Sometimes, mascara just isn’t going to do the full trick to maximize your lashes so they look nice and full. This is especially the case if you have super straight lashes or sparse ones due to genetics or aging. That said, we found a tool that will help your mascara and lashes go the real distance: the internet’s favorite lash-boosting “miracle” gadget: the makeup eyelash curler from Japanese beauty brand, Shiseido.

Rated the #1 curler by The New York Times’ Wirecutter, the Shiseido is adored by beauty content creators and regular makeup wearers alike for its “magical” ability to curl and lift even the shortest, smallest lashes — without tugging or ripping. Heck, the tool is so good, it’s even loved by people who don’t even wear makeup, for keeping their lashes curled all day, sans mascara.

The “magic” lash restoration is all in the design.

Shoppers say that until trying the Shiseido, they didn’t realize a curler “could make such a huge difference” in their routine, with many calling it the only thing that gets their lashes to curl and stay curled.

As it’s designed with a broader curve to get alllllll the lashes, the curler is especially loved by people with smaller, hooded and/or monolid eyes and people with short and thin lashes, who struggle with traditional curlers.
