Ouch, that must have really hurt!  Apparently this happens quite a lot, but take heart:  It seems eyelashes generally grow back after an eyelash curler rips them out, to judge from posts on the web like these:

In the meantime, put on quite a bit of eyeliner and I doubt other folks will notice the problem as much as you thin,.

Yikes!  How did you rip off your eyelashes??

I do not know how long it will take to grow back. When lashes are remove with forceps they can grow back in a few months.
