The super curl is one of those newer generation curlers that try to eliminate the pinching of traditional curlers with a horizontal crimper design. Although I’m not a fan of plastic eyelash curlers, I do like how the silicone crimper pad is rounded as this helps get a nice curl. Also, unlike other curlers that only come with one replacement pad or force you to get a new curler when the pad cracks, this one comes with three refill pads. Also, even though it is made of plastic, the Tweezerman Super Curl can be heated with your blow dryer.
The Super Curl is also a wide curler which is great for women with large or wide eyes. I have smaller eyes and like using smaller curlers, but this wasn’t a problem with the Super Curl. There were just areas at the edges that my lashes didn’t fit into, no big deal. In the interest of thoroughness, I asked my friend Abby who does have large eyes to give the Super Curl a try. She liked how it got all her lashes in one go without too much fuss and fiddling around. She did add that the plastic in front of the crimper kind of blocked her view and she couldn’t see if her lashes were all in the curler. Besides this, the Super Curl did a great job and the curls were nice and rounded and lasted the rest of the day.
Is the Tweezerman Super Curl a good buy? Yes. Is it spectacular? Not unless you have large eyes and need an extra large curler.

Sephora brand products are budget versions of expensive name brands. Sometimes they get it just right and outperform the big names. Other times, they crash and sink. I find this to be true with their beauty tools more than their makeup. This mini heated lash curler is no exception.
Similar to the Panasonic heated eyelash curler and the Japonesque heated mini eyelash curler, this Sephora lash curler looks like a mascara wand and works by winding your lashes around a heated iron. Unfortunately, the Sephora curler failed to heat enough to have any effect on my lashes. Even after a minute, my curler was barely warm. Not only that, it’s made with extremely cheap plastic with a hollow body that feels like it could fall apart at any moment.
Even though Sephora’s heated curler failed to curl my lashes, that’s not to say all heated wand lash curlers are a failure. The Japonesque heated mini lash curler heats up fast and curls my lashes very well. Plus it’s only $4 more than this Sephora curler.

I found the Ardell heated lash curler at my grocery store and since it was just $5 I figured why not try it. The Ardell curler uses 2 AAA batteries to power it’s heater which means it’s larger and heavier than most heated lash curlers. However, I guess 2 batteries is better than 1 since this curler heats up faster and gets hotter than most heated eyelash curlers.
While the crimper doesn’t press down too hard, the heat is enough to get my lashes to stay curled. To get a tighter curl I had to use my fingers to push my lashes up against the top crimper. While I like using heat to get my lashes to hold their curl, it means I have to curl my lashes longer for about 20 seconds instead of the 5-10 it takes with a normal metal curler. The one complaint I have about this lash curler from Ardell is the size and weight of it, certainly not something I want to carry in my purse.
But at just $4 on Amazon, this lash curler more than outperforms for curlers in the sub $10 price range.

After my last double pad lash curler experience with Artemis Woman Double Curl Heat Lash Curler I was reluctant to try this double pad curler by Japonesque. Yet I was pleasantly surprised as once again Japonesque delivers quality and lives up to it’s reputation of making excellent eyelash curlers.
Instead of just having a pad on the top and bottom of the crimper, the Japonesque double pad curler actually curls your lashes at two places so you’re able to curl your lashes in just one step instead of two like with normal lash curlers. Positioning the double pad curler takes some practice to get it close to your lash line. I figured out that you have to slip your lashes in at a downward angle and then wiggle it close to your eyes to get it close enough to the root of your lashes. Once I got that part down it was a breeze and I got consistently curled lashes. Miraculously I’ve also never gotten pinched by this curler even when I didn’t know how to position it. I’m starting to think that I may be a Japonesque convert.
It’s not the most attractive of curlers or the most slim, but this means it won’t break easily unlike scissor type plastic curlers. The lever handle also locks into place so you won’t accidentally snap it off when you toss it in your purse. It’s also a great price at Amazon, just $13 which is much cheaper than bulky metal curlers that can cost $20 or more.

Shu Uemura’s classic eyelash curler now comes in a smaller version so curling your lashes in sections is easier than ever. This mini curler is similar to the Zhen detail lash curler but even better. Unlike the Zhen, this is completely made of metal which means it’s going to last longer and will be less likely to bend out of shape and shift out of alignment.
While these types of mini eyelash curlers won’t crimp all your lashes at once, it’s great for targeting problem areas that need to be crimped more than other lash areas. For me, it’s my center lashes that need to be curled 3 or 4 times while my corner lashes are always curled. Using a large curler would mean that while my center lashes are curled just right, my corner lashes get bent into odd angles. The Shu Uemura mini lash curler eliminates this problem.
The Shu Uemura mini eyelash curler is good for difficult to curl lashes, Asian eyes, and short straight lashes.

