    The Waterproof Mascara Myth

    A lot has been said about waterproof mascara. I don't wear the stuff because it's a hassle to take it off completely without leaving residues behind. Other girls tell me they don't wear it because it makes eyelashes weaker and eventually they fall off, but that's not what scares them...what scares them is that supposedly that when you lose an eyelash it doesn't grow back! Stunned

    But then I think that if that were true, a lot of us would be lashless. They fall off every day even without the use of waterproof mascara or any kind of mascara, I think that if I still have eyelashes that means that they grow back. Whatevah

    Plus, for those who have small or less eyelashes, there's Latisse. Latisse is a product that makes your eyelashes grow fuller and longer. I don't know too much about it, I don't know if you need to have it perscribed to you by your eye doctor. So you could check that out if your interested.

    Do you believe in this myth? Why? SHOW ME EVIDENCE!!

    Waterproof mascara, and any mascara, won't make your lashes not grow back in if they fall out. However, if the lashes are ripped out, then over time the lashes can stop growing in. This happens with tweezing as well, resulting in bald patches. And I do believe that this can happen with body hair if using an epilator or waxing for a number of years, the hair growing in thinner and with less of it. So as long as you are cautious with makeup removal, then you shouldn't worry about it. If you notice that your lashes feel and look thinner, then it could be that the mascara is irritating the skin/follicles and thus causing some issues, but it wouldn't be the fact that it's waterpoof specifically causing that issue. I had that problem with a Clinique mascara because the ingredients just did not at all agree with my lashes, they felt like they were in much poorer condition. Much like when you wear your hair up or use hold products, having mascara on all day will make it seem like there are more lashes falling out compared to not wearing mascara for a while since there is no way for the lashes to easily fall away from your face.
