How to Hide Burnt Eyelashes
Table of Contents
Eyelashes play a critical role in protecting our eyes. Like eyebrows, eyelashes protect our eyes from moisture, dust, and tiny particles from the surrounding as well as sun rays. Additionally, eyelashes also enhance your beauty, giving your eyes a frame. Eyelashes also define the eyes, and having little to none can make you insecure. It is for these reasons having that burning your eyelashes would be a nightmare.
However, like hair and eyebrows, lashes also grow back in approximately six weeks if the hair follicles are still intact. But that doesn’t mean that you should lock yourself in the house waiting for them to grow back. You can generally go on with your life without worry. And lucky for you, there are hacks to help you hide burnt eyelashes.
The best, easiest, and cheapest way to hide burnt eyelashes is to put on a fake lash extension and create a dramatic eye look. Fake lashes will not only conceal the problem but enhance the beauty of many folds. Other possible ways to hide lash burn out are eyelash extensions, eyeliner, eyeshadows, and glasses.
