Shu Uemura Mini Eyelash Curler Review

Oh yaaaaaaaaaaa!

The Muse got the new Mini Shu Eyelash Curler and it's all that and a bag of chips...mmm.....I don't really like chips...it's all that and some double chocolate chip cookies! w00t! Much better!



Ok so I got this today and when I first slid it out of the box I quickly realized it was a heck of alot smaller then my standard Shu Curler! My god are they skimping on me!? Have no fear the size actually works to your advantage when you're using this bad boy. I guess that's why they named it Mini right?

I should mention that I've somehow become retarded when using this! It's like learning to ride a bike without training wheels. Your standard Shu Curler can be compared to riding around town on your ultra awesome bike with some training wheels on for safety where as the new mini eyelash curler is riding around minus the training wheels. I had to relearn how to curl my lashes tonight. I'm sincerely stupid because it took me about 20 minutes of messing with this thing before I got a knack for using it. Now I have mad skills and I went from amateur to awesome in 20 minutes! 20 minutes well spent my friends because I almost poked my eye out a few times there.



In all seriousness it does take a bit of practice to get a feel for using this but once you've become one with your Mini Curler it'll open a whole new world for you! I'm seriously impressed with the fact that I can get the pesky inner lashes and curl them up in a snap! Don't get me wrong my old standard size Shu curler can easily capture every single lash in one go but sometimes, on a rare occasion it does miss some of my inner lashes! Now I can slip my mini curler right in to take over the job and curl up any loose ends!

Now as I was saying my standard Shu Curler already does everything I need it too so why do I need a mini version?

The mini version gives me doe eyes! This is fabulous for curling the outer corner lashes while leaving your inner lashes straight! This will give you that doe or doll effect! That flare at the outer corner of your eye really creates a beautiful, unique look!

Ahh the perfect doll look!


If you happen to have very small, stubby lashes this should be a perfect tool for curling with. I have very full lashes so I can use this for creating unique, precise looks something not easily accomplished with my regular Shu curler however if my lashes were a bit stubby or short this is a very good precision curler for pulling them up, out, and giving volume and curl to pesky, short lashes!

As I mentioned earlier the size is quite small but it doesn't take away from the comfort level. It fits snugly, securely and naturally between your fingers and the size actually helps with the precision of curling! It's such a good size that it offers your hand the stability to do your work while holding fast and steady! The size also accounts for the fact that you're applying a bit more effort when curling with this. You need to work this gently against your lash line as it's tricky to use at first so the size makes the transaction a bit easier!

My regular Shu Curler never gives me a problem with pinching but the mini version is even better with that to be honest. Occasionally I align my regular curler incorrectly, squeeze down, and get a mighty fine pinch! At no fault of the curler but my own clumsy efforts when curling! Duh! It's unlikely you'll experience that when using the Mini version since you'll be curling your lashes in sections which makes for good precise work and less ouch!



Overall, I love this thing and happy to have it in my beauty arsenal!

My regular Shu Curler is the Cadillac of curlers so we'll dub the mini as the BMW of mini curlers!
