Heated Eyelash Curler REVIEW + DEMO! | LeighAnnSays 

3:26 is where she FINALLY uses it.

I got a Sephora heated eyelash curler as a gift with a purchase and it's pretty much identical to this one. I only use waterproof mascara, because my lashes will not stay curled otherwise. I have used the heated curler after applying mascara and I've actually been quite satisfied with the results, and the curl actually stayed put very nicely. I find that it gives a much better result if you use it after mascara, or at least after the first coat. And the Sephora one heats nicely after about a minute and it takes very little time to curl the lashes. It definitely takes me less time than it does with a traditional eyelash curler.

My heated eyelash curler involves a regular eyelash curler and a lighter.

It slightly melts the mascara and then you can push the lashes up. That's how I use mine and it looks pretty. You can clean it with an alcohol wipe thing.

Walmart has one in the nail implement section for $8 if anyone wants to try it. I was all excited with the concept, but had the same results. Worked okay but not great. It does work better if it has more time to heat up (about a minute or so). The Walmart one didn't have a brand on it and I don't have the packaging anymore. One bonus was that putting the cap on turns the curler off so you don't accidentally kill the battery. Thanks for the review!

Agreed. I have a heated lash curler in another brand (and I think they're basically all the same), but yeah, on its own, it doesn't curl enough at all. When I do use it (which is rare because I don't want to go through the extra steps), I use a traditional curler first, and then run the heated curler through my lashes to heat set the curl and kind of smooth out the kinks. I've tried using the heated curler after mascara and I don't recommend it, because the heat ends up melting your mascara and makes everything messy.

I bought one of these heated eyelash curlers a month ago and I agree, they don't give the curl we all want. Until someone invents something better that actually works, I will stick with the regular curler. I have actually gotten great results from setting the curler on my curling iron for about 20 seconds (hold the top metal edge of the eyelash curler to the barrel of the iron), getting it hot but not hot enough to burn my eyelids off, lol. This has given me the best curl I've ever had so far, and of course that waterproof mascara is also important, it has the staying power regular mascara doesn't.

They make "traditional" curlers that are heated as well, with those, you don't have to clamp down as hard on your lashes because the heat helps it curl easier (thus avoiding the harsh un-natural looking curl) Try one like that and I bet you will like it.

Do it this way: curl with regularly curler and then use waterproof mascara. Use the heater curler by starting at the root and wiggling it back and forth before moving it to the tips of your lashes. Wiggling it allows the lashes to get in between the guard and be heated. The heated curler really helps to get the outside lashes curled when the regular curler can't reach them. I always finish off with another coat of mascara. My heated curler has never been clumpy doing it this way. (I learned this from a pro makeup artist video on youtube) Hope it helps!

Hey Leighann! I love your videos! Here's a tip I found on Pinterest! Before curling your lashes heat up your eyelash curler with a hair dryer for a few seconds (make sure you wait a second or touch it to make sure it's not burning hot before putting it right to your face--trust!!!!) I found that works great for me it makes the lashes curl faster and hold the curl for longer. I also curl my lashes a few times so they aren't like L they're more like C shaped... do you know what I mean? Like not so blunt and straight and kinked they're more curved and natural looking I guess. I start right at the base of the lash and curl there the most then work my way to the ends of the lashes curling as I go holding it for less time. I wear glasses so my lashes touch my glasses if I don't curl them, it's super annoying. Anyway just wanted to share my tips with you! I love watching your videos you're so entertaining I love it haha keep it up girl! -Ariel

I just use my blow dryer to heat my lash curler. Then press my fingers on it till it cools a bit before I use it. I have never burned myself and it works amazing.

My eyelashes are pin straight and point downward, so I was very intrigued about using a heated eyelash curler. I ordered one from Amazon that cost about $7.00 This is how I use mine with great results: 1. I curl my bare lashes with a regular eyelash curler 2. I use my favorite mascara and wait for it to dry 3. I then use a waterproof mascara to help hold the curl over my regular mascara 4. Once the waterproof mascara has dried, I then use my heated eyelash curler and go over every lash. For me it works great. Yes a tiny bit of mascara might melt off onto the heater, but I just wipe it off with an alcohol pad before I put it away. I love my results and it lasts a long time.

