This is the best eye lash curler ever!!! Especially for anyone with short, straight lashes, like myself. I used to wear false eye lashes everyday, but now that I've tried this plus waterproof mascara (it holds the curl faster and better), I save the falsies for special occassions. I've tried everything and this is the best thing so far... I recommend this to all my friends all the time, because the shape of the curler fits the eye area better without pinching.
