The eye pads de-puff and the technical placement of the mask folds the lashes upward for a full-on curling effect. You MUST try it. Here’s how: TOOLS: Your Favorite Eye Pads — Lacy is wearing  my favorites ($$$)  but I also  die for these ($$)  and  love these ($) .An Eye Mask with a little weight to it — I love  this silk slip mask ($$), this copper-infused mask ($$)  and  this aqua cooling mask ($) . STEPS: Start with a clean and dry face. Moisturize as you normally would then place the eye pads under your eyes where you need the most hydration and de-puffing.Here’s the clever bit.
