    I ALWAYS curl my lashes! I have the typical asian lashes, straight, sparse, etc… I always thought if you curled them after, then you could pull your lashes out? I don’t have any to spare, lol!

      Tammy, I’ve always thought the same thing! Something about putting mascara on, then curling them makes me feel like they’re more brittle and will break off. NOT a good look!

      LOL! It isn’t good to do it afterwards, because your lashes are more susceptible to damage!

    My lashes are naturally curly, so I’ve never needed to do this.

    I curl before mascara as curling afterwards makes your lashes brittle and snap off!

    My lashes have a natural curl. Putting mascara on makes them curl even more! I suppose I am pretty lucky.

    I actually curl my lashes before and after mascara :D Use a mechanical one before mascara, and use a heated one after mascara. It retains the curl really well and looks really nice especially if you have asian lashes like me :D

    I only curl before cuz I am actually terrified that if I curl after mascara all my lashes will fall out!!

    I used to heat up my curler too, and only before mascara. Since I got them permed I don’t have to do anything at all, just apply mascara and voila, I’m ready to bat my lashes all day long!

    I bought an eyelash curler when I was young, in Jr. High… because I thought it was cool and I thought every girl was supposed to have one. Then I realized my lashes are already curled lol I thought everybody’s lashes were. Mine are super curly, and I’m thankful for it now, bc I know so many ppl use a curler. I saw on TV once that you can have them permed, which would be a great option for those who curl them. They stay curled for a long time too..

    Just a couple months ago, my eyelash curler snapped and yanked half my eyelashes out =(
    Never ever touched one since that day

    I always curl before applying mascara because the mascara that I use helps keep the curl in its place, otherwise with any exposure to water, my lashes just go back to what they were. Though I think all waterproof mascara’s help keep the curl.

    I would be too scared to curl my eyelashes after mascara – they’d probably fall out! =/
    I definately curl before using mascara…that’s the way it should be!

    i curl my lashes waaaaay before mascara. well, not waaay before, but it’s not right before either. i do the face, the shadow(s), curl, line, and then apply the mascara. lining after curling allows the curl to relax and look more natural. plus, no smudged eyeliner. :D

    i never curl them afterward because the curl just looks too jagged.
