This lash curler is the brand I’ve been using for over a decade. I find that it doesn’t curl in towards the corners of the eyes as much as many of them do, therefore, it doesn’t pinch. You can also buy pad replacements for it as well. This mascara has been my go-to for years. My lashes are stick straight, so I have to use waterproof to keep them curled. I remove it with the eye makeup remover below. LTKFindsUnder50 LTKBeauty
