You only need two products to create starry eyes.
You should gently bend the eyelashes with a few firm presses. Illustration picture. All Over Press
Nothing opens the eyes like upturned eyelashes. A few snappy presses with the eyelash curler before applying the mascara, and Johan’s mood rises.
If you want the curl to last, and the lashes don’t stick out horizontally soon after applying makeup in the morning, change the mascara. Forget water-soluble mascara, at least for the winter months, and switch to waterproof mascara.
Water-resistant mascara retains the curl in the eyelashes much better than water-soluble mascara. It also doesn’t run on the cheeks in the cold and wind. The composition of the water-resistant mascara is oil-based, and it does not fade from humidity or water, so the curl of the eyelashes stays in place.
If you want your lashes to stay curled, remember to apply mascara from the root. Illustration picture. All Over Press
For starry eyes, all you need is waterproof mascara and eyelash curlers that match the shape of your eyes. If your eyelids get greasy, you should dab a toneless loose powder on them – this way you won’t look like a panda in the afternoon.
You can find the products that suit you by trying them out, but here are a few favorites from the beauty supply:
Eyelash curlers matter. By testing, you will find a curler that fits your lash line. The Shiseido eyelash curler is of high quality and with it curling the eyelashes feels exactly as it should, i.e. nothing. 31.90 e, Stockmann.
Cailap’s no.2 eyelash curler is suitable for almond-shaped eyes, i.e. quite a lot of people with these widths. The rose gold-colored benders also fit well in the hand. 8.90 e, Cailap.
Lancómen’s Lash Idole mascara stays on the lashes well, keeps the curl in place, and doesn’t clump even when layered. The brush is a handy size. 31.90 e, Lyco.
A Tiktok sensation from a couple of years ago: Maybelline’s Lash Sensational Sky High mascara guarantees impressively long eyelashes. These are guaranteed to make starry eyes sparkle. 15.90 e, Sokos.
An effective make-up remover is an absolutely essential purchase for users of waterproof mascara. A good oil-based cleanser removes water-resistant make-up without hiccuping and does not irritate the eyes or skin.
The domestic LV eye make-up remover is also suitable for sensitive eyes. This will take even the most stubborn mascara with it. Also suitable for removing other water-resistant make-up. €5.99, Tokmanni.
Clinique’s Take the day off makeup remover does not sting the eyes or irritate the skin. The odorless solution melts the mascara in an instant, as long as the cotton pad is pressed long enough. 24.90 e, Stockmann.
