Has anyone ever trimmed their eyelashes?

You are setting yourself up for trouble and eye infections with this. So are the mothers doing this to their kids.

Get an eyelash curler and learn how to use it. Stay away from mascara - it will just weigh them down more. If the curler doesn't work, see a dermatologist. But DON'T cut your eyelashes!! This is on a par with using a letter opener to get something out of your ear.

I would love to have the problem of having too long of eyelashes! Just curl them so that they turn upward and stay away from your eyes.

I have a really bad habit of pulling my eyelashes out. Mine aren't super long, but once in a while I'll have a stray or two that decide to turn down and I yank that puppy out, either with my fingers or tweezers. I also use a very thick mascara and it doesn't matter how good I wash my face and eyes, there will still be chunky remnants of mascara left. I've been known to pull out almost all of my lashes from pulling the remnants out. They grew back to full volume in about 2 days.

I was in a very bad car accident some years ago (as a pedestrian), and one of the things that happened was that all of my eye lashes fell out. It took about 4 months for them to grow back to a visible sense, about 6 months to their normal length.

I'd try an eyelash curler before trimming my eyelashes. I always warm my eyelash curler with my blowdrier before using it, so it "sets" them.

Have you tried Neutrogena's Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover? I was wearing mascara that just refused to budge, which was great when I didn't want to put mascara on for three days since it would last that long, but annoying when I wanted it off. It seems like there is oil in it to me, but what do I know. ::shrug:: It works though.

I use facial cleansing wipes. Any kind of makeup remover burns the crap out of my eyes. I'm allergic to mascara so I wonder if that has something to do with it?
