An eyelash curling device includes a mechanical eyelash curler and a carrier strip. The mechanical eyelash curler includes a first portion and a second portion configured to move relative to one another. The first portion includes an upper jaw. The second portion includes a lower jaw. The movement of the first and second portions relative to one another causes the upper and lower jaws to move from a first position in which the upper and lower jaws are located at a distance from one another and a second position in which the upper and lower jaws are in contact with one another. The carrier strip is coupled to at least one of the upper and lower jaws. The carrier strip includes at least one active agent therein on thereon. The at least one active agent is configured to aid in retaining a curl in eyelashes when it contacts the eyelashes.
