Lashing out

For years I've been a slave to my eyelash curler. Upon the advice of make up artists everywhere I dutifully bought the famed Shu Uemura curler, and used it every day. Praying that no one startled me and caused me to rip out all of my lashes (this actually happened to a friend of mine). Well I've recently stopped, and I've learned something. My lashes look a lot more natural uncurled. I have short, stubby eyelashes, so the effect I most often achieved was a sharp upward curve. By simply not curling my lashes and applying mascara looking down into my mirror I've found my eyes look just as "open" without all the pain and fear of the eyelash cage. Try it you'll see.
