Hot take: Not all eyelash curlers are created equal. Your eyelashes are delicate, fragile little flutters, you see, and they're particularly vulnerable to physical stress (and while they do tend to grow back, too much wear and tear can scar the follicle and cause permanent damage).

The bottom line? You'll want to be gentle with your lash curler, but you also don't want to clamp them through any ol' metal trap. 

Good news! There are a ton of high-quality lash curlers out there, and we've rounded them all up below.

Some have more bells and whistles for maximum lift; others are simple and to the point, but they all offer a far gentler experience—no pinching, no crimping, just the doll-like, spidery lashes you came for.

The colors are cute, but they're practical, too: The white bumper pads contrast nicely with your lashes, so you can clearly see your curl positioning and make sure you grab every lash between the trap. As for the rose gold—well, that does look incredibly luxe.

Price at time of publish: $24

Notable features: Extra firm bumper pad, custom shaped curvature that's suitable for a variety of eye shapes

Ever notice your lashes clumped together after curling? Sure, wiggling on some mascara can help fan them out, but a lash separator is top-notch for those days you don't wear a stitch of makeup (and even if you do, it's great for loosening mascara clumps, too!). The tiny metal teeth define each lash for the most spidery flutters.
