Eyelash curlers are hardly the most inviting product in a beauty lineup, but if big, lifted, lashes are your endgame, it’s an essential beauty tool that you’d be wise to get comfortable with. When paired with your favorite mascara, the best eyelash curlers elongate and enhance your lashes, adding instant lift to even the shortest and straightest of them. 

“Besides the fact that a lash curler boosts your lashes for mascara application, it’s also really great for making you look more awake when you’re going for a no-makeup look,” New York City-based makeup artist Ashleigh Ciucci explains.

Despite the terror that can come from clamping a metal device over your eyelids, finding the right high-quality eyelash curler can help ease any fears and deliver impressive eye-opening results. But not all eyelash curlers are created equal, and this lineup of all-stars is the proof. 

When shopping for an eyelash curler, it’s important to take note of a few key elements: the curve of the curler to fit your natural eye shape; the comfort of the grip and handles for a smooth, even squeeze; and the quality of the lash pads to prevent pinching and kinks.

That’s where these Allure Best of Beauty Award-winning and expert-recommended eyelash curlers come into play. They’re designed to seamlessly snuggle up at the root of the lash, delivering a smooth, lifted curl to short lashes — without pinching or snagging. 

However, having the right tool is only half the battle. The other half comes from mastering the correct curling technique. “Keep the lash curler clamped for a good 20 seconds on each eye,” New York City-based makeup artist Meredith Baraf tells Allure. “If you’re not going to hold the curler on each lash for at least 20 seconds, don’t even bother.”

It’s hard to put a price on beautifully fanned, fluttering lashes that give you the volume of a set of falsies, but these are the 13 best eyelash curlers that money can buy.
