Manicare Eyelash Curler Review

I've been using a $2 shop eyelash curler with a spring for the last three years (I know, the rubber was getting a bit icky, so super grateful for this review product that came just in time!). Eyelash curlers are indispensable to me, especially since I have stick straight Asian eyelashes. I'm not sure if it's because of that that I had trouble with this eyelash curler at first. Finally, I figured out that I needed to clamp down really hard and not as lightly as the instructions state. Again, this might be because I have stick straight eyelashes as I notice a lot of other reviews of this curler are positive. I think spring eyelash curlers have a lot more tension and put a lot more curl into your lashes without as much hand effort. I have rather large eyes for an Asian, but the eyelash curler is slightly too deeply curved for me in my opinion. The eyelash curler works fine, but the RRP is rather steep when I can get one for a quarter of the price that works even better. However, I will note that the eyelash curler is way better for storage compared to other ones I've tried as even when closed the rubber pad doesn't bite into the upper metal part that goes on your upper eyelid, thus damaging the rubber pad. If your lashes are super straight or your eyes are a bit smaller then this might not be the eyelash curler for you.

I’m still wondering what would separate this from any other eyelash curler. Yes I notice A LITTLE difference if I use it on 100% makeup-free face lashes, but not enough to bother to make it part of my daily routine - a good mascara does a better job!

I have naturally straight lashes so I'm always looking for a way to plump these babies up and this was my first experience with an eyelash curler. Appearance wise this is a nice looking curler, simple design nothing that requires a degree to operate, put on lashes , clamp hold for 30 seconds that's it :)

For some reason I really struggled to get this positioned where I wanted I always seemed to pinch my skin or I couldn't quite get it close enough to my eyelash line - perhaps its just me and I didn't really know what I was doing but I didn't find these really worked for my eyes for some reason.

They did definitely provide my lashes with a bit of curl and did make a difference to my mascara routine and the finished look.

Overall all it did do an ok job but it just didn't work that well for me in terms of use.

These were the first eyelash curler I ever purchased. In fact my only one I've ever purchased. My experience with this curler has been enough for me to not re purchase an eyelash curler

The Curler is quite light not made from a heavy material. Bringing this contraption towards your eye is a scary concept! But once you have your lashes between the contraption squeeze the handle together and hope for the best! Pulling away I noticed my lashes indeed had been perfectly curled and looked stunning however I found on the outer side of my lashes they looked like they had gone through a crimper and looked crimped not curled.

My first experience wasn't to bad, however the more I used them I noticed the pining of the skin on my eyelid. Not a fault of the curler but more I had the curler to close to my eyelid so be careful of this. But no matter how often I used the curler I could never get the kink look from the outer eyelashes. They never looked curled like the rest of my eyelashes.

Oh and always, always, always use these before you apply mascara! I in a rush one day forgot to curl my lashes before the mascara and though 'Meh, I'll just curl them anyway' bad, bad, bad idea! See you later eyelashes. I lost a good chunk of the inner of my eyelashes. They just broke off because the mascara had made my lashes brittle.

If these gave me perfect curls everytime I used them I'd give them higher stars. But for me personally I didn't like them too much.

I purchased this eyelash curler in error as I thought it was the same as my old one - it wasn't. I really need to start paying more attention to these things.

This curler doesn't have a built in spring so does a pretty half pie job. The spring that you find in other curlers gives you that extra bit of pressure when curling your lashes to ensure you get the best curl and one that lasts a lot longer.

This is probably fine for beginners, but once you've tried one with a spring in it this one just doesn't cut the mustard!

Naturally I have incredibly straight lashes, it's only been after using lash serum for a period of time they have now achieved a slight wave yay. Although in the past I have completely neglected my Manicare Eyelash Curler as a result of it really not doing much for me, I had hoped with my newly-improved lashes I could finally put it to good use.

The Manicare curler is very basic in design, a straightforward metal eyelash curler with a removable rubber pad, that you apply close to your lashes and squeeze for about 30 seconds. Sounds simple enough right? Unfortunately almost every time I attempt to use it, I find myself pinching my delicate eye skin! I find the shape difficult to get close to my lashline without pinching my skin. Perhaps it's just the shape of my eyes, but I end up often holding it just slightly further down the lash. Either way my lashes never seem to achieve a nice, open curl, despite holding it for a minimum of 30 seconds. Sometimes I get a wonky, kinked lash look which is amplified by mascara, other times a slight wave which just wasn't worth the pain.

If someone more patient with naturally more wavy lashes wanted an affordable curler I may recommend it if nothing in a similar price range around, but I've now regulated mine firmly to the depths of my bathroom cupboard.

I don't like this curler much at all. I curl my eyelashes every time I apply mascara as I unfortunately didn't get blessed with beautiful curly ones, and out of all of the curlers I've tried this Manicare is the worst. I mean I'd use it if I had nothing else (gasp!) but it definitely wouldn't be my first choice..or second..or third..or ..ok you get it!

I dunno if its just because I'm a bit gammy, but I hated this contraption. It was awkward to use, the rubber bits fell off it all the time and instead of curling my lashes it just kinda bent them. I've got pretty good lashes anyway so I find that a couple of coats of mascara usually do the trick. I won't be trying out this torture device again anytime soon!

This eyelash curler just doesnt seem to work well on my eyes at all, I can't get it to work! I do already have very curly lashes and very curved eyes so I guess it is not made for me and nor do I really need it. (I received it in a beauty box so I thought I would give it a go)