Have you ever used a beauty product that scared you at first??

You should try it after using mascara. I even use it with waterproof mascara and it works. I typically curl with a regular eyelash curler, apply waterproof mascara and then use my heated eyelash curler. Makes my curl even better and hold really long!

Ughh I hate when I snag my lid aha. It's usually when I'm basically half asleep though. This looks pretty cool but how good is heat on your eyelashes?

I use a regular eyelash curler and a blow dryer! Works miracles!!

I got one at Walmart (forgot what brand) it was less than $10. I found it works best with waterproof mascara first, curling as it is drying. I also turn the wand --not "combing". As for cleaning I use an old eyebrow brush. I love mine and have been using it for about 2 years now.

I have found that if breath on my lash curler or heat it up just a bit with a blow dryer, the result is much better. I guess it's the heat they were after. I had the same problem with like an edge on the lashes before I started doing this and it really works! Try it! :)

There is another type of heated eyelash curler that is available that looks like a traditional eyelash curler but is heated. They are amazing. I had one for years and it did wonders for my eye lashes. Sadly on my last trip, the battery in it leaked and I had to trash it. I am planning on buying another one soon. I find them at stores that sell Asian beauty products. It might help you.

I saw somewhere forever ago to warm up your eyelash curler (just a little) with blow dryer. Works great!!!

When you said waterproof mascara changed your life 😂 I totally relate! and had the same reaction ❤️ = I subscribed

Use it after mascara. The mascara helps to lock in the curl more strongly. When you're mid lash or where you want the curl to be, hold the heated curler with the lashes pushed up for a few seconds longer and then comb through to tips. Just don't use this with tubing mascaras as the heat melts the mascara. The Korean versions of this product tend to have an open coil so it's a little scary when you first try but lashes are exposed to more heat so it curls even more effectively than this version.

I've heard from a few people who have/had the Dior heated lash curler that it works much better after putting your mascara on... which I guess it is good that it works for them, but it does seem to melt the mascara so maybe that is better for people who like clumpier lashes? No idea

I see a HUGE difference in your other videos you can tell that you curl your lashes but in this they look soooo much better!(:

I like using the traditional curler then the heated eyelash curler.also I use it after mascara(I use waterproof) and they are so long. It doesn't get gross because when it dries it falls out.

I've never curled my eyelashes 😱 I feel like I'm missing out on not doing so. Will try it soon 😊 hope you have had a great day!

Have you tried just using a hair dryer and warming up a regular curler for a few seconds before use? I haven't, but I've heard it works well

It works great when you use mascara first. The mascara actually then works like a setting spray. The mascara does get inside the grooves, but it comes right off using a makeup wipe. Then you're not stuck using waterproof mascara. I have lashes that are like yours, no curl at all whatsoever.

My eyelashes are just like yours! I bought a heated curler about 3 months ago and it has just set in my drawer because I didn't feel like it gave me enough curl. Thanks for the idea of using the traditional curler with the heated one! I'm excited to try that since I already have both!!!

I have your same lashes so I always get ultra excited for your lash product reviews! I too have snagged my lid in an eyelash curler a time or two haha

A friend of mine sort of turns her traditional eyelash curler into a heated one by blowing on it. She just uses the heat of her breath to warm it. Not sure if that makes sense but it seems to work for her!

You should try the black Shiseido eyelash curler. I have lashes exactly like yours and have tried the Shu Uemura, Tarte, and every kind of drugstore eyelash curler. I was recommended to try the Shiseido one, and it's definitely the best one I have ever tried.

The wand works better if you roll it in toward your eyelid slightly as you comb through your lashes. If you would like more curl at the tips just roll the wand toward your eyelid a bit more and press down slightly.

I have a heated lash curler that looks and acts like a traditional curler, but less of a curve than traditional lash curlers. I love it.

