If your beauty regimen is anything like Ree Drummond's makeup routine, one of the features you like to play up most is your lashes—on any given day you can find Ree applying about 72 layers of her favorite mascara (Buxom Cosmetics' Lash Mascara). And if your goal is to get the biggest, curliest, most eye-opening lashes possible, using an eyelash curler is a must. Even an application of one of the best drugstore mascaras or waterproof mascaras on the market can benefit from a little pre-curling—especially if you're working with short or stick-straight lashes.
