A makeup artist friend of mine always calls eyelash curlers “tools of the devil” but would be damned if they didn’t do the trick, especially on my puny lashes. While I do own one, I never use it. Maybe that’s because it isn’t 24k gold plated! That’s right, an eyelash curler plated in your choice of pure gold, or very bad-ass black nickel, is now available by—who else?—Shu Uemura. It’s from their Precious Metals edition, and while I don’t think it will get me to curl my lashes any more than their other ones did, at least it will look pretty damn cool in my cabinet.

$22 at Shu Uemura, 121 Greene St., between Prince and Houston Sts., 212-979-5500; shuuemura-usa.com.
