Accidental pulling out of eyelashes!
by LeeN, Mar 05, 2001 12:00AM
Hi, I accidentally pulled out part of my eyelashes while using an eyelash curler which slipped in my hand. I would like to know how long it will take for them to grow back as I am now stuck with one eye and half a set of lashes. Also will any damage be caused to my folicles if I continue wearing make-up on the rest of my eye and is it true that vaseline makes lashes grow quicker and stronger?
Thanks

Should grow back in about 3 months. Makeup won't cause damage. Vaseline won't affect growth or thickness one way or the other. (Watch that curler!)
Best.