I have a heated lash curler from Sephora. It melts most mascaras I use it with, BUT if I use after applying Loreal Carbon Black Waterproof Mascara it curls without removing the mascara. Also, have you ever tried placing a traditional curler at the base of your lashes and slowly pulling down?

I've got heated eyelash curler for a few years and I love it :) I ended up using it the same as you along with the regular curler. The regular curler lifts the eyelashes up and the heated one creates very nice natural curl :) that's the only way my eyelashes stay curled for the whole day because if I used only the traditional curler, even the waterproof mascara doesn't help and the lashes fall a bit at the end of the day

I have straight lashes even with the trick of curling and using waterproof mascara. So I started using a heated lash curler. Before didn't work for me. So I curl and use waterproof still then use the heater one and it hold like a pro!

Have you ever used a spoon to curl your lashes? Mine are similar to yours and I've never liked the angled look the traditional eyelash curler gives. There's probably a few different ways to use the spoon, I've seen a few on RU-vid. It's an old school tip, but maybe you can check it out. It leaves my lashes with a very upright and rounded curl. And yes, waterproof is a MUST! High-5 to that!

I seriously just watch your videos because i love your personality. :)

My hubs got me one for Christmas and it didn't work out well for me either. I feel like it didn't get warm enough. I think if like to take it back out and try it with a regular curler like you did.

have you ever tried heating the traditional eyelash curler with your hair dryer? i've done it once and it really works. for my lashes it was just too much, i was trying the water proof mascara, and using it with the eyelash curler itself was enough, but again, my lashes are regular lashes, idk if it is understandable. but if you hold you hair dryer for 3 seconds onto the eyelash curler, then wait just 3 more seconds to use it (i would recommend to use it not too close to the eyelid, just because it can be hot or it can turn out like a 90 degree lash, not at all natural which i'm sure is not what you're looking for) leave it for not long time, because the heat itself will do the work and take it out, the outcome is truly amazing. hope you try it and tell me how it went! love your videos love yamila

Have you tried heating up your regular lash curler either with a hair dryer or on the radiator? That works so well for me and I have very similar downwards pointing eyelashes to you.

One of my old floormates in college heated her traditional eyelash curler with a hairdryer and got crazy curled lashes every day! Maybe give that a try?

I don't know if this will help, but I use a really unconventional method to curl my lashes because I hate the 90° angle that I get with the curlers. I use a spoon and get really naturally curled lashes just focusing in the base of the lashes to lift them up. It might sound crazy, but it has worked for me. Have you tried it yet?? BTW love your videos!!

I have a Panasonic one, and use it after mascara. It separates any clumps and strengthens the curl of my lashes that way. Afterwards I just wipe it with a cotton pad soaked in alcohol and all the mascara residues are off. Also mine has a colored indicator showing that it's on and heated enough (or not). Like you said, all these extra steps are time-consuming so I don't use it everyday, but for special occasions, it does work for me. :-)

Hey. My mom has a heated curler by Phillips I believe. Her lashes are kinda like yours... she exagerates it and says hers are curled downward. I've used that curler and it's AWESOME. It works just like regular one but with a heated siliconey thang :D

I place my eye lash curler under warm water, dry, then curl. Then I use several coats of clear mascara then my black mascara and voila beautiful long curled lashes. Works well

My eyelash life changed because of you!!! Lol the rocket in waterproof+eyelash curler=GREATNESS thank ya :)

Use the Avon heated curler, it has the original design of a nonheated curler, but it's heated lol. I looove it.

I use a lighter to warm up my eyelash curler... Of course u have to let it cool a bit,but it works so gooooood!

I'm so glad I have naturally curled eyelashes because my friend has to curl hers and one day the rubber bit in the curlers snapped and it cut her eyelashes really short, luckily they grew back but it's just terrified me for using eyelash curlers.

