To me they look like and feel a bit like a torture device. I tried one and decided it wasnt for me.
You can however get your eyelashes dyed and permed but you have to keep doing it every 6 weeks or so.
I just stick with a good mascara

Like you, i used to use them when i was in my teen years but also hated them too! I was always so scared of clipping my eyelids and the thought of it was scary haha. I dont use them these days. But i find having a great mascara wand can do the exact same thing!

An eyelash perm kit sounds lovely. I’ve never looked into that for myself, but I imagine I would have the exact same fears. I love a natural look, but I get so envious seeing my husbands long lashes and want mine to have that same oomph.

I never had any success with them and just stuck with Mascara. I like them to look as natural as possible.

To be honest the only thing that ever gave my lashes a lasting curl was an eyelash perm kit I bought. I only used it once though because I was scared of the chemicals being near my eyes and stinging a little bit. It just wasn’t worth it. I think mascara is enough. I haven’t tried a heated curler though, if anyone knows if that makes a difference I’d love to know aswell 🙂
