Eyelash curlers curl eyelashes and prepare them for applying mascara. Optically enlarges the eye. Use the curlers on clean lashes without mascara. Open the forceps and squeeze the eyelashes at the roots for 10 seconds. Gently warming the curlers with a hair dryer before use will enhance the effect of curling the eyelashes. The removable rings in the handle serve to reduce the perimeter of the attachment for the fingers.
