I finally got one of these as a birthday gift and I'm really happy with it. I was skeptical but it exceeded my expectations. It is definitely better than the average eyelash curler. It gives me a natural curl with nice shape. You don't have to clamp down on this and also don't need to use a lot of pressure to achieve a curl. A lot of eyelash curlers have a pad that is flat but this one has a raised pad which I think works to its advantage.

Since I consistently see positive reviews on this product I decided to hand over $19 to give this little nifty tool a try. This is a reason why there are drugstore brands and brands that are bought in department stores and Sephora--and this product definitely evokes the latter. This eyelash curler is by far the BEST tool in my makeup assortment. It's gentle and give a nice curl in one easy press. Even if you're running late, you won't regret just a few seconds to give your lashes a nice curl--'cuz that's how fast it is.

Having read the many magazine recommendations for this eyelash curler, I decided to give this one a try. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about paying so much for this curler, but it has been over five years and I have never looked back. The Shu Umera eyelash curler is the best tool I have in my makeup bag. Some days I just leave my house with curled lashes and a little lip gloss because the effects of the curler are dramatic enough. It gives my lashes (every single one of them) great curl and lift, without any pinching. I highly recommend this eyelash curler to anyone who wants great looking lashes.

this is an awesome eyelash curler! I recently got this as a replacement as I had lost my old one (some cheap one I bought years ago -Revlon maybe?) and let me tell you, I never thought there was anything wrong with my old one until I tried this one! I didn't know that your eyelash curler wasn't supposed to hurt when you used it or that it did a poor job of curling my lashes until i tried the Shu Umera one. This one is amazing! It fits my eye curavature so well that it never hurts now when I curl my lashes and it doensn't crimp them, it CURLS them! Although this one is on the pricier side, I think it's worth every penny. This will last you for years to come!

FLAWLESS!
This eyelash curler does wonders to my lashes! It gives them that perfect curl everytime! It is easy to use and it never clips your eyelids. This has been the best eyelash curler I have ever used. It does what a cheap eyelash curler does not do. If you have eyelashes that won't seem to curl, you should definitely try the shu uemura eyelash curler!

This thing is godsend. I have pin straight, individually thick, long, droopy eyelashes - crimping is a major problem. With just the right pressure, it gives you natural looking curled eyelashes! For better precision, you can use the Mini version for inner & outer lashes. (FYI Toronto peeps) As of this date, Sephora Bloor sells the regular, but not the mini. Sephora Eaton's told me they no longer sell Shu eyelash curlers. Maybe Holts?

When I was in Vegas, I make a special trip to Neeman Marcus to buy this eyelash curler. I have always loved eyelash curlers and if I have NO TIME I will only curl my eyelashes and groom my brows.
This eyelash curler is good. But I don't know why-but for (I think it was $25) I expected miracles. I stilll use it of course, but my advise to u if you are debating on buying this, you are just fine with your revlon curler :)

This eyelash curler is the real deal. When I'm running late in the morning and feeling really lazy, my one-two punch is blush and shu. This gets all my lashes all the way to the corners of my eyes. The result is batty, flirty lashes that last ALL DAY, until you wash your face. My lashes would usually fall flat at the end of the day with mascara, but my shu'd lashes -- even without mascara -- stay perfectly curled through a day at the office and a workout.

Believe the hype! This eyelash curler is a worthy investment!

I have this Curler over 4 years, and i won't change it for any other. It curl my eyelashes even without makeup. And when i wear mascara, i look like i have fake eyelashes. I highly recommend this product.
I read someone bought this curler for $30.00... check www.sephora.com, for a better deal.
I live in USA.

After all the eyelash curlers I have tried, this one is definitely the best one. I get a beautiful curl every time I use it. It also doesn't tug or pinch at your skin around the eyes. It does cost more money (I think I paid almost $30 for it) but it's so worth it. You will not be disappointed with Shu Uemura!
