How to Curl Your Eyelashes With a Spoon: Step-by-Step Guide

Spoon

Angle Your Spoon

After sanitizing your spoon, find the part that slightly curves (it's right before the front tip part) and align it with your eyelashes and lash line so that it gently rests there.

Byrdie Tip

If you like applying mascara primer to eyelashes, you'll want to do that before you begin the curling process. It won't interfere and will give your lashes a great start before moving onto mascara.

Heat Your Spoon (Optional)

If you feel you need a slightly stronger curl, you can carefully heat your spoon with a blowdryer. After heating, tap the spoon against the inside of your forearm to see how hot it is before putting it near your eyes. You'll be able to tell right away if the metal is too hot and needs to cool down a bit before using.

Gently Press Lashes Upward

After you've aligned the spoon to your lash line, gently press your eyelashes against the curved part of your spoon in an upward motion and repeat along your lash line until the spoon gets to the inner corner of where lashes begin. You can start at the bottom of your lashes and work your way up to the tips depending on the type of curling effect you're going for. This enables that you go over each area securely and you're to give your lashes a proper curl without leaving any behind. The gentle pressing motion against the metal helps lashes to curl upward giving you the same results that an eyelash curler would.

Byrdie Tip

Experiment with the angle of the spoon until you find one that is most comfortable for you. For instance, if holding the spoon on its side is better, opt to do that throughout the curling process. If you need to angle the tip downward and press, you can do that too. Whatever feels natural with your movement is the best practice to follow.

Immediately Apply Mascara

After you've curled your lashes, it's imperative to move on to applying your mascara right away. This ensures that your lashes will look as curled up and voluminous as they can, and the type of mascara you use is important. For instance, if you want your lashes to appear thicker, be sure to use a formula that will help thicken and add some length, and so on.

Check Out Those Lashes

Now all you need to do is sit back and admire your newly curled eyelashes. That wasn't so hard, right? Keep in mind that if you're someone who likes to curl your eyelashes after you've applied mascara, it's actually very easy to do with a spoon. You don't need to worry about your eyelashes sticking to the inner part where they might with a lash curler, and you can just repeat the same steps by bending them upwards with your fingers for added lift. Wait a few minutes before curling them to ensure your mascara has fully dried, this will prevent it from getting on your fingers, the spoon, or flaking.
