Tweezerman Folding iLashComb - Black

Tweezerman is a reputable brand so when I lost my lash comb I knew I had to re-order one asap. The teeth are metal and do a great job to separate lashes that may become clumped when applying mascara. I apply a coat of mascara, use the lash comb to separate then apply another coat. I do this as many times as it takes to get the look of fullness I want. It works like a charm. I recommend this product.

I have always associated mascara with clumps. That's one reason I declined to wear mascara until recently. But I'm getting older and my eyes could use a little lift. So, mascara. And clumps. My old plastic eyelash comb was inadequate to the task. I tried getting the clumps out with a spoolie, which takes so much stroking and combing that it also removes the mascara. So I went online to find something better. The Tweezerman Folding Eyelash Comb is lightweight and compact. It is 4.5 inches (11.5 cm) long unfolded and 3.5 inches (8.5 cm) long folded. It features 30 gold-plated metal spikes to comb through lashes, which are protected when the comb is folded. The spikes are sharp. I don't use the comb near the base of my lashes in order to steer clear of my eye. It would be nice to have a similar comb with a quality, brushed stainless steel handle, but the plastic handle on this comb is of reasonable quality considering the price point. Mine is Black; Clear and Pink are also available. I have long lashes, so the comb sometimes hits my brow when I comb the lashes upward. That can prick. But it separates lashes, removes clumps, and leaves the lashes looking great –without removing the mascara. I use tubing mascara, so it's not the worst example of clumping. Stuck-together and over-gooped eyelashes are still a problem, though. The Tweezerman comb fixes it. Lashes look great. Just be careful not to get the comb too close to your eyeball. Always use a mirror to avoid injury. Comb lashes before mascara has dried for the best results.

I don’t know where this has been all my life! I used to use the old dangerous approach of separating with a needle or a safety pin when I could be bothered. This is so simple and so fantastic. It is sharp, which is what it’s supposed to be. It does get dirty because mascara… I use the same product. I use to get off the mascara from my eyes on the eye separator, and it works perfectly. It’s small, extremely compact. And does what it’s supposed to do. If I had known these existed, I would’ve bought one a long time ago. And especially with aging eyes where things tend to get clumpy, it’s a game changer. I would definitely buy again.

Great lash comb! Works well even on the heaviest of mascara. Only four stars because I find it's a little hard to clean, and after cleaning it too much the pieces start to fall out. But I'd buy it again, for the price.

This is exactly what I've been looking for! I find that plastic or rounded metal tipped eyelash combs don't separate lashes as well as this does. I find lash combs like this difficult to find in stores. The folding feature keeps it safely tucked away. The gold plating prevents rusting and has antibacterial properties. It is amazing on clumpy mascara, makes even crappy mascara separated and beautiful. It should be used once your mascara is DRY. The best way I've found to clean this is to use a makeup removing cloth to pull dry mascara out of the comb. The mascara must be dry to lift the most easily out of the prongs. You should clean this after every time you use it. It doesn't necessary have to be right after you used it, so don't worry if you're running late and don't have time to clean it. Just don't let mascara build up on it or it won't work correctly. The comb section can be removed accidently with force (as with trying to clean by pulling on the comb with a cloth), but it can easily be put back into place. It is very small and portable. Be careful with this comb, because it very, very sharp at the tips. It hurts like hell if you poke your eye with it. This happened to me, it hurt for 20 minutes and my eyes watered intensely, but I was fine. If you want to be safe, try a magnifying mirror or get close to your mirror so you can see what you're doing. Don't use it so close to your lash line, just wiggle it around the lower part of it moving up as if it was mascara. Tilt the prongs of the comb upward, vertically into your lashes, not horizontally. I hurt myself while trying to pull the comb through my lashes as I blinked, so I don't recommend doing that. If you have the urge to sneeze or blink, don't have this near your eyes.

