Women Attacked By Artificial Eyelashes

Asahi: Complaints rise over eyelash extensions
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder--and so is pain. Complaints in Tokyo doubled in 2007 over eyelash extensions, a service in which 1-centimeter-long artificial hairs are attached to eyelashes. The service is popular among young women, but some of them say their eyes have become swollen or bloodshot afterward. Consumer centers around the country have received complaints in recent years, and many come from Tokyo. Consumer centers run by the Tokyo metropolitan government suspect the symptoms are caused by untrained salon staff trying to cash in on the procedure's popularity. In an eyelash extension procedure, salon staff members attach silk or nylon hairs to eyelashes one by one with adhesives. The extensions stay in place for three to four weeks, even through face washing... In some cases, adhesives entered the eyes and caused inflammation of the cornea. One woman had to call an ambulance. "It is too painful to open my eyes," she said...more...

I can understand that vanity can make girls go to the extreme, but c'mon...I've seen girls with their eyelids so screwed up, scarred, irritated and still with glue residues on the eyelids.It just make me wonder if it's really worth it to go through all that...and look even worse later...

False eyelash fad flutters beyond young fashionistas
Mainichi --December 18, 2008

At the flagship store of cosmetic brand Shu Uemura in Tokyo's Omotesando district, about 40 different types of false eyelashes -- ranging from cubic zirconia-studded items, to ones made with real feathers -- are attracting female customers.

But Taro, they say that the best way to attract a man is with a woman's eyes. That's why it's so important to have their eye makeup perfectly applied. If it weren't for the excellent application of proper eye makeup, this young lady probably wouldn't get a second look from most men...

Then again, I could be wrong....

A lot of younger ladies have so much going on with eye shadow and the fake lashes that they look like something out of bambi. Have to hand it to them for taking the effort to look good though. Sure beats the sweats/sneakers and obesity I see when I go home every year.

Women going mad for eyelash extensions
The Japan Times | Nov. 2, 2012
...semipermanent eyelash extensions are far more popular than nail art among middle-aged and older women.
"I think women today are strongly conscious about maintaining their beauty, even if they are busy working or even if they get old," Miura said. "Eyelash extensions make them look gorgeous and it seems they can't stop wearing them once they get them."
Amid the boom, the government and the industry have pointed to the need to strengthen training for the therapists who apply them. There have been reports in which unlicensed people performed procedures that left customers with damage to their eyes or skin. Adhesives used for false eyelashes can cause irritation if they are not applied properly...more...
