I had to add my review to say This is the One!!
I love that it is lightweight and operates smoothly. It has a medium curve, not as flat as the plastic travel types, but perfect for my almond shaped eyes. (You can see comparison photos of the various curves on a few review websites, I considered the more expensive Shu Uemura, but hated seeing reviews here stating some are counterfeits). This could be curved enough to pinch at the corners/ends of the clamp (nose side maybe) if you are not careful, but I have not had a problem. What I love is that is makes a perfect curve into my lashes without having to press hard at all. I also have the feeling that it will last for a long time - which is great - this version came with a pad installed, and one spare in the box and two additional refill pads (4 altogether). How nice to think that I will get the chance to use them ; )
I have been using the Japonesque travel type plastic eyelash curlers for many years now, (both colors) and I have to say while they are a great design for viewing and accurately curling lashes, they are engineered to break at the tiny points on the handle, in fact I have never even used the replacement pads - they're always broken after 6 mos. The last time it broke while curling in a most startling way and I felt lucky not to have been injured. So I began my search - I returned one other metal type to Amazon because it had an odd design feature with an extra curve at the edge against the lash line - this kept the device from getting close to the lid and put the bend farther out - making my lashes curl closer to the ends instead of the longest they could to appear to be and also made it very uncomfortable to use.
This Shiseido is flat edged and super comfortable to use, and can be positioned right against my eyelid. I even tried it over dried mascara the day it arrived (which I don't like to do, but I was curious to try it out when it arrived) and it didn't pull. I doubt I will ever have to do that again though, because every day since then my lashes have stayed curled perfectly from the morning mascara application and have not needed re-curling. Did I mention how light and easy to use it is? I am so glad that I didn't have to keep testing out other types or spend more money. This is a perfect price point for something used so close to the eye. If I have any issues I will definitely be back to edit this review.

Amazing
I am caucasian with almond shaped lids and very stubby to nonexistentlashes and any eyelash curler I have ever tried pinches my eyelids & never holds the curl. These are PERFECTLY fit to my eyes and do not pinch at all! I even tried the other brand similar to these also begins with S and the were a little longer width & flatter so they pinched my outer lid. These are the perfect length & curvature for my lids & the 3 extra refills that came with them definitely made it worth the price. Will def order again when needed...sorry for the awful pics lol

Amazing- just wish it was a little cheaper
I have very straight, downward pointing eyelashes that are a pain to curl and stay curled. Before getting the shiseido, my routine consisted of heating my eyelash curler with a lighter and repeatedly curling until the majority of my lashes were curled- and then finishing them with a waterproof mascara. Painfully annoying.Amazon CustomerAmazing- just wish it was a little cheaper

This thing managed to get ALL of my lashes in one go- even those inner and outer corner strays you’ve given up on curling because they never seem to fit in a curler no matter how you position it. And it curled beautifully, no crack-head using my lighter to heat my curler activity required. Mascara to show the curl because my lashes are blonde.
Really wish I didn’t like this, because it’s almost $50. But if you’re thinking of getting it- just do it. It’s great.
