Artificial Eyelashes, beautiful but dangerous.

Eyelash fixing has become an increasingly popular trend in the fashion world, becoming a must - have for women seeking perfection and a glamorous look, however, neglecting it's health implications . Artificial eyelashes can also be seen as one that isn't genuine, real or natural.


Fake eyelashes are nothing new; for decades, beauty queens, celebrities and models have been using fake eyelashes and eyelash extensions to enhance their natural beauty. As with most things celebrity-oriented, fake eyelashes have become a commonality among the masses, and young girls are flocking to local beauty saloons to get the latest look from stars.


Using fake eyelashes is by far the easiest and cheapest way to achieve the much-desired ultra-feminine, sexy look, and the fixing of eyelashes have become an increasing popular trend that every fashionista is following, especially one that wants to look perfect, prim and proper.


But it is beautiful and harmful at the same time, harmful because if not properly handled, the glue can get into one's eyes and since it contains chemicals, it can cause a lot of problems for the eyes like cornea inflation, irritation and alteration to the eyes.
Also, the use of harmful chemicals on the eyelashes can cause them to fall quicker than they naturally would and artificial lashes cause the eyelashes to shed quicker than they are supposed to.

The pressure exerted in fixing the lashes can also cause damage to the hair follicles of the eyelids, thus making the natural lash to become sparse, brittle and break off easily due to too much pressure on them, leading to slow growth or it even stops their growth permanently.
