"Eye Makeup: How to Use an Eyelash Curler
Hi, I'm Patricia Longo and I'm a celebrity
makeup artist.
I've worked with models from Sports Illustrated
like Brooklyn Decker and Julie Henderson to
Alex Baldwin at 30 Rock.
All those things that experts do that the
average person doesn't know how to do we'll
learn how to do it on these videos.
Using an eyelash curler I know is one of the
hardest things to do.
Unfortunately for some people they can't do
it on themselves.
But I'm going to show you a little technique
that you can do to actually curl your own
lashes without a professional doing it.
So if you're looking in the mirror, I always
tell people to lift your head just a little
bit so that way your lashes are angular.
Because if you curl your lashes like this,
you're never going to get in there.
So I always recommend just lifting your head
up just a little bit with the curler I put
it right on the cheek and I place it like
this.
And what it does because your head is lifted
you grab the lashes and now you squeeze.
And as she lifts her head this way you can
go back and look into the mirror and you'll
see that I'm actually pumping a little bit
to curl the lash.
And make sure I got in there and I'm holding
it.
And I recommend holding it down for 10 seconds.
Don't pump too much and always do it before
you put mascara.
Another thing you can use instead of an eyelash
curler is your finger.
Sometimes I would just take my thumb and bend
her lashes.
And that works as well and it's very gentle.
And there is a curl."
