Whether you wear mascara or prefer to go without it, curling your eyelashes can make a huge impact on your overall beauty look—even if you don’t plan to wear any makeup at all. Not only do eyelash curlers help your lashes look more full and voluminous, but they also help open up your eye altogether, giving your eyes a more “awake” effect. If your lash curler is the one desert island beauty item you simply refuse to be without, it may be time to upgrade your basic model to a heated version.

It may sound daunting—and, not to mention, potentially dangerous—but, these elevated eye-enhancers are surprisingly easy to use (so no, you won’t burn yourself) and help create a longer-lasting and bolder curl than conventional curlers. Just like heat styling tools for your the hair on your head, these heated lash tools work in the very same way to help deliver a more intense curl that holds all day (especially when you add mascara on top). If you’re ready to get your hands on one of your own, scroll through below to check out one of these affordable heated eyelash curlers to test out for yourself.
