It’s hard to deny the appeal of killer eyelashes. Combined with sharply contoured cheekbones, these eyelashes can transform any maidservant into a proper princess. But it’s this marvelous ability that makes much room for danger.

Loss of natural eyelashes

Ironically, in an attempt to enhance eyelashes, one may actually worsen them. Having eyelash extensions applied haphazardly can cause the natural eyelashes to come off along with the false ones. These losses can also perpetuate a cycle of trying to attach more eyelashes in an effort to regain the fullness, which can backfire and lead to even more eyelash losses. A more time-consuming but less threatening alternative is mascara.

Skin diseases

Improperly applied eyelash extensions can not only cause keratin damage, but also eye and eyelid swelling. Some develop allergic reactions to the adhesive ingredients instantly. One helpful way to protect yourself is to check that the beautician you’re visiting is certified and licensed. In addition, check that he or she uses formaldehyde-free adhesives. Those who have a dry eye or wear contact lenses should strongly consider foregoing eyelash extensions.

Eye injuries

The gift of sight is an invaluable one, and it would be a travesty to trade it away for something so trivial as a glamor shot. The adhesive from the faux eyelashes, upon entering your tear film, can lead to bacterial abrasions. Many contact lens wearers can attest to the fact that the frequency with which they touch their eyes is directly proportional to the eyes’ proneness to contract an infection. It’s no wonder, then, that frequently wearing false eyelashes can easily injure the eye. When your eye cosmetic seems to be an irritant, you should immediately drop the product and consult a doctor.

Conclusion

That fleeting pleasure of waking up with a cat eye is not worth losing your corneal or ocular well-being. When that starlet shows up on the red carpet with stunningly full eyelashes, the immediate illusion is that she was born with the healthiest of follicles.