I have the same issue my eyelashes... Super straight and only curl with the water proof mascara... But what helps me avoid the 90 degree lashes as you describe so well is my japonesque eyelash curler. The plastic one not, the traditional type. It's amazing!!! A little pricey but soooo worth it and last forever... And if you loose the little pad japonesque will mail you a new one for free off their website... I Would soooo recommend it for your type of lashes... You will love it!! Maybe trade in the heated one for it :)

It actually works best if you use it after you put on waterproof mascara. I saw one used first in a Robert Jones RU-vid video and have had mine for a couple of years (about $10 on Amazon). Only takes about 15-20 seconds per eye. Love it.

heated lash curlers work a lot better if used after mascara. It melts the mascara and it then sets super curly as it cools. It takes less time and holds really well.

i usually just heat my eyelash curler with the blow dryer for a few seconds and it works really well.

Also, they go through batteries very quickly. Plus, at least with BareMinerals Lash Domination, it melts the mascara right off. That was a surprise for me to suddenly have no mascara on.~Carla

I heard the trick about heating your regular eyelash curler up with a hairdryer for the same heated eyelash curler effect a while ago and when I tried it, I definitely burned my eyelids.... this seems so much more intelligent!

I actually put my hairdryer over my normal eyelash curler to heat it up a bit, works a treat!

I have sad eyelashes as well but I actually "heat" up my traditional eyelash curler with a blow dryer/flat iron just enough so that I get the nice curl to my lashes. It works really well.

you should really try it after your mascara is on, i used to have this curler and it looks sooo amazing!

I had one of these, I don't remember where I got it. Worst thing ever. They do make a heated crimp style lash curler. Try one of those next time!

Hi leighann! Have you heard of Ardell Heated Eyelash Curler.Its like a traditional lash curler but with the added heat.Which I love,an it's trained my lashes to stay curled.I bought mine on sale at Fred Meyers for $4.99.I too had sad lashes that were bone straight.But 2 years with my heated lash curler and oh boy! My lashes are curled by their own and every time I use it I have thee most awesome lashes that lasts all day long.

Your lashes are straight, like mine, but yours look like they're better at holding a curl. Mine literally will not hold a curl whatsoever and I've tried your trick with the Rocket mascara and the they're real mascara. Didn't work. I HAVE to curl my lashes after I put mascara on or my lashes will just drop down straight again! :(

You should try a lash perm. Yeah it's a thing, lol. Looks pretty cool.

But I saw this thing is u get a regular eye lash curler and tak a hair dryer on warmer and war m up the eyelash curler and it curls them a lot better

Your lashes do look much more natural in this video! I wonder if there are any other products like this one with better results? And instructions lol

I find when I've used a heated lash curler (different brand to yours) the curl has stayed alllll day which is what I loved the most. My lashes are straight but not as straight as yours so it didn't take me long to create a good curly curl either, didn't have to use another lash curler or they'd be curling back on themselves haha

YOU NEED TO USE IT WITH MASCARA OF ANY KIND ALREADY APPLIED. THATS KIND OF THE POINT. I can tell you as a makeup artist that it is an awesome product. When used with mascara, it ever so slightly melts the mascara as it curls and then within seconds the mascara dries, HOLDING THE CURL BETTER. I love you Leighann, but don't just say that something wont ever work if you haven't tried it. Do it full out. This product can also be easily cleaned with a disposable mascara spoolie.

I think the directions are on the back of the box, not very detailed, but they are there. Also, the brush works best after applying a coat of mascara. If you use it on bare lashes, you really won't see results. I used it after one coat of mascara and saw very good results.

I love my heated eye lash curler. I use it before and after mascara.

What kind of waterproof mascara do you use? I've struggled to find one that is really waterproof. Many mascaras claim to be waterproof, but the minute I put it on, my lashes lose the curl. Help!

Your lashes look insanely AMAZING in this video!! Like even if I didn't see what this video was about I would comment on how good your lashes look.

Where did you get your lotus flower necklace? Its so pretty !:)

I love watching your videos, but wish you would list in the description area what makeup you are wearing. I always love your lip colors!

