Mac half lash curler review and demo


Today I decided to do short review on MAC half curler. I painfully tried to find review for this and very few women actually reviewed it. As the name states, this is a half size eyelash curler. It retails for 14 euro and comes with a cushion refill. The curler is also not very round compared to my full size curler.

Next to a full size curler (from Make up for ever)

When I bought it, the sales person was surprised and said that this was usually for "asian eyes" whatever that means. Well I'm happy to report that lashes are lashes and it works fine on me! As you may have figured it out already, this curler permits you to curl only a section of your lashes and to reach the corners. This curler is also good for small eyes and deep set eyes. With my deep set eyes, it's hard to curl the lashes with a full size curler without my brow bone in the way.


To be able to demonstrate what it does, I used the same mascara primer and mascara for the three lash look.

Only the outer corner with the half curler 

As you can see, with the full size curler it gives me more of a doll effect and with the half curler it helps giving the illusion that my eyes are less round and more elongated. I actually like both looks, depending on what I'm going for. You can of course do all your lashes with the half curler as well!

I'm actually liking the look of my eyes like this, weather I'm going for the half or full look. I should try doing this more often.

  4. I'm sure it would be. I think to be honest that the salesperson was a bit biased, because Asian women tend to buy more eyelash curlers in general.


    But as curlers go this is a good on at a fair price!

  6. Thank you. Actually I bought a new brush that really packs on color. My eyes look should be more intense from now on!

  9. I like both, too! I actually never curl my lashes... I don't even know what my lashes would look like curled.

  11. I like the effect of both the full and half curler. I am also loving the mint green and pink eyeshadow you are wearing!! Other than that, I am not much of an expert of eyelash curlers because I have never used one in my life and do not plan to.

  12. Most women don't have a problem with curlers unless they are too curved and then they can pinch the skin. They should check on the map it's pretty big out there.


    You should give these a go for the price!

  13. Hey Judith, haha I like the "Asian eyes" part :p I personally do have problems with getting all my lashes in a regular curler, although the Shu one comes pretty close!


    Yes I can see the difference between the two photos! Your corner lashes are SO pretty with this half curler! Makes me wonder if I want to give one of these a go :)
