To make eyelashes look longer and make your eyes look wider, curl your eyelashes. This is probably the simplest beauty tip for longer and more luscious lashes that there is.

Eyelash curlers come in plastic and metal. There’s no big price difference, so get the metal curler. For the best results, heat the eyelash curler for a few seconds prior to use. You can use your blowdryer to warm up the eyelash curler before curling your lashes. Don’t let it get too hot or you could burn yourself. Apply mascara after curling, not before. Combing the lashes as your final step will then separate and add definition. No clumps and lashes that are elegant and lush for only a few dollars and a couple of minutes investment.

If you prefer there are heated eyelash curlers on the market that sell for between $10 and $30. These generally run on batteries and have ready lights to tell you when they are warm enough for use. A good eyelash curler will get just warm enough to curl your lashes but not feel hot to the touch.

I found this eyelash curling set, complete with clear gel mascara and brush at QVC for under $20.
