False Eyelash Brush

Wide brushes for a catwalk effect

Eyelash curling brushes
With the help of a semicircular base, the mascara lays down on the lashes along their entire length, creating a “cat’s eye” effect. This brush does a great job, but it has a small drawback: it will take a little time to get used to such a mascara in the form of a ball.
