Guessing we’re talking about Jesse Singal. The man who was banned and then allowed back in after negotiating directly with bsky staff.

I feel you there. The time commitment for brows and lashes alone feels like so much. I try to cluster things on a single day and keep myself on a regular interval, and then that day becomes my little treat to look forward to. Every 6 weeks I block out an afternoon for hair trim, manicure, brow threading, lash lift, brow and lash hybrid tint, and laser hair removal. Feels like I’m being run through a factory assembly line. I recognise how OTT this routine probably is for most people though.

My guess is that you want a natural solution to your lash problem rather than getting a lash lift, but have you ever gotten a lash lift? 'Cause like… problem solved.

The first time I really saw the potential of a lash curler was when I booked a consultation with a makeup artist to find out what mistakes I was making. Apparently you’re supposed to pinch the eyelids a little bit. Just the tiniest bit. Position the curler so you’re applying pressure right where lashes protrude from the skin. I don’t know if this is universally considered to be the correct technique, but the result was undeniable.

Nonetheless I don’t wanna pinch my eyelids every time I’m trying to fix my lashes, so now I just leave it to the probably toxic god–knows–what they use when I get them tinted and lifted.
