BEAUTY TIPS: GET THE PERFECT EYELASH CURLER

Don't be intimidated by its resemblance to a medieval torture device—an eyelash curler can make eyes appear wider and sexier in seconds.

Squeeze the curler at the roots and hold for three to five seconds, then pulse halfway down the lashes three times—one second per pulse.
