What To Look For In The Perfect Eyelash Comb
Width of teeth
Make sure you pick a comb that will glide through and separate your lashes properly. If the gap between the teeth is too big or too small, the tool may not work correctly. This might seem a bit challenging to determine without actually trying the product out, but just look at customer reviews and analyze the effectiveness of its teeth by what people are saying.
Material of teeth
Eyelash combs can either have plastic or metal (stainless steel) teeth. The metal options are typically a lot sharper and are more likely to pull at your lashes, while the plastic ones aren’t as sharp but may be less durable and have a shorter lifespan. For thicker lashes, or if you are using waterproof mascara, metal combs will be more effective. On the other hand, if you use minimal mascara that doesn’t clump too much, a plastic one will do just fine.
Handle
Premium eyelash combs will have long handles – like the ones makeup brushes have. Others come with flat and curved handles, which offer a good grip and optimum control. If you’re buying one in person, check and see which kind of handle feels right in your hands and provides better control. Also, ensure that the handle is sturdy and will not break easily.
Storage
An eyelash comb should be lightweight and should either come with a protective cover or a foldable design to be used on the go and stored safely. Foldable options are portable and convenient, making them ideal for travel use, while ones with a curved base and protective covers are more suitable for home use.
How To Use An Eyelash Comb
Begin by looking down and placing the teeth of the tool on the top of your lashes. Gently comb them downwards and outwards. Apply a coat of mascara to your combed lashes, then look down and slightly lift your eyelid with your thumb. Carefully place the comb under the lashes you have just lifted and comb upwards. To achieve best results, the comb should be used immediately after mascara application (while the mascara is still wet). It should be moved in an upward and outward motion, away from the eyes. Repeat the process for your desired look.
If you are applying more than one coat of mascara, make sure to comb after every application.
How To Keep Your Eyelash Comb Clean
Before putting your eyelash comb away, wipe off any excess mascara with whatever the product recommends in its instructions, but typically using soap and water or alcohol wipes is highly effective. Avoid using makeup remover because it might damage the comb’s teeth.
