Pic related isn't me, but is kind of my problem.
I have a lot of issues curling my eyelashes. The end pieces of my lashes (the outer and inner) refuse to curl at the base like the rest of my eyelashes, so they turn out kind of like pic related where her outer eyelashes are hanging down. The other issue is that they don't really curl that much, they just kind of stick out forwards.
I think the issue might be with my lash curler itself, like maybe it's not the right size? Do any anons have recommendations for curlers that are good for big eyes that need a lot of curling power?
I will say that using the Heroine Make mascara is a godsend. It really does hold my lashes all day, when any other mascara they're normally falling down about an hour later.
