Is a eyelash curler patented?

Short answer: specific designs of a eyelash curler have been patented many times, but "a eyelash curler" as a general idea is not what is protected. What matters is the exact combination of features in your version.

What this means for your idea

Because patents cover specific combinations of features, the useful question is not “has a eyelash curler been patented?” but “has my combination of features been described before?” Beauty and personal-care patents focus on application mechanisms, heads/bristles, and heating or vibration features.
