Curling mascara is specially designed to lift, curl, and hold lashes in place, creating a wide-eyed, lifted effect. It typically features a curved wand that helps shape the lashes while coating them with a lightweight formula that prevents them from drooping throughout the day. Many curling mascaras also contain wax-based ingredients that help lock in the curl, making them perfect for those with straight or downward-growing lashes. For best results, it can be paired with an eyelash curler for an even more dramatic lift.
