hair, girlfriend! I need to get the Shu curler but my eyes are really tiny. I don’t know if the whole curler would fit into the curve of my eyes or not :(

    My lashes are normally naturally curly just every once in a while they like to go Asian and become stick straight and the curler is busted out of hiding. My mom always remarks my eyelash curler looks like a weapon. I have a Revlon one at the moment as I don’t use my curler that often to justify the Shu Uemura one.

    Good tips!

    you’re so cute!

  11. 11. Arianne said, on May 2nd, 2009:

    Karen, we do really want to know about your glowy skin! What’s the secret?

  12. 12. Elissa said, on May 2nd, 2009:

    I like the shine on your cheeks. What did you use to highlight them?

  13. 13. Tali said, on May 2nd, 2009:

    I use the Shu-U curlers too!
    They really are the best.. and i heard that they come in a mini form?? I have to find out!
    A fellow blogger suggests using a hairdryer to heat the wand slightly before curling to mae the curl last longer..works so well!!

    I got the elf ones to review for my blog and they were really dreadful! Torture devices more than curlers.

    Looking great Karen!

    Hi Meream,

    Happy to help. :)

  16. 16. Karen said, on May 2nd, 2009:

    Hi Claire,

    LOL, I was having a rare good hair day… :)

    Hope you’re having a nice Saturday!

  17. 17. Karen said, on May 2nd, 2009:

    Hi Flora,

    On my eyes I’m wearing the Urban Decay Get Baked palette along with Clinique’s High Impact Curling Mascara. On my cheeks — NARS The Multiple Orgasm.

  18. 18. Karen said, on May 2nd, 2009:

    Hi Dao,

    I bet the mini version of the Shu Curler would work for you! It’s $17 at Sephora.

  19. 19. Karen said, on May 2nd, 2009:

    Hi Janet,

    I get the Reese comparison a lot. :) I like her so I don’t mind!

  20. 20. Karen said, on May 2nd, 2009:

    Hi Jane,

    I hope you pick it up! It makes curling lashes so easy. :)

  21. 21. Karen said, on May 2nd, 2009:

    Hi Lesley,

    Thanks! I’m glad to hear the vid was helpful.

    Hope you’re having a nice weekend so far!

  22. 22. Karen said, on May 2nd, 2009:

    Hi Nicole,

    Thanks!

    How’s you’re Saturday going?

  23. 23. Karen said, on May 2nd, 2009:

    Hi Kate & Zena,

    I’ve tried the Revlon one in the past and it’s pretty good…

  24. 24. Karen said, on May 2nd, 2009:

    Hi Leslie,
    :) Thank you.

  25. 25. Karen said, on May 2nd, 2009:

    Hi Arianne,

    Nars the Multiple Orgasm! Oh, and some Chanel Bronzer…

  26. 26. Karen said, on May 2nd, 2009:

    Hi Elissa,

    It’s Nars the Multiple Orgasm, my new favorite cream blush.

  27. 27. Karen said, on May 2nd, 2009:

    Hi Tali,

    I’ve done that in the past but I try to avoid using heat on because it can damage hair… plus I’m clumsy so I’m bound to burn myself!

    It does make it easier to curl, though…

  28. 28. Karen said, on May 2nd, 2009:

    Hi Camellia,

    Sure! I’ll try to do them more often. :)

  29. 29. Heather said, on May 2nd, 2009:

    @ Jane! I am watching legally blonde right this moment!!!

  30. 30. Maggie said, on May 2nd, 2009:

  31. 31. Mansie said, on May 2nd, 2009:

    Hey, how often do you replace your eyelash curler? I think it tells you to replace it every 3 months, but do you think that’s necessary? :D

  32. 32. Okami said, on May 2nd, 2009:

    I just had to comment on this – your skin looks so wonderful here! It’s clear and even and smooth and perfectly glowing – what skincare and makeup were you using here? You look so naturally flawless!

  33. 33. kia said, on May 3rd, 2009:

    how cute are you? fab hair!!

  34. 34. Catherine said, on May 3rd, 2009:

    Karen, you look amazing!

    Thanks for the tips. =) Sadly, my eyes are too flat/small for the Shu to fit comfortably (I pinch myself and don’t even get halfway up my lashes… Shiseido, Tarte and many others are like this too). If any other ladies are having the same trouble, I finally, finally, finally found a curler that works for me! It’s Koji’s “wide” curler (it has a 22mm diameter instead of the regular 18mm one). I got it at Marukai Living for $7, but you should be able to find it online or at other Japanese markets. Hope that helps someone!

    Your makeup looks exquisite in the video!

  36. 36. Lehea said, on May 4th, 2009:

    This I’ll definitely try. I have that lash curler too, but I’m ashamed to say I haven’t used it yet. Something’s wrong with me. LOL

  37. 37. Karen said, on May 4th, 2009:

    Hi Lehea,

    It’s a fab lash curler… trust me, you’ll notice a difference. :)

  38. 38. Karen said, on May 4th, 2009:

    Hi Rachel,

    Thanks! :) I was having a good hair and makeup day.

  39. 39. Karen said, on May 4th, 2009:

    Hi Catherine,

    Thanks for the recommendation. ‘Tis very helpful. :)

  40. 40. Karen said, on May 4th, 2009:

    Hi Kia,

    Thank you. :) Hope you have a great week!

  41. 41. Karen said, on May 4th, 2009:

    Hi Okami,

    Aww, thanks!

    For skin care I’ve been using Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser, Dermalogica Active Moist Moisturizer and Clinique Mild Exfoliating Toner.

    On my face I’m wearing Laura Mercier Oil-Free Foundation and MAC Select Sheer Powder. :)

  42. 42. Karen said, on May 4th, 2009:

    Hi Mansie,

    I don’t replace it — I’ve read that you’re supposed to change the pads every so often but I rarely even do that.

  43. 43. Karen said, on May 4th, 2009:

    Hi Maggie,

    Thank you! :) Happy Monday!

  44. 44. Karen said, on May 4th, 2009:

    Hi Heather,

    LOL, I love that movie, too!
