JAPONESQUEGo Curl Travel Eyelash Curler, Perfect for On The Go Use, with Extra Soft, Gentle Lash Pad

These little eyelash curlers are perfect for travel, although I use mine at home too. They make great little gifts! They are much better that big clumsy metal eyelash curlers!

This has been my go-to curler for everyday use. I have tried the old school metal ones and they don't curl like this one. I even bought a $3.99 version of this and it didn't curl. I learned my lesson and I keep using the Japonesque curler.

I actually like this more than my big metal curlers.

First let me say that this eyelash curler is fairly difficult to learn how to use. If you don't have a lot of time to spend on your eyelashes and you're simply looking for a little boost before your mascara, I don't think this curler is for you.However if you're like me and your eyes are the main focus of your makeup routine, this is a wonderful tool to have in your kit. I will try my best to describe this curler, but I'm having a hard time thinking of descriptions for what I want to say so bear with me.First, this is not a tool that will give your lashes a gentle curve. It is one of those that "kinks" your lashes straight upwards. This can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how skillfully you use it. If you place it precisely at the base of your lashes, it will kink them straight up from the base and you will have sky high lashes that stay all day! However if you don't get it at the base, you will have a visible kink in your lashes that just makes them look weird, especially from the side view. I find that I get the best results if I use my normal Revlon curler to put some curl in the top portion of my lashes and then use the Japonesque at the base afterward.When I do this, I feel like I am wearing false eyelashes and it seriously lasts until I take a shower the next morning! Also, because of how thin the top portion of the curler is, you can use the curler after you apply mascara (for a more dramatic look) and it won't squish a flat line of mascara like a normal curler would.On that note, one thing that is different about this curler is the top half of the curler. Instead of being smooth and rounded like a normal metal curler, this is wedge shaped...it is almost to the point of being sharp.Another thing that is different is that the edges are open. This way not only does it get every lash all the way out to the edges of your eyelids, but you also can get to the very base of your lashes without pinching the skin in the corners of your eyes.One thing I don't like though...how open the curler appears in the picture is as open as it goes. Normal curlers will open up much wider. To use this one, it takes practice to line up the small opening exactly with your lashline...I hope this makes sense. Another thing that adds to this difficulty is that the opening is blocked by a clear plastic piece that is hard to see in the picture. But it blocks your view while you are trying to line up the curler. Again hard to describe but I hope I make some sense.All in all I am very happy with this curler because I am now able to stop using false eyelashes and I have dramatic lash height that lasts until I wash it out.The con is that it did take about a week of practicing with it to get the technique down perfectly.

Portable and gets closer toMy upper lash line.

Loved the small design but sadly already broke after a couple months

I like it, made well

Not for all eye shapes! Does nothing for mine! It is not curved/concave enough (it’s almost straight across). With other lash curlers I get perfect results in seconds. With this thing it takes way too long to go around my eyelid to curl all my lashes. And even then it’s not great results. Gonna have to pass on this one.