I bought at least four different eyelash combs before discovering this one and, by far, it's the best one of all! The little metal teeth are closer than all the others which is what I needed to remove mascara clumps. I love it so much I bought a second one for my travel bag. The size is perfect and very easy to use. Considering how much better it works than all the others I think it's a great value despite being a little more expensive. Definitely got what I paid for.

These are easy to use, compact, and work well on mascara clumps! Highly recommend!

I love how easy this is to use and how small it compacts for travel. The teeth do amazing work to comb and separate my lashes. Also, being able to protect the teeth is an amazing feature - I have stabbed my finger many a time during travel with other versions that don't fold and that I lose the protective cover for quickly. However, I have a couple issues with this particular model... -It's already rusting. I've had it for maybe just 1 month? -The teeth aren't secured well into the handle. I consistently wipe the teeth down after use. Partly to keep it nice looking but mostly so that my mascara doesn't build up and decrease usability. From the get-go, I noticed that the teeth pull out when I wipe them. So I've had to come up with a special way of wiping the teeth but not pulling them out, which is awkward and annoying.

Doesn’t comb through lashes with mascara

Endlich ein Wimpernkamm, der wirklich tut, was er soll: Für perfekte Wimpern sorgen! Die Wimpern werden nicht nur WIRKLICH getrennt - "Fliegenbeine" haben absolut keine Chance mehr -, überschüssige Mascara wird auch wie versprochen entfernt. Ich kann die Kritikpunkte hier ehrlich gesagt nicht nachvollziehen: - Reinigung: Selbst wasserfeste Mascara lässt sich sehr, sehr leicht schon mit respektive unter heissem Wasser entfernen. Natürlich sollte man den Kamm nicht erst 20 Mal benutzen und ihn dann erst reinigen, Pflege muss auch für den Kamm sein ;). Spätestens mit ein paar Tropen Mascara-Entferner ist der Kamm wieder blitzeblank. - Gefahr: Ich würde auch (schon) nicht auf die Idee kommen, mir mit der Mascara-Bürste ins Auge zu stechen ;). Selbstverständlich ist die Gefahr mit Metallzinken noch größer, WENN man sich denn ins Auge sticht, aber ebenso, wie man das bei der Mascara-Bürste durchaus leicht mit entsprechender Vorsicht verhindern kann, geht es auch hier. Das Ergebnis wird ohnehin noch besser, wenn man die Zinken im steilen Winkel durch die Wimpern führt und dann muss es schon mit dem Teufel zugehen, dass man sich verletzt. Sehr praktisch ist auch die Klappfunktion. Schützt nicht nur die Zinken sondern auch die Schminktasche bzw. die Finger, wenn man nach dem Kamm sucht.

Cant live without! Works perfectly.

Es lo máximo, es como la tercera vez que lo compro y no porque se haga feo o se dañe, porqué lo he perdido, pero lo vuelvo a comprar porque funciona divino. Es bueno, bonito y barato.

After what must be 15+ years of using my original Tweezerman Folding Ilashcome nearly every day, I recently misplaced it. I'm sure it'll turn up but in the meantime I simply can't do without it so went ahead and purchased this one. In my opinion - and I've tried several cheaper alternatives - nothing comes close to this tool for separating my lashes and removing mascara clumps to create a refined finish. Like I say, I can't do without this makeup tool. Given that my previous one is still going strong after 15+ years, I can personally vouch for the durability of this tool. The plastic handle and housing is made from high quality materials and the teeth tuck neatly into comb which means you can pack this tool when travelling. The compact design means it tucks neatly into my makeup kit or my bag. The teeth of the comb is precise and do a great job of separating my lashes. I advise following the instructions and using it on freshly-applied mascara only. (Don't use it once your mascara has dried as that could pull on your lashes.) I also advise gently wiping it clean after every use, and I even wash mine weekly using a gentle soap-free cleanser or a make-up removing wipe, and then ensuring it dries thoroughly. As a beauty tool goes, Tweezerman are more premium in price, but you get what you pay for and given that the only reason I've purchased this after 15+ years is because I've misplaced my existing one goes to show the quality.
