Eyelash curler

An eyelash curler is a tool that helps in making your eyelashes look pretty and curly. It looks like a pair of scissors but has a different purpose. Where scissors cut, this tool bends your lashes into a curled position. You place your lashes between two little rubbery pads and then clamp them together, squeezing gently. This makes your eyelashes go "curl!" like they're waking up from a nap. The curled lashes make your eyes look more open and awake, and sometimes even bigger. It's like when you put ribbons in your hair and they become more bouncy and curly - the same thing happens with your eyelashes when you use this cool tool. Just be gentle and go slow so you don't accidentally pinch yourself!
