Q – Which eyelash curler is best for me?

A – Eyelashes are as individual as each of us. Some people want a full, whole-eye curl. Others want spot curls on the outside corner or lower lash. And others may simply want their stubborn lashes to hold any curl. To decide what is right for you, here are some guidelines:

Lash Length

Those lucky enough to have long, lush lashes want to keep them that way. They may prefer an open cage curler, such as our Go Curl pocket curler (MT-036), that won’t pinch. Because of its open-cage design, the Go Curl pocket eyelash curler can also reach shorter lashes, making it a good choice for customers with less prominent lashes.

Type of Lash

Some lashes take a curl easily. Others require a little added attention. For those with stubborn lashes, a heated curler, such as our Heated Mini (MT-037), can curl even the most reticent lashes. For hard to reach lashes, a more exacting curler, such as one of our Precision or Detail Eyelash Curlers (MT-030, MT-031 or MT-032), can get to those tight spots.

Desired Curl

Today’s lash curl options are wide open. Spot curls, lower curls, big curls—whatever you want, the right curler can deliver. For spot curls, select a curler with a smaller cage, such as our Precision (MT-032) or Detail (MT-030 or MT-031) eyelash curlers. For lower lash curls, forget awkward poses and select a curler, such as our Lower Lash (MT-028) curler, designed specifically for lower lids.

Comfort

Look for a curler with an easy-to-use mechanism or an ergonomic handle. All Japonesque curlers are comfortable to use but for added comfort, try our Ergo Grip eyelash curler (MT-049). Take a look at our Power Curler (MT-059) and you’ll see an innovative, articulated pivot that always moves in a straight line. This unique movement applies consistent pressure at exactly the right place for a knock-out, natural curl. Add a specially contoured cage and silicone pad and it’s virtually fool-proof to get your best-looking lashes. Every time.

Pad

A quality pad not only provides softer, more natural curls, it’s also more comfortable to use. Look for a soft, durable pad with a curve that mirrors the natural curl of lashes. All Japonesque pads contain soft, resilient silicone with a rounded shape that produces a smoother, more natural curl.

Q – How do I use the heated eyelash curler?

A – For best results, use after mascara is applied. Turn curler on and heat for 15 seconds only. Use immediately to prevent undue battery power drain. Place curler comb under lashes and gently lift. Hold lashes in place until desired curl is achieved. Turn off curler immediately to avoid overheating.

The unique design helps you get exactly the look you want. It lets you curl just the outer eye—or the entire lash—with the desired depth, curve and intensity. Even stubborn lashes can get that deep-set curl!

Q – What is the difference between your “professional” and your “travel” makeup brushes?

A – All of our travel brushes have the same top-quality materials and construction as our professional brushes—simply in a more compact, travel-friendly size. Our travel brushes use 4 ½-inch matte silver handles while our professional brushes feature 7-inch matte black handles. Everything else—brush hairs, shapes, and ferrules—remains the same. That means every brush has the same comfortable and familiar feel and delivers the same, consistent results in the studio or on the road.

Q – What makes your makeup brushes better than other makeup brushes?

A – Exceptional quality, uncompromising materials, and superior craftsmanship go into every Japonesque makeup brush and brush accessory. Designed with the input of award-winning makeup artists, our brushes feature the precision, quality, and feel necessary to achieve any look. From the flawless fashion elegance of runways and magazines to the barely-there natural flair, our range of styles and hairs—from high-tech synthetics to luxurious natural fibers—transform vision into art. Japonesque offers dozens of specialized brushes for achieving just the right look.

Q – Are natural hair brushes better than synthetic brushes?

A – No single brush hair is right for all applications. The appropriate choice should be based on your intended use, type of make-up, and personal preference. In general, synthetic hairs are used for cream products such as foundations, concealers, and some lip products. On the other hand, natural hair tips hold powders better, making it a good choice for evenly applying and blending blush, shadow, and other powders.

Q – What are the empty palettes used for?

A – Use it to hold your essential emollient products – from concealers and crème foundations to lipstick and lip balm – without having to lug around a bunch of tubes. Simply scoop crème from the original container and press into the compartments to consolidate multiple shades of color into one convenient kit. Fill a few and keep them in the office, at home, in your gym bag and in your travel bag. Kit pops easily into the smallest evening bag for on-the-go touch ups.

Q – Are your products easy to display in my store?

A – Our peggable packaging – with barcoded UPC labels – is designed to enhance product visibility and to increase sales through more effective merchandising. In addition to our attractive packaging, Japonesque brand products can be effectively merchandised for optimum retail display with our Slatwall Merchandiser.
