What to Look for in a Curling Mascara Wand Curling mascaras often have curved wands, which helps you achieve the desired curl while lifting your lashes. Beyond that, some are designed with comb-like bristles for precision and definition, some help deliver exaggeration and volume, and others are angled for easy application.

You'll also want to consider the formula. Look for something that glides on easily, resists clumping, and provides long-lasting hold. Additionally, Ali recommends opting for a somewhat lightweight formula. "I think that when the mascara is too heavy and too dense, it will probably give you a lot of volume, but the curl won't last long because the lashes are too heavy," she says. "It's like when you're using a lot of hair styling products when your hair is very thin. It will weigh it down."
