Abstract
The improved eyelash curler of the present invention comprises a blade, a pad, support means holding the pad substantially horizontally below the substantially horizontal blade and means for vertically controllably opposing the pad and blade to curl eyelashes therebetween. The surface of the blade and/or pad which contacts the eyelashes during curling thereof is substantially curved and/or sloped from the horizontal to impart varying degrees of curl to various portions of the eyelashes for an improved natural appearance. The pad and/or blade can be made removable from the curler and, preferably, reversible. The curler may, if desired, be adapted for primary use for one eye, specifically the eyelashes of the upper lid of one eye, and a pair of such curlers can be used, one for each eye. The curler is simple, inexpensive and effective.
