Beauty Debate: Should You Use an Eyelash Curler Every Day?

The Case Against Using an Eyelash Curler Every Day

I’m super anti-eyelash curler. My dislike stems from three factors: 1) I hate the pinching feeling I get whenever I use one, no matter how comfortable the product is supposed to be. 2) Anything that adds time to my morning routine is a big no for me. And 3) I worry that using one too often will cause damage to my natural lashes. If a professional is doing my makeup or I’m going out to a big event, I’ll make an exception, but otherwise, I rely on curling and lifting mascaras to do the work of an eyelash curler for me. I’ve sworn by the Lancôme Grandiôse Extrême Mascara for years (the curved wand provides a major lash boost), and lately I’ve been loving the Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara for a more affordable option. — Lindsey, content director
