Abstract

The device has a heating unit (4), and a row (5) of projecting units (6) arranged with a space between them for engaging eyelashes. The heating unit and the row are arranged in a manner to selectively permit either to use projecting units for separating eyelashes without contacting the eyelashes with the heating unit or to curve the eyelashes by subjecting them to heat radiated by the heating unit. An independent claim is also included for a method for curving eyelashes.
