A lighting eyelash curler includes a main board having a space securely receiving a circuit board. A fence is provided on a front end of the main board. Compartments are defined between sidewalls of the fence and sidewalls of the main board. Light-emitting diodes are mounted in at least one of the compartments and electrically connected to the circuit board. A movable clamp, a fixed clamp, and a turnover plate are mounted to the front end of the main board. The turnover plate includes a rotating plate, a catch, and a rotating shaft between the rotating plate and the rotating shaft. A catch hole is defined in a rear end of the movable clamp and receives the catch. Through provision of the light-emitting diodes, the lighting eyelash curler can be used in an environment having a dim light and has simple structure while allowing easy operation.
