Review: Tarte Picture Perfect vs. Shiseido Eyelash Curler

 Tarte vs. Shiseido

The importance of owning a good quality eyelash curler is often overlooked, as it is an easy place to skimp out on a cheap alternative. However, a good quality lash curler will prevent eyelash damage and breakage without us realizing. After reviewing both the Tarte Picture Perfect curler and the Shiseido curler, there was an obvious and clear winner. Both curlers have plush pads, highly superior to drugstore curlers. The Tarte brand curler has a purple ergonomic handle which is easy and comfortable to use, while the Shiseido has a classic circular handle. They both retail around $20 dollars US and can be found at beauty retailers such as Sephora and Ulta. While the Tarte curler gave effective beautiful curl to lashes, it did not last! The spring's broke very quickly, rendering the curler useless. I went through 3 Tarte curlers, fortunately each time Sephora would exchange mine for a new product until I finally gave up and went for the Shiseido. This one has lasted two years, provides great curl, and is easy to use. It does take time and many test runs to find a quality eyelash curler, but hopefully this review narrows your search.The Shiseido curler scores a 4.5 star rating, with the only improvement desired being a more comfortable handle, and is the winner of our review with high recommendations.
