Nothing makes you look more instantly fresh and awake like freshly curled lashes. Wander around backstage at fashion week and it’s the number one tool that makeup artists and (chronically fatigued) models swear by, making peepers look bigger and brighter at the simple squeeze of a clamp. But as with most beauty equipment, it really is a case of you get what you pay for. Invest in a high quality pair of curlers and they’ll last for years without any damage occurring, to them or your lashes.

Remember to always curl your lashes before you apply mascara to avoid eyelash breakage. If you’re looking for a new pair of curlers, these six options will literally open your eyes to a new breed of beauty tool.
