Curling mascara
Curling mascara – the best mascara for straight eyelashes
Dreaming of lashes that lift, curl, and open up your eyes in an instant? Then a good curling mascara will be your new best friend. Whether you're after a natural curl or full-on dramatic lift, the best curling mascara can give your lashes that perfect upward sweep. Say goodbye to droopy lashes and hello to a wide-eyed, fluttery finish that lasts from morning coffee to evening plans.
Straight eyelashes
Some people are just born with beautifully curled lashes – others, not so much. Straight lashes are completely normal and more common than you might think, especially for those with downward-growing lashes. While a lash curler can help, the real magic lies in having a good mascara for curling eyelashes. It should be specially designed to lift and hold your lashes up and out, making your eyes look bigger, brighter, and more awake.
What to look for?
Wand
A good mascara for straight eyelashes should have a curved wand that follows the natural shape of your eye. These wands grab every lash and push them upwards as you apply, helping to create and hold that curl. Bristles that vary in length can also separate and lift lashes more evenly from root to tip, making for the best mascara for length and curl in one.
Formula
The best eyelash curling mascara is lightweight yet buildable, so it won’t weigh your lashes down. It should also have a flexible hold to set the curl without making lashes stiff or crunchy. Waterproof or water-resistant formulas tend to hold curl better throughout the day.
How to apply a lash curling mascara for straight lashes
- Start with clean, dry lashes.
- Use an eyelash curler. Gently clamp near the base of your lashes, wait a few seconds and carefully release. For an extra boost, you can warm the curler with a hairdryer for a few seconds (always test the temperature first before letting it touch your eye!).
- Now it’s time to apply. Starting at the base of your lashline, wiggle the mascara wand as you sweep upward. This helps lift and separate the lashes.
- Press the curved wand gently into the lashes for a few seconds before moving on.
- Add a second coat while the first is still slightly damp to avoid clumps.
- Use a lash comb. Separate any lashes that stick together for a clean, lifted look.
- At the end of the day, don’t forget to remove your mascara gently and thoroughly with an eye makeup remover.
