I've been blessed by nature with very long eyelashes, but Mother Nature may of course not always be fair, so unfortunately my eyelashes are bent piece and not to recognize them hardly without mascara. Therefore, I have always used an eyelash curler, I've never bothered to get me a high-end pliers, because I did not want to accept that this can cause anything but the 0815-tongs from drugstore nabenan for much less money. My lashes are not very adaptable in terms of form, therefore the use of an eyelash curler was completely pointless, because they really within seconds had the same shape as before. Eventually I changed my mascara and I switched to waterproof mascara, as this is well known to be better for the momentum but here was no trace of the desired effect. Although the result did little longer than before but only for a maximum of 1 hour. I must mention at this point that I ever have made, and even the chemicals my super straight eyelashes could not tame a Wimpernwelle. I must honestly say that I was very skeptical before ordering these pliers, because I really had almost given up hope, but still wanted to know what it was with the hype surrounding these pliers on itself. After a delivery time of about 3 weeks she arrived and I could not wait to try them. After first use, I was surprised how quickly and easily a momentum has been created. While I had to hold the clamp to my eyelashes at my drugstore eyelash curler always at least one minute could be seen after a short use of about 15 seconds with the Shu Uemura eyelash curler has a very nice swing. This effect was at first though really great, but I was not convinced because the momentum subsided known after a few hours with me and my eyelashes then again so were just as before. So I tuschte after using the pliers firmly my lashes and waited. During the day I tested the result again and noticed that the effect was not as strong as immediately after application, but that the momentum was still there. When I abschminkte me evening my eyelashes were still swinging! I use the tongs now for several weeks and I have to say for all who are still doubting whether it is worthwhile to pay so much money: YES! It is worth something on! This tool is a miracle tool and I know I'll never use another eyelash curler! I can finally go out of the house without even draw a eyeliner so that one even noticed that I have eyelashes! I am more than delighted, therefore, there is of me 5 stars!
