Hi there these two people have spammed my answer as well. Its annoying isn’t it. If you can report them both like I did. tobes098 tobes098
an eyelash curler -
mascara primer is similar to primer when painting, it is a base color beneath the top layer. - How to apply Mascara -
I also use cosmetic puffs (instead of cotton balls, cosmetic puffs do not leave behind tiny threads)
same with q-tips. The common q-tips are made with swirls of cotton that leave tiny strands of cotton behind. Most decent makeup stores have applicators that look like q-tips but have a foam applicator tip which can produce nicer results.
eye makeup -
— There are a ton of videos on youtube showing how people get different effects with makeup. search and look for something interesting to try

Having multiple types of brushes are helpful tools.
I don’t know the technical names for these, but I use 4 brushes on a regular basis: a tiny angle brush for putting eye shadow beneath the eyebrows or lining the lids; a thin but wide brush to help blend light eye shadows; a thick, tipped brush to spread the color on my lid; and a fat rounded brush to put a shadow in the crease of my eye lid.
An eyelash curler’s purpose is to open up the eye and not leave your lashes flat out. I personally despise eyelash curlers and avoid using one.
Primer mascara helps create the allusion of fuller lashes and helps keep the regular mascara on your lashes for long periods of time.
Another helpful tool are Q-tips. Their purpose is to clean up; to fix those mess ups mascara can make or even-out eyeliner.
Alright, so I think I’ve answered to the best of my abilities. God bless!
