Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an eyelash curler and an eyelash curling method using the eyelash curler, and more particularly, after heating a first stick using a heat source, the eyelashes are curled using the first stick and the second stick. and an eyelash curling method using the eyelash curler.

In general, eyelash makeup can be completed using only a makeup brush, but an eyelash thermoformer, also known as an eyelash iron, is sometimes used as a means for fixing the eyelashes. That is, the user applies mascara to the eyelashes with a makeup brush, and then heats the eyelashes using the eyelash iron to shape them into a desired shape. The eyelash iron generally uses a heating wire wound around a metal pipe in a spiral shape, and is equipped with a safety guide on the outside. Since the structure for the eyelash iron is located inside, the volume and weight of the eyelash iron are increased. This causes inconvenience for the user when using it.

In addition, when the eyelash iron is used with mascara applied, the mascara is smeared between the hot wires, etc., and it is difficult to clean due to its structure. I have a difficult problem.

In addition, if the mascara is stacked without being removed by the heat wire and pipe, the heat generated by the heat source will not be transferred to the eyelashes, making it difficult to remove the mascara that has been stacked, and it may become impossible to use. .

On the other hand, eyelash curlers used for eyelash make-up use pressure to shape eyelashes, but there is a problem in that the finished product varies depending on the user's eyebrow shape and skill level.
