If you have short, stubborn lashes that render most of your manual curlers useless, this heated eyelash curler by Fillimilli will make its way into your favourites list for sure. This gem has a rather flat curvature that is made for all eye shapes, especially Asian beauties who may be struggling to find a perfect fit for that ultimate lash curl. This also means saving you from the torture of pinched eyelids as it is able to wrap around your eyes seamlessly while the plates hold and pick up all your lashes (yes, even the outer and inner lash corners!). It heats up fairly quickly under 30 seconds and delivers a gorgeous, perfect, long-lasting curl with just one use! Simply wait for it to heat up, position the curler, crimp as usual, and voilà!

What’s a doll-like eye look without an exaggerated bottom lash?! For something more compact and on-the-go, opt for the portable mini heated eyelash curler, also from Fillimilli. Unlike the usual curlers, this has a wand-comb detail that makes it easier to reach all lashes from root to tip to ensure a natural looking curl, even for straight lashes. The shorter wand size also allows for better control when curling your bottom lash, which leaves no excuse for neglecting them if you’d like to go full glam! Even a simple no-makeup-makeup look can also be elevated in an instant with this beginner friendly curler.

Much like heating the wooden stick, this offers a much safer and comfortable alternative. To allow a better hold throughout the day, steady the curler in place for a few seconds before completing the look with a waterproof mascara for best results.

A hot topic on TikTok, another magic-like heated curler wields its wand to effortlessly push the lashes up that prepares you for any occasion, big or small, up to 8 hours of curl hold. It delivers just the right amount of hotness (both temperature and mesmerising peepers) with adjustable settings, and works wonders with its purposefully curved and grooved plate designed to capture every single lash, which also prevents direct skin or eyelid contact that protects you from the warmth. This curler also comes with a USB cable for a quick recharge to save you the hassle from purchasing and changing batteries.

If you ever wished for a mini hair brush instead of a spoolie to keep your lashes neat and party-ready, this is the one to go for. With little to zero doubt for Japan’s technology, Panasonic has a heated eyelash curler of their own in the form of a fine tooth comb. Just like a detangling brush, the EH2351AC silicon wand separates each lash from one another, allowing them to shine individually and mimic a fuller yet natural look when styling. It can even emulate and give the illusion of having lash extensions, without actually having to get one!

Still want to look bomb even though you are a beauty on a budget? Nitori has got your back. If you are currently not planning for a trip to South Korea to grab the viral Fillimilli Heating Eyelash Curler that first appeared in the beginning of the story, the EC-1016 PU&SI is a great alternative. Easily obtainable at local Nitori stores and online, this slightly curvier plate still does a great job at helping you achieve long-lasting curls and keeping them in place without damaging your lashes.

A dual headed self-heating brush with 3 temperature settings for different lash lengths and textures, as well as a visible LED screen right on the wand? Colour me impressed. Maximising the use of space, this truly well thought out design is a multi-tasking tool that works with lashes and eye shapes of all sorts. Interestingly, the dual headed brush consists of a long and short-arc side, with the former helping to achieve that long-curled look with ease, and the latter for more precise control over areas that require more detail such as the bottom lashes and both ends of the eyes. The shorter arc also helps to better fix any regions that the long-arc might have missed out. This unique device is also rechargeable with a long battery life, heats up quickly within 15 seconds, and slips into bags of any size for a quick freshening up - a perfect tool for the busy individual.

Another heating curler that grasped the attention of the online beauty community belongs to Lash Star Beauty, which stands out with its iconic gold frame and luxurious body. Although not the most portable, its sleek exterior is not a guise - the Lash Star Beauty curler promises a 3-in-1 feature, with its ability to curl, lift and hold. A home lash-lift is all it needs to lure me into its arms, together with its adjustable temperature of 4 heat settings which can give that extra boost of longevity and volume. Works best on mascara coated lashes, the wand supplies gentle heat in 30 seconds that is able to sweep up against those eyelids and anyone off their feet, working much like a mini curling iron you use for your locks.
