Japanese Cosmetic Line, Shu Uemera, is very well known for their Eye Lash Curler which is more versatile than most curlers. Shu's Eye Lash Curler has a wide base which makes it easy to curl almost any set of eyes. As a makeup artist I have run into many situations when my MAC Eye Lash Curler did not fit very well when trying to curl a client's lashes.
I have been using a Shu Uemera Eye Lash Curler for years now, both personally and professionally and cannot say enough wonderful things about. Yes... an eye lash curler really does make a huge difference, especially a good one. When I curl a client's eye lashes for the first time they are shocked at how their eyes appear bigger and more open. I personally look forward to curling my eye lashes and don't feel finished if I don't.
During the Holiday Season Shu Uemera releases their creme de la creme of curlers, the 24K Gold Plated Eye Lash Curler. Madonna owns one and swears by it! I am sure that her personal makeup artist, Gina Brooke (one of my biggest inspirations!), made her become hooked!
Visit http://www.shuuemera-usa.com/ to purchase the infamous eye lash curler. Sephora no longer sells Shu Uemera because Shu is no longer being sold in the USA. Shu Uemera will only be sold in Japan:(
Another product from Shu that has come in handy many times is the Mini Eye Lash Curler, which I use on women with very small eyes or even Asian women.
Eye Lash Curling Tips:
1. Curl your eye lashes not just once, but pump your curler at least 2-3 times to ensure a long lasting curl.
2. You can curl your eye lashes before or mascara. I have heard many horror stories about women curling their eyelashes after applying mascara and somehow pulling out their eye lashes. I personally curl my lashes after my mascara is on and dry because my lashes have even more lift and my eyes look more open. I have never had any problems, but please be careful!!
3. Replace the silicone pad/ insert in the base of the eye lashe curler so your lashes have a nice and gentle curl. A damaged or missing silicone pad/ insert can leave your eye lashes with damage if you are not careful.
4. Clean your eye lash curler with rubbing alcohol to remove makeup and bacteria. I clean my curler in my kit with every use, but clean my own about once a week or so. I have noticed that since I do curl my eye lashes after applying mascara there is quite a bit of product left on my curler. Your eye lashes may stick to that product and can pull them out or cause other issues.

ReplyDeleteHi! Thank you so much!! I no longer have access to my previous youtube channel (MakeupEnvy). I have tried for months to have the problem resolved, but I have had no luck. I have started a new youtube channel and have one video so far. http://www.youtube.com/danicajardien

Hi Danica, Elf also has a mini eyelash curler and I have been tempted to try that - have you personally tried the Elf version? :)
ReplyDelete@ Jennif3rC Hi! No, I have not tried the E.L.F. brand, but I personally love the Shu Uemera brand!
