But now, people are apparently perming their eyelashes at home for a thickened, permanently curled look. And yeah, it’s exactly as horrifying — and dangerous — as you’d imagine. Warning: if you don’t like borderline-gross eye stuff, you might want to skip ahead. There’s an intense picture coming up. The poster tried a professional lash perm, but was unimpressed; she says she paid $89 and still had to curl her eyelashes every day. Then, inspiration struck. “I saw a blog post on a lash perming home kit and on a whim, bought a kit and some silicone eyelash pads to see if I could do a better job myself and here are the results.” OK that’s out of my system. She says that the kit included glue so that you can stick your lashes to the silicon pads, then apply the perm solution over top, which will curl them. “It’s not too hard,” she wrote. “Just tedious. Took me over an hour because I could only do one eye at a time. The hardest part is gluing your lashes to the pad and making sure they’re glued on straight and fanned out. Probably took me 10 minutes to make sure they were glued perfect (I used toothpicks).” And if the Food and Drug Administration thinks that this chemical process is too dangerous for trained professionals to do, it is FOR SURE a TERRIBLE idea for you to do yourself. I am very glad this Redditor wasn’t hurt as she did her lashes, but that’s no guarantee that you wouldn’t be. You only get two eyes — don’t take risks with them! I mean, I’ll stick with my trusty eyelash curler. I have the the NARS Eyelash Curler ($20, NARS Cosmetics) which I like a lot, and also the Sephora Collection Curler with the pink pads ($17, Sephora). I use one of these two every day, then apply two coats of mascara, and I am happy with the curl quality of my eyelashes.
