Prepare
Use your fingers or The Curl Comb to gently rake lashes toward your nose so they are separated and standing up before curling.

THE TECHNIQUE
Give it 10 seconds.
Your lashes are worth
the gentler approach.
Press + Hold
Once positioned, close the curler. Tilt it back toward your eyebrow, apply steady, even pressure and hold for 10 seconds. The thicker, cushioned pad distributes the pressure as the lashes form into a C‑shape.
Swoop
For longer lashes, move halfway up and tilt the curler back toward your eyebrow again. Hold for 3 seconds to shape the tips into a smooth C‑shaped curl.
Kara, founder of The C Curl, demonstrates the technique on her own short lashes.
WHY 10 SECONDS MATTERS
Give the shape time
to form.
Traditional curlers concentrate harsh pressure at the delicate base of the lash, creating a quick bend that can leave a crimp. The C Curl's wider shape and cushioned pad spread pressure more gently and evenly across more of the lash. Holding for 10 seconds gives a smooth C‑shaped swoop time to form—lifting lashes up and away from the lid so more of their length stays visible.
- A wider C‑shape meets more of the lash
- A thick, cushioned pad distributes pressure evenly
- A 10-second hold allows a smooth swoop to form
