Quick Tip: Longer Lasting Curled Lashes

I know, I know, you see the pic, the title, and know all about the lash curler. But, hear me out on this quick tip. Ready?

For most of us, we curl both sets of lashes and then move onto another step, whether it's applying shadow or makeup, or even mascara.

Instead, try this tip:

Pick an eye--let's say your left one. Curl lashes on your left eye, then apply mascara for your left eye. Repeat on the right eye.

The trick here is that if you curl both sets of lashes, by the time you apply mascara, one, if not both, will have lost their curl by the time you apply mascara.

Bonus tip: If I am doing mascara on someone with super-straight lashes (like someone Asian) I'll apply a small coat of waterproof mascara to hold the curl.

So repeat with me: curl then mascara...curl then mascara. Not curl, curl, mascara, mascara.

Extra Elle:

• It's currently snowing as I write this! Oh, it'll be gone in about 5 minutes, but I love the peacefulness of watching it snow.
• My Disney cold has returned. I went to sleep at 9 last night. 9!!! I'm usually a night owl-early riser. Hope your day is going well!

Ignore the lack of makeup (sick day) but can you tell the difference?
