The downside with black lash curlers is that you can't see your lashes very well while curling them. That's why I prefer silver ones, because they're more practical. Even though I like the look of black ones more, they're just so chic.
Liba, I have never tried MAC curlers, so I can't compare, but I have the Shu one and I absolutely love it. I also spent a stupid amount of money on the Chanel one (almost $60) and I was very disappointed with that one, it's just like a drugstore one to me. The biggest difference between the Shu and others I tried, and what makes it better, is that the two parts (I don't really know how to describe it in English, please bear with me, LOL) hold together more tightly and don't have any room to move. That's why it is more precise. And you also don't need to use as much pressure as you need with other ones. When I use the Chanel one my fingers hurt because I have to press harder to get a curl.
I am very curious to try other high end ones, but after the disappointment with Chanel I think I'll stick with Shu forever.
