The 11 Best Eyelash Curlers That Will Change Your Makeup Game

Wet n Wild High On Lash Eyelash Curler with Comfort Grip ($2, originally $3)

This $2 Wet n Wild eyelash curler is the next best thing to a dollar store find — but the bonus here is you don't even have to leave your house. With nearly 20,000 five-star ratings, shoppers rave that it gets the job done without pinching or pulling. It also features a rubberized grip and is designed to work for all eye shapes, making it the perfect choice for budget-friendly beauty lovers.

Japonesque Travel Eyelash Curler ($11)

This compact eyelash curler looks different than traditional ones because it's travel-friendly and not bulky in the least. But despite its small size, it still packs a punch, even on notoriously hard-to-curl lashes. As noted by Amazon shoppers, it works just as well as a traditional lash curler, which has earned it a spot in countless everyday makeup bags. One person who rated it five stars wrote, "The pink stands out in my cosmetics bag." (PS: It comes in black, too).

Tweezerman Classic Eyelash Curler ($14)

This eyelash curler is TikTok star Alix Earle's favorite — a fact that holds weight since her lashes are always curled to perfection. Amazon shoppers with stick-straight lashes swear by it. (Just search "straight" in the reviews section and see for yourself.) As one five-star reviewer wrote, "Dude… this thing is amazing. I mean, my lashes go from straight to straight up in the air! It's so good, and it doesn't bother my eyes at all! My lashes stay curled all day (as long as I use a waterproof mascara) and look AMAZING. Truly the best curler ever, wow!"

Preo Prima Shogyo Japanese Partial Eyelash Curler ($19)

If you're meticulous about making sure every lash is perfectly curled (we feel you), you might want to follow Spickard's tip: "I love carrying a partial lash curler," he says. "They're smaller and great for getting any stubborn lashes that don't curl or get missed by a traditional lash curler." Obviously, it's not meant to replace your main lash curler, but it'll help you perfect those tricky spots.

Tarte Maneater Lash Curler & Mascara Duo ($22)

While a top-rated eyelash curler typically costs around $20, this one has two major perks that separate it from the pack: It comes in a limited-edition leopard-print design and includes a travel-sized version of the brand's volumizing (and beloved) Maneater Mascara.

Shu Uemura Eye Eyelash Curler ($22, originally $25)

This eyelash curler is so iconic, it even earned a shoutout in "The Devil Wears Prada." Its slightly smaller design makes it a favorite for those with smaller eyes, allowing for a better grip on all your lashes and helping to prevent pinching.

Tweezerman Enchanted Garden Lash Set ($24)

With the holidays right around the corner, we're seeing lots of great limited-edition deals worth coveting. Among them is this little gift set from Tweezerman featuring the TikTok-famous eyelash curler we highlighted a few slides back, plus a foldable lash comb to sweep through your lashes to remove any clumps and define them to perfection.

Riki Loves Riki Eyelash Curler ($25)

Disclaimer: Spickard isn't the biggest fan of heated eyelash curlers — he's cautious about their safety and prefers the old-school trick of using a blowdryer to warm up a traditional lash curler. But since so many people search for them, we thought we'd include this highly rated option from Riki Loves Riki. It has three adjustable heat settings, and one Nordstrom shopper even compared the results to a professional treatment: "I normally get a lash lift, and with this curler, I can achieve the same results," they wrote in their review.

Shiseido Eyelash Curler ($25)

"For hooded eyes and monolids, I love the Shiseido Eyelash Curler, which has a flatter curve that minimizes pinching and makes sure all the lashes get curled," says Spickard. Amazon shoppers confirm it's worth the hype for those eye shapes. "I have deep set, slightly hooded eyes. While most lash curlers work for me, I can never get them close enough to my lash line, or if they do, they get pinched," wrote a reviewer who gave them a five-star rating. "His lash curler was recommended to me, and I was a little skeptical because I thought, 'A lash curler is a lash curler. How big a difference could it be?' But now I totally get it; this curler is an absolute dream to use!"

Kevyn Aucoin The Eyelash Curler ($30, originally $34)

For most eyes I use the Kevyn Aucoin lash curler," says Spickard. "It has medium curve and works on most eyes types." He also appreciates that it has silicone pads that have "the right amount of give/bounce to give a nice strong curl without causing any kinks in the lashes." It also comes with one replacement for when you start to notice signs of wear.

Surratt Relevee Lash Curler ($40, originally $42)

If you're ready to splurge on an eyelash curler that'll outlast the cheaper options, this is the one to get. It takes just one or two pinches to curl (so you'll save time), grabs every lash in a single squeeze, and delivers that perfectly fanned-out look you've seen all over your favorite makeup artist's Instagram feeds.