We’ve been looking at more expensive brand name curlers such as Japonesque Go Curl, Shiseido The Makeup, and Shu Uemura Lash Curler, but I think it’s time we reviewed a regular brand lash curler you can buy at your local drugstore.
That’s why today we are going to review the Revlon series of eyelash curlers. This includes the professional, expert effect, cushion grip, and beauty shapers lash curlers. First off, there’s a stigma that regular brand curlers are flimsy and bend easily. While the Revlons are not as smooth, there are a few rough spots and rough corners, or nicely finished as the more expensive brands, they are sturdy and can withstand the pressure of squeezing hard to curl your lashes. There are two replacement pads included with each curler and at first it looked like you had to buy a new curler once you ran out of the two included. However, through further research, I found out that you just have to call Revlon customer service and they’ll send out refill pads for free! Here’s their customer service number 1-800-473-8566. Their hours are M-F, 8AM – 6PM EST.
So far, Revlon gets 5 stars based on customer service and value, but how well do they curl your lashes? My biggest complaint with these curlers is that they are designed more for Caucasian eyes with a deeply curved crimper. If you have deeper set round eyes, then these will fit well and let you curl close to your lash line. For Asian girls like me, they’re much too curved to catch my center lashes and end up pinching my eyes at the edges. Not only is the crimper deeply curved, it is also very large, almost double the size of my eyes! Again, this will be a good curler for those of you who have trouble with smaller curlers because these are made to fit large or wide round eyes. I did manage to curl my outer lashes with these curlers and didn’t really like the way they curled. It may be because the curlers didn’t fit my eyes very well or because the curler pad is harder than those on the more expensive brands, but it seemed like they bent my lashes more than curled them.
So I would say that Revlon curlers are a good value if you take them for what they are. A value brand that’s a good work horse curler for most women. If you fit into their customer demographics, then they are definitely a good buy especially with the free refill pads. However, if you have small eyes, or flat eyes like most Asian girls, I’d say you should skip this and take a look at specially designed curlers like Shiseido The Makeup Lash Curler or Shu Uemura curler.

Trish McEvoy mascara’s are really great and based on this I expected great results from her eyelash curler. The first thing I noticed is the extreme curve of the curler. While I’m sure this is a deliberate design to get those hard to curl lashes at the corners of your eyes, it makes this curler unusable for girls with flatter eyes like me. Unable to complete this review, I once again grabbed my friend Abby who has the large round eyes that this lash curler was designed for.
The Trish McEvoy did a great job of getting all of Abby’s lashes evenly and close to the lash line. She curled her lashes before applying Diorshow mascara. Her lashes stayed curled all day and according to Abby, this is the greatest f*ing curler she’s ever used. She then proceeded to snatch it out of my hands and take it home with her. I guess that’s a glowing endorsement from her.
So if you have deep set eyes that require large lash curlers, you might think the Trish McEvoy lash curler is the greatest f*ing curler you’ve ever used too.

I really like precision lash curlers because they allow you to curl your lashes in sections rather than all at once. This lets me curl just the sections that really need it and it eliminates pinching due to ill fitting curlers. I really like how the precision lash curler can give different amounts of curl to each area of your lashes. I can do my center eyelashes in three or four sections because they’re the straightest and hardest to curl. While my outer lashes are naturally curled and just need a quick squeeze. I didn’t experience any pinching and the curler was easy to position and move along my lash line.
There’s two versions of the Japonesque precision lash curler. A plastic one and a more traditional metal one. While there’s not much difference between the two, the metal precision curler is of course the more sturdy and better built of the two. I really don’t know why anybody would prefer the plastic version since it costs more than the metal version and tends to warp and bend over time. If you want a long lasting curler that will last for years, go for the metal version.

I was going to skip this curler as it looked like every other heated lash curler out there. That was until I saw that it changes colors to tell you when the pads have heated up and are ready to use. Neat! I’m a sucker for cool color changing things.
Besides being a pretty pink color, this is actually an important feature that should be included in all heated curlers. One of the biggest complaints that heated curlers don’t work are because people don’t wait long enough for the pads to heat up. Since heated curlers don’t crimp your lashes as hard as normal eyelash curlers, you absolutely must let them get hot enough for the curl to stick.
In theory, this curler is a great idea. However, I really didn’t like how the crimper was designed. There’s a pad on both the top and bottom parts which means you apply less pressure to your lashes. It also means that you don’t get a good curl no matter how long you wait or how hard you press. Also, this feels flimsy and cheap. Unlike the Panasonic heated curlers, this one feels light and hollow, like it could break at the slightest drop or pressure. Other users seem to agree and say their Artemis curlers died after several months.
For this price, you could get a curler that’s built to last like this Japonesque heated mini curler, or one of the Panasonic heated eyelash curlers.

Laura Mercier’s eyelash curler is another matchbook sized curler like the Go-Curl mini curler by Japonesque. Unlike other plastic curlers, which I hate, these square curlers get my seal of approval. they’re small enough that there’s no long flimsy parts sticking out which can get snapped or crack easily. I find mini curlers like the Laura Mercier curler to be a great compact curler that you can stick in your purse and have with you at all times.
The one disadvantage about these types of curlers is that you can’t really see if all your lashes are in the crimper. This may be problematic if you have unruly lashes that tend to stick out in all directions. Otherwise, I find this lash curler to be great for curling your lashes just right. It doesn’t bend or pull your lashes out and doesn’t pinch your skin. Unfortunately, the body of the curler sticks out a bit so it is hard to get it flush with your eyelid and curl close to your lash line. A minor complaint all things considered.
While this lash curler by Laura Mercier is excellent, I still prefer the Japonesque Go-Curl because it’s actually $5 cheaper than Laura Mercier and it lets you see if your lashes are all in the right place before you curl them.
