It took a minute to get it figured out, but once I got the hang of it, it worked amazing. I've always had long lashes, but they pointed straight out and down too. I don't wear make up often, but when I did I would curl my lashes and they looked good for maybe half the day then ended up pointing down. Also curling them caused breakage even just doing it once in a while. Next time I won't use the "S" form because my eyelashes go straight up. I'll wait a few week and try a more relaxed shape.
