Tarte Picture Perfect Lash Curler

Most Helpful Critical Review

Looks good, but no so good.

This Tarte eyelash curler curled my stubborn lashes very well; however, after 10 to 12 months the springy part broke. I replaced it. One year later it broke again. I replaced it again. The changes that I notice with this new one is that the curve is less curved which fit the contour of my eyes muc...h better and there is less pinching. The previous 2 that I had owned were more curved,that made it a bit difficult to get close to the base of my lashes. Also, the coating at the handle ends used to be hard plastic,but now they have a slightly softer rubber handle. The con with this comfort is: it gets dirty fast, my makeup easily sticks to it. Another change is that I now have to press down further on the handles to crimp my lashes which is what I proposed not to do to avoid breaking the springy part again. So I'm hoping it won't break sooner. I have to be gentle with the amount of pressure I apply to the handles. The dollar store curlers lasted me longer than these. I still have them, but the eyelash pads wear out very quickly. Tarte curl pads last me a long time. Oh and this Tarte eyelash curler doesn't curl my lashes as easily as my first one did. I have to crimp 3 or 4 times if I have the time. I don't use mascara but I tried theirs and it does make your lashes longer. The eyelash curler comes with one replacement curl pad, and one mascara. All of this used to be sold in a plastic bag, but now they sell them in a small box. I still haven't tried the best eyelash curler yet, but for a while longer I'll continue to settle for this one and my other brands in my makeup bags. It's a nice looking eyelash curler, but I would just recommend their eyelash curl pads for their durability.
