Project One: Experience Enrichment




Rationale

Sinyous Eyelash Curler

Through thorough research and reviews provided by young teenage girls using eyelash curlers, it is obvious that eyelash curlers are becoming tool that cannot be missed in makeup bag, as females get more conscious about their appearance in today’s modern society. From my investigation girls found the look of traditional eyelash curlers very unattractive, and for first time users it clips onto their skin frequently. Also the choice between metal and plastic, metal has a significant better outcome and more durable. While plastic curlers has a flatter curler surface benefits users that uses fake eyelashes. Tradition operation of the curler will damage the makeup which is already on the user’s cheeks and etc, which takes more time to look good than have fun.

Towards my design I aim to make the eyelash curler unique by its side way clip design, keep the use of metal for its material since it’s more durable and efficient. The use of metal also makes its user feel they are superior and elegant, since the material is reflective creates compatibility with perfume bottles etcAddition of curves to the normal handles and its irregular shape creates interest on a girl’s make up table. The head of the curler is also longer and flatter to suit fake eyelashes and users with different eye features. The design inspiration is like the breast cancer foundation’s ribbon which targets back to female target audience and adds ergonomics to the product. Also would like to create conversations between people “guessing” the use of the product, which encourages the mystery of the curler. The curler will be for home use indicating to the user to enjoy the process of putting make up on and bringing out the most of her beauty.

  1. I really think the model could be improved for the connection of two parts, and the paint can also improve. But i think the idea of doing this is interesting.

  2. I like the concept of this product but it could be a little thinner it doesnt make me think of something that should go near your eyes. this could just be the model im imagining it in metal and the finnish does it seem more appealing
