Using this eyelash curler is easy. First, make sure your lashes are dry and clean. Remove any makeup that's left on them. Then, put the curler at the base of your lashes, close to the lash line. Squeeze the curler gently for about 5 to 10 seconds. After that, release it carefully. Do the same thing on your other lash to get a nice, even curl. When you're using the curler, be extra careful. Don't press too hard because it can make you uncomfortable or even hurt you. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the curler with a clean tissue to keep it clean. This will help the curler last longer and work better every time you use it.
