Well, I am sorry I bought this, the old Maybelline curler works as well. I don’t see what the fuss is about and I can’t return it. Bummer.
I might try a heated one.
This eyelash curler works nicely but I’m not sure it works all that much better than a name-brand curler from the drugstore. For the price I was expecting more.
If you heat it up for a few seconds with your blow dryer before using it then you get the same effect as a heated curler. Lashes look the same except the curl will last all day without limping. You could do this with any curler, though.
This product is great, well constructed but not for me. I am Euro-American. I have some small amount of Native American which is where I guess the “Asian” would come in. My eye folds are not very pronounced and regular curlers don’t work for me. I had hoped that this would as my eye shape is less Caucasian than typical but not exactly Asian either. I found lots of reviews by Asian-Americans prior to buying and had hoped this would work but not quite. Apparently the shu uemura has even less of curvature than the shiseido so it works better for some Asians but would definitely not work for me.
It is very comfortable. It does a great job on the inner lashes (closest to my nose) without pinching my eyelid. Problem for me is that it doesn’t pick up the outer lashes (closest to my temple) at all (which are the ones I am most concerned with curling).
A cheap drug store curler does a better job on those outer lashes for me but still doesn’t get all of them and it always pinches my inner eyelid.
Even though its not working for me, this is a great curler. It comes with an additional pad so that’s a nice bonus. Refills are available for purchase so that’s good too assuming the mechanism continues to work. I suppose that you will love it if it matches up with the curvature of your eye. I will have to continue to search.
After seeing rave reviews of the Shiseido and Shu Uemura eyelash curlers on every beauty supply site that I shopped, I decided to find out if there really is something better out there than my cheap, old eyelash curlers. I chose the Shiseido, because replacement rubber pads are available, whereas Shu Uemura requires you to replace the whole curler when the pad wears out. Apart from its color, the Shiseido eyelash curler looks like a traditional clamp curler. It’s a dark gray color, like oxidized silver, and the rubber pads are black. The difference in function is due to a slightly longer and flatter clamp that easily reaches corner lashes and a wider rubber pad to avoid crimping.
I’ve read that the Shiseido is shaped more ideally for Asian eyes, and, while it’s true that the clamp is not as curved as the natural shape of my eye, this isn’t an impediment. I’ve used Maybelline and Revlon eyelash curlers in the past, and the Shiseido performs much better: 1.) It doesn’t crimp as badly. 2.) It reaches the corner lashes easily. 3.) The curl holds longer. I have long eyelashes, and it has been difficult to curl the very long lashes in the corner, which are the ones that most need to be curled. I had to yank the skin up, then twist the curler around to catch the lashes. It helps to give the corner a little tug with the Shiseido in order to curl the corner lashes closer to the root, but it catches all lashes in one try.
It curls so well that I risk over-curling the lashes in the center to the extent that they touch the skin above my eye. The Shiseido is more difficult than the cheap brands to slide along the lashes, squeeze, slide, squeeze, in order to even out the curl. This is because the rubber pad sticks to the lashes a bit. But I have found that it’s usually unnecessary, because the curler doesn’t crimp. It creates a smooth curl in the first place. The Shiseido is so much easier to use to great effect that I would never go back to cheaper brands. It comes with one rubber pad refill. Curl before applying mascara, but I suggest applying eyeliner before you curl, as the curly lashes get in the way.
I’ve been using a cheap revlon eyelash curler for the longest time. I finally decided it was time to upgrade and since Shiseido makes great products I felt it was worth a try. I tried it out at the makeup counter and was totally convinced! It curled my lashes so good they looked fake. Keep in mind, my lashes are short, sparse, and thin (thanks to my asian genes). I use this with the Shiseido “Perfect Mascara” and my lashes look thick and beautiful! I can only imagine what it would do to someone who has naturally long lashes……….
BONUS- it comes with an extra refill so it will last a long time!
