This eyelash curler is so much better than the cheap ones I have. It gives me lashes that have a nice round curl, unlike normal eye lash curler. And coz its curlier my lashes now look longer as the lashes can even be seen on my eyelids even when my eyes are open. My mom even thought I was using false lashes. The curl seems to last longer too. I use the eyelash curler b4 and after applying mascara for the best effect.The only compliant is that on one of my eyes, the eyelash curler does not curl my outer lashes./
