This is a cheap, poor quality eyelash curler. I bought it back when I didn't know any better. It doesn't really "curl" my lashes, it kind of just bends them in a weird upwards angle but only after you hold it for a long time. Otherwise, you get no results at all. Also, the replaceble rubber part splits in half lengthwise after awhile. I removed it once to replace it, and I found a few lashes trapped in there! So it's making me LOSE lashes without me knowing. Horrible, will never purchase again, I'd rather spend a bit more cash to buy a way better curler.
This is for the old school Revlon curler. I bought this awhile back coz I saw good results on my friend who has long lashes. Result? WORST NIGHTMARE EVER AND WILL NOT RECOMMEND TO ANY ONE AT ALL! To be honest I do love the fact that it DOES curl my short, straight Asian lashes and it is dirt cheap. But this eyelash curler RIPPED OUT A CHUNK OF MY LASHES!!!!! This shouldn't be called an eyelash curler, it should be called an eyelash cutter! I had to go with no lashes in the center of my right eye for about half a year! HORRIBLE PRODUCT! DO NOT PURCHASE! I don't want anyone out there to go through what I did. No curls are worth losing your lashes for! I am sticking with my Shu Uemura. PS: I even tried the new futuristic looking one too, does not work at all.
I bought this one because the Maybelline curler wasn't in stock, but I did get about the same "turn out" as I did with the Shu eyelash curler for 1/4 of the cost. I love it for the price. Would buy again, after I try the Maybelline curler and don't like it.
Very basic. Great price. I got it onsale :) I was debating between this one or a fancy expensive one, but I decided on the Revlon curler and I love it, even for my Asian eyes. Definitely works, but takes a few times practice in front of the mirror.

This piece of crap cut my eyelashes. CUT THEM. When something has one purpose and can't even fulfil THAT, what the hell is it good for?
This is horrible. I have to squeeze so hard and for such a long time it actually hurts my fingers,as well as blast it with the blow dryer, just to get a very slight curl. The pad is way too hard so it pinches and pulls out my eyelashes. It also does this wierd thing where it makes clumps of my eyelashes stick together, so when i wear mascara it produces the "tarantula" look. Not recommended.
The Revlon curler was my first curler and I used it a long time ago before I started using the Shu Uemura curler. My lashes are thin, short, and straight and the Revlon curler oftentimes couldn't curl all of my lashes and instead, only curled a portion of my lashes. In other words, it curled my few longer lashes in the middle, but often couldn't reach my shorter or thinner lashes. It also pinched my lashes. Compared to the Shu Uemura curler, the Shu Uemura one curls better, doesn't pinch as much, and most importantly, reaches more of my hard-to-get lashes. However, the Shu Uemura curler is FAR MORE expensive. I have also heard the Shiseido or Kevyn Aucoin curlers are really good as some people prefer those over the Shu Uemura ones, although I have never used the Shiseido or Kevyn Aucoin ones before.
I will never use this again! I had mine for quite a while and I kept getting areas on my lashes where it looked like I was missing lashes! So I inspected this eyelash curler and noticed that there was a tiny indent right down the middle and a BUNCH of my lashes was tucked inside this rubber like pad. It has been pulling out my eyelashes all along. I HATE this eyelash curler I pitched it in the trash after I found out what it was doing. I bought the Shiseido eyelash curler now and it is 100% times better. Well worth the extra money.
I bought it as my first eyelash curler. I have asian eyes and short lashes. This curler made my eyes all red from the pinching and it just couldnt grab any eyelashes. It just wasn't the right shape for my eyes. But hey, it was cheap so I gave it a try.
