How do eyelashes get curled? Let's start with the direction of eyelash growth, length and density

Not every eyelash grows naturally upwards, have you noticed? Some people have bright eyes without makeup, and their eyelashes are like they are born with a special effect, which can be fixed with a curler; but some people have curled and brushed their eyelashes, and even tried curling their eyelashes, but they still fall flat by noon. In fact, there are three key factors behind the problem of "eyelashes not curling": growth direction, length, and density.

The first is the direction of the hair flow. If the eyelashes grow downwards, like a branch hanging down, they will easily rebound no matter how you clip them. The next is the length - too short eyelashes are difficult to support a clear curvature. Even if you clip them hard to make a C-curve, they will look like a straw cross section. The angle is there, but the visual effect is not "three-dimensional" enough. The last is the density. Too sparse eyelashes lack support and it will be difficult to maintain the curvature.

So, instead of pursuing techniques blindly, it is better to check your eyelash foundation first. These three seemingly trivial conditions actually determine the starting point of your eyelashes.

What is the difference between C curve, J curve and D curve? A complete analysis of the visual impact of curvature × eye shape

Did you know that there are actually grades for the curvature of eyelashes? The so-called curling is not the more the better, but the right amount of curvature should be achieved to make the eyes look natural and lively.

For example , the J-curve has the most natural curvature, almost close to the slight curvature of the original eyelashes, suitable for those who pursue a senseless makeup or student look; the C-curve is the most common type, with a clear but not exaggerated curvature, which can naturally support the eyelashes and make the eyes more three-dimensional, and is also a common choice for eyelash perming and eyelash extensions. As for the D-curve , the curvature is the most obvious, close to 90 degrees upward, suitable for those with thick eyelids or droopy eyes, and it is particularly effective in enhancing the charm.

But be careful, if the eye shape is not suitable, too much curvature will weaken the overall look . For example, round eyes with D-curve may appear too sharp; drooping eyes with J-curve may not be enlarged. The curling is not supported by numbers alone, but is determined by the degree of coordination of the eye shape, makeup style, and personal habits.

So before choosing the curvature, you might as well ask yourself: Do I like a natural look? A magnified look? Or a three-dimensional look? Find your style and then choose clips, perms or extensions, so that you will not get half the result with twice the effort.

The key to the effects of different eyelash curling techniques: What are the curvature limits of curling, curling, and extensions?

Do you use your eyelash curler every day? However, curling, curling, and extensions are three ways to curl eyelashes, each of which has its own "curvature limit". It is impossible to be all-purpose and you should not force yourself to do it.

The advantages of eyelash curlers are that they are fast and flexible, and as long as the technique is right, you can curl your eyelashes in sections to create a natural curvature. But the disadvantages are also obvious: they don’t last long, they collapse easily, and they require a lot of manual skill. The tools are also critical. If you choose the wrong curvature or angle of the clamp, your eyelashes may be broken before they curl.

Eyelash curling is a gift for lazy people. Hot curling can create a more obvious C-curve, while cold curling is softer and more natural. The effect can be maintained for about 3 weeks, and there is no need to re-curl every morning. However, too frequent eyelash curling may still cause damage to the hair scales, so remember to leave 6 to 8 weeks to allow time for repair.

Eyelash extensions are like a cheat. You can customize your eyelashes to be as curled, long, or thick as you want. You can even specify J/C/D curves. However, the subsequent maintenance requirements are high. If a tuft falls off, it will ruin the overall look. It also takes time and money to reattach them.

To sum up, there is no so-called "best" eyelash curling, only the most suitable one. You should choose the right technique based on the effect you need and how much time you have. This is the key to making the eyelash curling effect last longer and keep up with the pace of life.

Want to get the perfect curl? Maintenance, habits, and tool selection are your plus-point assistants

If you want your eyelashes to stay curled and last longer, the key is not only in technique, but also in daily care and selection.

Eyelash maintenance is fundamental. It is recommended to use oil-free eyelash serum before going to bed every day, which can enhance the elasticity and toughness of eyelashes, making the curvature easier to shape and less likely to break.

Makeup removal habits are also very important. Rubbing your eyes vigorously or using oil-containing eye and lip makeup removers are both killers of curling, especially after eyelash extensions, which are more likely to fall off. Switching to a gentle makeup remover + press-type cleansing is the key first step to protect eyelashes.

Finally, it’s about the tools you choose . Don’t just use that old eyelash curler! There are deep-curved and thin-edged models designed specifically for Asian eyes, and there are even heated eyelash curlers on the market. Choosing the right tool can save you effort and peace of mind in creating a natural curvature.

The kind of eyelashes you want that stay curled all day long does not rely on miracles, but on a little persistence in your daily life.

Eyelashes are not just a part of your makeup, but more like a whisper you say to yourself when you look in the mirror every day. When you find the right curvature that suits you, your eyes will naturally be more calm and you will become more confident. Instead of blindly pursuing "thick and curled", it is better to focus on letting your eyelashes speak for you naturally, which will become the most gentle yet powerful detail in your style.
