Straight stubborn Asian lashes

HELP! I have long, straight thin, stubborn Asian lashes that CANNOT hold a curl at all. When they do curl, they donโ€™t look natural and stick straight up because (I think?) of my monolids. Can anyone suggest something? Maybe a good non-waterproof mascara, lash curler, and growth serum too?

Re: Straight stubborn Asian lashes ๐Ÿ˜”

@MichelleEuna My lashes are kinda weird. The outer corner has some curl but the inner corner is kinda flat. I use Heronine Make Curl Keep Mascara Base as my primer after curling my lashes and it does hold a some curl.

 

I also remember reading a technique that some of the community ambassadors learned. You start by coating the bottom bit of your lashes with mascara, let it dry, then apply a second coat down the entire length of the lash. Itโ€™s supposed to help with curling them. I think @Mellmars1185 and @lmaster might know better than me about the technique.

@JoSometimes @Mellmars1185@lmaster Yes Iโ€™ve heard good reviews about the Heroine make curl kelp mascara base. Iโ€™ll definitely try that out! Thanks for the suggestions I hope they work 

Re: Straight stubborn Asian lashes ๐Ÿ˜”

@JoSometimes @MichelleEuna Yes that is the technique! I find I get a lot of lift from the Tower 28 Beauty Mini MakeWaves Lengthening + Volumizing Mascara Jet . The rounded outer curve of the wand helps bump up the lashes at the base with the technique you described ๐Ÿ‘Œ

@JoSometimes @MichelleEuna yep you nailed it! Now I still will curl my lashes with Shiseido Eyelash Curler it's my Holy Grail before applying and I'll still curl them again after the mascara dries

Re: Straight stubborn Asian lashes ๐Ÿ˜”

@MichelleEuna @I have the same problem. I use a plastic eyelash curler I bought off Amazon that help keep my lashes curled. I also use Lancรดme Monsieur Big Mascara Set 

Re: Straight stubborn Asian lashes ๐Ÿ˜”

@MichelleEuna I haven't tried it but the Judydoll 3D Curling Eyelash Iron Mascara has been all over my feed lately. It's super interesting (the wand is very unique) and since it's a Asian brand it might suit lash type. Isehan and Clio also make really good mascaras that focus on curling lashes.

Re: Straight stubborn Asian lashes ๐Ÿ˜”

Hi @MichelleEuna, I'm so sorry your lashes have a heck of a time holding a curl. I don't have a monolid but I understand straight (and in my case, short) Asian lashes. Waterproof mascara is usually my go to but lately I've really been enjoying Hourglass Unlocked Instant Extensions Lengthening Mascara. I received this as part of a gratis package. It wouldn't have been something I would have tried but for that.  Here's a link to my post about the results I got from the mascara - Re: Feedback Wanted: TeamBICโ€™s 2023 Holi... - Page 65 - Beauty Insider Community (sephora.com). It's also available in a mini size - Hourglass Mini Unlockedโ„ข Instant Extensions Mascara which might be a better way to go, to see if you first like the formula.

 

Lash curlers that have worked well for my lashes include Shu Uemura, Shiseido Eyelash Curler, Surratt Relevee lash curler and Tower 28 MakeWaves Lash Curler. 

 

When I've used lash serums in the past, I've found Grande Cosmetics GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum Mini .033 oz / 1 mL to give me some great results when I'd use it consistently. 

Re: Straight stubborn Asian lashes ๐Ÿ˜”

@itsfi @Yes Iโ€™ve heard about the Shisheido Eyelash Curler and Iโ€™m thinking about buying it. Thank you for the many recommendations! Iโ€™ll try the lash serums youโ€™ve mentioned.
