Shiseido Eyelash Curler: Achieve Your Best Lashes Yet

Mastering the art of perfect lashes with your Shiseido Eyelash Curler

Eyelashes that pop begin at the pre-mascara stage. Here is our comprehensive guide to eyelash curling techniques that will help you maximise your mascara’s full potential. And your eyes.

Prepare your lashes for curling

The first step in getting the perfect curl is to prep your lashes. Cleanse away any eye makeup residue and dry your lashes thoroughly. Expert eyelash care tip: don’t try to curl lashes until you are sure they are 100% dry.

A question that comes up often is, ‘what comes first, eyelash curler or mascara?’ The definitive answer: curl first, then apply mascara. Otherwise, delicate lashes can break, mascara will stick to the curler (making it hard to clean), and your mascara can flake around – and into – your eyes.

Power up your makeup routine with these eyelash curling techniques that will give you a precise curl and an excellent base for mascara.

Step-by-step guide to curling your lashes

Open the curler and apply it at the base of your upper lashes. The Shiseido Eyelash Curler's edge-free design helps you get this close to your lash base without nipping your skin. Gently squeeze down on your lashes. Open it, move the tool outward to the middle of your lashes, and squeeze again. Release the curler and pump one last time near the tips of your lashes.

Tips for achieving long-lasting curl

Longer-lasting lift and curl come from pumping. One squeeze at each stage of your lashes is good. Squeezing gently, re-clamping, pumping again, then moving up your lashes and repeating can work even better. Go slowly and practise this ‘pump and hold’ technique for smooth, all-day curl. Replace your mascara regularly, too. Fresh mascara holds curl longer and delivers that eye-opening performance you are after.

Taking care of your Shiseido Eyelash Curler

Eyelash curler maintenance is all about being consistent. Make it part of your daily lash curling ritual.

Cleaning your curler

Your eyelash curler, as well as the silicone pads, can be wipe clean with a tissue or a dry cloth between uses. Remove the pad if you feel like your tool needs a periodic wash in soapy water. Rinse well and dry all parts thoroughly.



When to replace the pad or the curler

Each Shiseido Eyelash Curler comes with a replacement eyelash curler refill cushion for hygiene and pro performance. Simply replace the pad once it starts to have less rebound or appears flatter for optimum performance.

We've got answers to the questions that come up the most



Do eyelash curlers damage eyelashes?

You can use your eyelash curler every day without damaging your eyelashes. Its flexible, silicone rubber pads are gentle. Just make sure your eyelashes and your curler are clean and dry, only apply mascara after lashes are curled, and pump your lashes, never pull on them.  

Should I heat my eyelash curler ?

A gentle heat can maximise the curling effect on your lashes, as a heated curler can do with your hair. However, you should not warm your eyelash curler to avoid damaging it. Be confident: all our tips will be enough to assure you a perfect eyelash look.