I have lashes like yours that don't stay curled I also don't use waterproof mascara but I should try it. What I do different to get a curl to my lashes is heat up my lash curler with a blow dryer I of course test the temperature before putting it to my eye but it's like the same concept as the heated lash curler maybe you could try that and then the waterproof mascara will hold it:) loved the review now I'm gonna try waterproof mascara with my technique!

should hold at the root (as close as possible without burning)

Thanks for your honesty. I have used my blow dryer on my regular eyelash curler. It works too.

Ooh, what eyeshadow are you wearing across your lid ? I would probably manage to burn my eye ball or something. As for a frightening beauty product ? Probably the traditional eye lash curler or the first time someone else had put eyeliner on me.

Wow finally somebody who understands my waterproof mascara obsession! My lashes stick downwards almost and I have to use the traditional curler for 5 minutes. Regular mascara makes the curl die in one minute!

Just like heat damages your hair, would this damage your eyelashes because I saw it today and I was gonna pick it up but I was scared it'll damage my eyelashes somehow...

I have this exact same lash curler and I like it, I did get mine on clearance though, original price for it is wayyyy too much especially when you can get the salon perfect one at walmart for under $5 and it is literally the same EXACT product, just in the color black. And I feel my salon perfect one does a way better job because it does get more heated then the japonesque one. I hope this helps anyone looking into getting a heated lah curler! :)

I use a regular eye lash curler but before I use it I turn on my blow dryer on high heat put my lash curler in front of of the blow dryer for 4-5 seconds and curl my lashes i follow that up with waterproof mascara and it seriously keeps my stick straight lashes curled all day, and I like the effect it gives better than regular heated lash curlers, I hope that made sense haha! You should try it if you want to! Love you're videos keep it real leighann xoxo alex☆

There was a cheaper version of this, but it died within 2 weeks, so still not a good thing. Thank you for giving an honest opinion!

If you turn/rotate the eyelash curler while curling you get a better more dramatic curl.

I have the EXACT same lash problem. Stick straight and almost pointing down.

Just put your blow dryer for a few seconds on your regular eyelash curler ! It works amazing ! No need for extra money and gives a better look!

Try wiggling the eye curler and "pulling" it a bit out and up when curling your eye lashes.. That takes away the weird angles It's looks the most natural when I do that. *lol hope you understood that

I bought one of these off ebay & it scared me at first lol bt i really didnt see a difference. Btw i have long lashes and they look more natrually curled w/ the traditional one

Try the Ardell heated eyelash curler! It's so much better!

Can you purchase those at a store? Not an online store but an actual store? I would love to check one out. I love your videos so much

Goss Makeup artist has a sort of recent video about curling your lashes. ( not the one about the water proof mascara) The technique produces a similar curl to what you have going on in this video. I have Snuffleupagus eyelashes too, and using the technique he talks about and water proof mascara has changed my life! It wont let me link his video for some reason, but you should check it out!

I feel like you've been posting so many videos lately... and I ain't complaining! Love your videos!! :)

I have the same kind of lashes like you do and my secret to make them look natural is to curl them with a traditional curler like normal and then curl them with the edge of a spoon. Yup, a spoon. The concept is to curl them as if you're curling a ribbon, like for a present, you know with a blade of the scissors, does that make sense? probably not. This is like a tip that most Hispanic women do, at least most if not all of the ones I know, swear by this trick. Anyway, that's what I do and I always have to use waterproof mascara too to hold my curl, twinsies! 😉

Love your nails! What color/brand polish are you wearing?

What nail polish is that? I'm in love!

such a cool little gadget, i wish it would've worked out for you! have you tried the dior lash plumping serum before? i'm not sure if it would help with curling or not, but it might be something fun to try out in the future :D

What lip color are you wearing?? Its gorgeous!

Daaaaaaaang, I was so hoping this was going to be some sort of miracle thing. My lashes are exactly like yours. Droopy dumboliciousness up over here~

I love that u take time to reply can u do a list of the all the mascaras that don't mess with the curl my eyelashes are straight too..
