Abstract
A method and device for curling eyelashes in several bunches includes a positioning frame, a pressing frame mounted opposing the positioning frame and configured to move relative to the positioning frame, the pressing frame having an elastic surface, and an operating handle configured to move the elastic surface of the pressing frame in and out of contact with the positioning frame and to thereby curl eyelashes positioned between the positioning frame and elastic surface. A combing member divides the eyelashes into multiple bunches prior to curling the eyelashes. The pressing frame may be configured to curl a lash line region or a middle region of the eyelashes, or an auxiliary pressing frame can be included so that the device curls both the lash line and middle region of the lashes.
