Question
Is this really any better than a drugstore one? Is there an instant, noticable difference?
Is it worth the 20$ to buy this as a replacement to my normal revlon one from walgreens? Do your eyelashes stay curled the whole day, and does it not create an unnatural curl? My eyelashes do not stay curled for long after I apply mascara. So will this do that for me?
Thanks!

YES there IS a difference. The biggest difference is HOLDS CURL ALL DAY. I'm a retail manager at a drugstore and I've tried most of the eye lash curlers that we sell (Revlon, Lacross, Tweezerman, and Maybelline to be specific). There IS a difference in SHAPE and the cushion. The only one that could possibly come close is Tweezerman, but even that is a $12 eyelash curler...they only thing drugstore curlers have on this one is price and convenience--you can easily replace a broken curler or lost one... the shu uemura is kinda fragile and traveler sensitive, BUT it works and is totally worth the $20.
I even did a test to prove it to a skeptical aunt of mine. I challenged her to curl her Asian, straight-down lashes without even putting on mascara. Next day we looked at her lashes again and they were STILL curled. I kid you not, it's worth the money--especially if you chose to use this every day.

i have the same issue. i must use a mascara that does not have water as its first ingredient. usually waterproof ones work best. this curler is great. it does give a natural curl, and i curl in 2 spots. my lashes stay curled all day. the price is high, japonesque is another great choice from Ulta.

Is it worth the 20$, absolutely. No, your eyelashes do not stay curled all day but it does appear as a natural curl. For best results I curl before mascara. Be sure to pump and hold. Apply two coats of mascara and allow to dry for a few seconds. Again, pump and hold, try to get it as close to the lash line as possible. I would advise using a plyable mascara that doesn't get stiff on you.

I can honestly say the extra money is worth it. I also heat the eyelash curler for a few seconds with a blowdryer before curling my lashes and then I apply my mascara
answer 5
This is no different than the revlon curler from the store, not worth the price. If you're going to spend the money, go for the heated version by Sephora.
answer 6
This is worth the money- my eyelashes look as good as they do at the end of the day as when I first curl them in the beginning.
answer 7
This is totally worth. This is seriously the best eyelash curler I have ever used. It has a curve to it that other curlers do NOT have. I heat mine up to help keep my eyelashes curled all day becuase mine stick straight out.

It is definitely worth it! It does everything you need it to do and more. Trust me, I was skeptical of all the reviews I've heard to and was constantly debating with myself whether this was actually worth it or not and it definitely is! I actually googled "shu uemura Eyelash Curler" and found photos others have uploaded of the results they had and decided to order it. It will not let you down.

Yes, in my opinion it is worth every penny. I have straight Asian lashes and this curler curls my short lashes gracefully. When I curled my lashes and did not apply mascara, curls lasted all day. Your curls depends on formulation of your mascara. I wait until mascara is completely dry then curl one more time.
answer 10
Yes, this is worth the money. I have tried virtually every drugstore brand out there, and they just don't hug the lashline like this one. The other ones are just simply the wrong shape. I like to use it this way: crimp close to the lash line and then walk it out the lash, crimping a couple of times as you go. Then you can get a really nice curl that lasts all day. My lashes are extremely fine and straight, and I use this right before my mascara, and it lasts throughout the day. Totally worth it in my opinion!

This product blows the drug store ones out of the water! I don't know how, but it does. Curls my lashes on one squeeze. And I have crazy long eyelashes. Perhaps it's the hardware. Better quality by far. Better "squeeze" in general.....I'll never buy a drug store one again.
answer 12
YES! It just works better for your eyelashes...it doesnt pull them out of hurt this is easy and gentle but gives you an amazing curl. I dont have thick eyelashes, i have thin ones resulting from a surgery involving my eyelashes and this is fantastic for that! If it works on that it will work on all types! GET IT!
answer 13
YES - i've used drugstore ones and they pinch and don't curl the lashes as smoothly.
answer 14
I had doubts also but it works for me. I love it!
