Q&A for How to Curl Your Eyelashes Without an Eyelash Curler

Yes, as long as you do it carefully with a clean curler that is in good working order. Sometimes old curlers will become misaligned or have loose parts that can pinch or damage lashes.

I like the Shiseido curler because it's wide and grabs even the tiny lashes. Depending on your eye shape you may prefer a different one.

Yes, but make sure to let the gel dry thoroughly. You will also want to scrape excess mascara off of the brush, leaving a thin coating so that it won't appear clumpy atop the gel.

The hair dryer will help to set the shape but is by no means necessary. If you have stubborn lashes and feel that heat would be helpful try the spoon method detailed above

If you use them correctly, eyelash curlers are perfectly safe. Heating the curler, tugging at the lashes, or using a curler that is loose can cause damage. It is also very important to clean your curler after each use.

Yes, and I curl my lashes even on days when I don't wear mascara. It's a great way to make your eyes look bigger and more open.

Yes, you can. Mascaras only enhance the curl of your eyelashes. You can still curl your eyelashes and leave them bare.

Water your lashes and grab a towel. Press your lashes gently with the towel to curve them. Make sure you do it before doing your makeup.

Coconut oil is similar to many essential oils in which it automatically conditions and hydrates your lashes. Melt it for a few seconds in the microwave. Then dip a clean mascara brush into the liquid and apply it to your eyelashes. Be careful not to get the coconut oil in your eyes.

Just use mascara or heat up a spoon under warm water and place it over your eyelashes.

No, but you may burn your eyelids with hot water.

No, the plastic spoon will definitely melt. Use a metal spoon instead.

If you use mascara too, they should stay curled throughout the day. If you don't use mascara, I would say only a few hours.

Yes, I do this all the time.

Yes, that's fine.

Yes. Castor oil and coconut oil are the most commonly used for eyelash growth.

You could just use a lash curler. You can find them everywhere. The cheapest one is probably at a dollar store; there are also some at Walmart.

Hair gel contains ingredients that could burn your eyes because it's not meant for lashes. I would recommend using clear brow gel or clear mascara if you don't want colored mascara.

It depends on the texture of your hair follicles. If you don't think it will hold all day then it might be best for you to just use an eyelash curler.

No, you should use a metal spoon, as plastic spoons should not be heated. Yes, you can reuse the same metal spoon.

Try rubbing them together or breathe on them like you would to make condensation on a window.

Yes, it will still hold the curl in place. However, using black mascara will enhance your eyelashes, making the curl more visible.

Not long if you use the mascara wand.

It won't cause any permanent damage, but it might be painful, and you should always use aloe vera externally only. If you do get aloe vera in your eyes, wash them out immediately and thoroughly.

Yes, you can.

No, not really.

Eyelashes don't hold a curl for a long time on their own. But, if you apply mascara after curling, the curl will last much longer.

No, not like that. If you use the spoon, the look will be perfect and good looking. It is only used for proper finishing.

Yes; you can apply mascara to thicken your eyelashes.

I don't think so, but you can curl your lashes and put aloe gel, coconut oil works absolute wonders, and so does Vaseline (for a less natural alternative since you don't use makeup anymore).
