She also prefers formulas that dry down to a flexible finish, so the lashes stay lifted without feeling crunchy or flaking, which is also what Wlodarski calls \u201cthe sweet spot.\u201d Another key tip: Looking for a waterproof formula will help your lift last through the end of the day.<\/p>\n<p><h2><strong>What&#8217;s the difference between curling mascaras and other mascaras?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Curling mascaras are specifically designed to hold shape rather than just add volume or length, says Loiz. \u201cThey usually have a lightweight formula and a curved brush that helps guide the lashes in an upward direction,\u201d she explains. Similar to how an eyelash curler shapes and lifts your lashes, Wlodarski says curling mascaras help your eyes look more open.<\/p>\n<p><h2><strong>Meet the experts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><h2><strong>How we test and review products<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Before reviewing any makeup, we ask questions about a number of factors: What ingredients are in it? Does the brand offer a wide shade range inclusive of consumers with all skin tones and undertones? Is it safe for readers who have sensitive skin or wear contact lenses? Is it on the affordable side or more of a splurge? Is its packaging consciously designed or needlessly wasteful?<\/p>\n<p>For our review of the best curling mascaras, we enlisted the help of multiple editors, writers, contributors, and professional makeup artists to review the products. This ensures our testing base spans different skin tones, genders, and dermatological conditions. We considered each product&#8217;s performance across four primary categories: ingredients, wear and longevity, packaging, and inclusivity.
