Shiseido Eyelash Curler by Shiseido, Makeup Tools Review

Amazing

For me, Shiseido and Shu are incomparable because of their shape difference. Shiseido's flatter shape is the closest thing to a perfect fit for my smaller Asian eyes, while giving my short lashes a long-lasting sky-high curl (a term I didn't understand until I encountered this curler). In contrast, my lashes would not fit in the Shu's rounder curve. I paid $20 CAD for this curler, which I do think...read more is really steep for an eyelash curler. But I would definitely repurchase if I had to, since it gives me the best fit of all the curlers I've ever seen or tried, from both high-end and drugstore brands. (I'm not really expecting to replace this any time soon, though; it seems fairly sturdy.) My only qualms with this curler are really minor. I was unable to find the usual silver one - whose colour I prefer - and ended up purchasing the gunmetal one. This gunmetal curler feels slightly heavier than the other curlers I've tried before. I get good results with this but I still have to heat it with my blowdryer. My lashes are super straight & this is the only way I can keep the curl. The reason I gave it a 4 is simply because it's not quite curved enough for the shape of my eyes. I've bene using it since last spring & will likely start looking for a new one soon. Would I recommend it? Yes. It's a very well made tool with good quality pads. Really nice if it fits your eye shape. This is way better than the drugstore curler I used to use. I purchased it because the Sephora salesperson said that it was like a cheaper version of the famous Shu curler. I've never used that one, but have always been happy with my Shiseido one. It fits my eye and gives me a good curl that holds well. I'm happy with it. When it needs to be replaced, I may try the Shu one, but would also be happy to repurchase it. After reading many great reviews, I finally purchased this lash curler. The only lash curler that i have ever pocessed is from Revlon and I have adjusted my technics so I could actually achieve a rather satisfying job with it. The first time I got hold of the curler itself, it feels light and flexible, in fact, it even feels a bit too loose for my liking. it is actually faltter than Revlon and the first time i used it, it pinched my eyelid because I was not carefully enough. It fits better with my eyes but I am use to really push it and then squeeze hard. After a few tries, I think you need to use the correct technic and curl all the way up in order to get the best result. The first time I tried it, my lash folded upward in almost a 90 degree staight angle which was not pretty at all. But now, with less pressure and carefully move up the lashes, I actually can have curly lash that shoot up to my eyebrows. For something that works this well, $20 is a reasonable price to me and I am looking forward to purchase it again.

Had high hopes.....

I've always wanted to try the overhyped Shu Uemura eyelash curler but Sephora no longer carries it and so I had to settle with this one which many people rave about. I was extremely disappointed. This eyelash curler pinched my eyes like crazy! Even when I'm trying to be super careful. I don't know if it has something to do with my eye shape. I'm Asian and my eyes are somewhat flat but kind of roun...read mored too so I'm not sure if this was a factor. This curler is pretty wide compared to all the other ones I've used but I find it misses the lashes in the inner corner of my eyes. Also, I can never get the perfect curl with this tool. It makes my lashes bend, not curl. I will be returning this.

Ordinary

Like the Shu Uemera curler, it works like most other lash curlers and if I'm not careful it will pinch my skin.
