Before I get into the post, I just want to thank you who responded to my last post :)
It's good to know that it's not just me who's experiencing the problem *wipes away sweat* and refreshing the page DID help somewhat... (why didn't I think about refreshing the page... I wonder... -__-|||) Well I guess I just have to check the updates manually XD
Moving on!
So today's gonna be a comparison post... as stated in the title :P
I started out with the Shu Uemura eyelash curler, and not until about 1 or 2 months ago did I realize I lost the filling, and very helpfully Shu Uemura's no longer available in US... #@$!!! So I had to go for an alternative. I went for Shiseido
On the left is Shiseido. The silver one on the right is Shu Uemura.
As you can see, Shu Uemura is a lot curvier than Shiseido.
At first I was NOT used to Shiseido at all! Because of how much flatter it is, I have to adjust where I position the eyelash curler before my lid. I kept pinching my lids at first (hadn't experienced that in yearss..... OUCH), but once I got used to it, I do like this eye lash curler =)
So Shu Uemura vs. Shiseido?
Personally, I have rather flat eyelid, so in my case, Shiseido fits me better.
If you're debating between the two lash curlers... if your have a rounder/more 3 dimensional eyelid, go with Shu Uemura. If you have a flatter lid then go with Shiseido =)
Seriously though I don't think it makes the biggest difference in the world... personally I can go with either one... it's not like Shu Uemura can't do its job. Even though Shiseido does fit my eyes better, I like them both! lol... they don't make too much difference for me.
Hope that's helpful to some of you?
I hope you guys are all doing well ^__^

i have one of those too, but mine is extremely curved~
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pics! I've always wondered what the difference between all the curlers available were lol I only tried 1 eyelash curler before and that was the one that came in the Costco brush set that I got last year (or was it two years ago..). I remember loving how it made my small lashes curled but really HATED how it would always pinch my eyelid no matter how I angled it =\ And I think once when I was trying to making it work without pinching my eye I pulled out an eyelash or two or more LOL
ReplyDeleteI have a Shiseido curler as well! But it broke T-T I'm gonna get a new one soon...Haha I might try getting the Shu Uemura one :P
ReplyDeleteI should get an eyelsh curler even though I haven't used one in years, be great for super natural.... No falsies look (If I'm brave enough ).
ReplyDeleteThanks for this review! I'm gonna try Shiseido as its easier to get here.
P.S I'll purchase from jpmon next month & review those leg thingos~

nice review! I'm not sure if my eyes are curvier or not, but I guess they are? Either that or I just haven't positioned it correctly with my Koji curler because they pinch me. hahah Hope you are doing well! Looking forward for more posts! =]
ReplyDeletei've never tried either but always wanted to try both.. sometimes i think to myself i just cant pay 19 dollars for an eyelash curler.. i think i've had bad luck with mine. they are always misplaced or always break. i'm using the forever 21 now.. which is a dollar and some change.. lol
ReplyDeleteif i were to pick one though.. i think i'd go with the shiseido one. from your review, it sounds like it would best fit my eye shape
I really like the Shu Uemura one. My lids are very 'round' (cuz I'm a white gal, yo! lol xD) and it just fits perfectly. But after having had it for a while, I realized that it wears down easily and quite fast. It started breaking my lashes and pinching me a lot (which it NEVER used to do), so I'm quite upset about that : /
ReplyDeleteGreat post, I never realized it made so much of a difference! :)
ReplyDeleteto be honest, i have never realized that there are difference in eyelash curlers till this post!
ReplyDeleteI always thought they were universal and just have different length ones! But this is so cool!
Hmmm... I wonder which will suit me more... I'm just so use to my anna sui one and I guess it is more rounded than flat!
Great post! I learned something new :D
Ooh thanks for this review! I've had my eye on both of these eyelash curlers and I haven't been able to decide which to get, but now I have a better idea about them ^^ I think I might try to Shu Uemura one since my eye is not that flat and heaps of beauty gurus have raved about the Shu Uemura one :D

ReplyDeletewhen it pinches you & breaks lashes it means it's time to replace the pad of the shu uemura. after that doesn't work or after a while starts to pinch you need to get a new shu uemura one. They said the shu uemura should last up to 3 months of frequent use before you change to a new pad, and once that replacement pad runs out, get a new shu.
