ögonfransböjare

An ögonfransböjare, or eyelash curler, is a beauty tool used to curl natural eyelashes. It is typically made of metal or plastic and consists of two levers that, when squeezed together, pinch the eyelashes between a padded bar and a curved metal piece. This action bends the lashes upwards, creating a more open and lifted appearance to the eyes.

The tool is used before applying mascara, as applying it afterwards can cause lashes to break or the curler to get clogged with product. To use an eyelash curler, the user opens the levers and places their upper lashes between the pad and the metal bar, ensuring all lashes are caught. They then gently squeeze the levers together, holding the pressure for a few seconds. Some users also wiggle the curler slightly at the base of the lashes for a more dramatic curl.

Eyelash curlers come in various designs, including handheld versions and heated electric models. Heated curlers use a low level of warmth to help set the curl more effectively. It is important to clean eyelash curlers regularly to prevent the buildup of bacteria and mascara residue. Replacing the rubber pad periodically is also recommended to ensure a safe and effective curl and to avoid damaging the eyelashes.
