"But one of the things you might want to look for is if you are having more redness or crying or tearing when you are using the lashes because you can trap allergens on the lashes like pollen or you might be having an allergic reaction to the glue or to the synthetic fibers."

DOCTOR WARREN SAYS IF YOU HAVE AN UNCOMFORTABLE REACTION– IT CAN GET FIXED.

"You might want to go and see your eye doctor to make sure that your eyes are healthy but a lot of times we can prescribe allergy drops that help the tearing or the redness and make your lases more comfortable to wear."

BUT, SYNTHETIC EYELASHES MAY NOT BE FOR EVERYONE.

"There are some products that we can use daily that make your lashes grow longer, thicker, fuller and you don’t have to have the artificial lashes put on."

THIS NEW MUST-HAVE ACCESSORY IS THE REASON YOU MAY NOTICE HOW CONVENIENT IT IS TO GET THEM.
