Sooo, my eyelashes are coming out? Girls, help?

So, you know how when you put on mascara and you get some clumping? I was trying to scrape some of the excess off with my nails so my lashes wouldn't feel so icky. Probably not the smartest thing... Anyway, i've noticed that large groups (i mean, like 4 or 5) of lashes get pulled out when I do this now. It doesn't really hurt but I can't help but think if they're coming out because of something else, or if it's just because of me pulling on them. And will they grow back after they come out? I don't want bald eyes and i'm tryna stop scraping and pulling on my lashes.

    I had the bad habit of picking my lashes about a year ago whenever I had mascara on. After I noticed the same thing (4 or 5 lashes coming off) I freaked out, and that pretty much ended the habit. What I do now, is I am gentle with my lashes, I try not to press too hard on my eyelash curler. Also, to avoid those clumps:

    -When you open you mascara bottle, if there are little "mascara balls", just wipe them off with a paper towel

    - 'Zig-zag' your mascara brush

    -Get an eyelash comb instead of using your nails (:

    By the way, eyelashes do grow back, just like regular hair. You can use Vaseline though, to make them grow thicker and faster.

    How old is your mascara? Does it smell chemically?

    THROW OUT YOUR MASCARA.

    I went through that same thing too with my mascara that I loved. You always lose a lash or two when you pick at crusty mascara, but when you are getting 4 or 5, thats a problem. Throw it out. I lost practically half my lashes and they took months and months to grow back.

    I agree with what everyone else has said, but it also could be your eyelash curler. I curled my eyelashes with some $1 curler, a little too hard, and once I started applying my mascara my lashes came off. :(

    Your eyelashes will definitely grow back but it won't be as fast. My friend did the same thing with an eyelash curler and pulled all of them out! Her eyelashes were always extremely long but when they grew back they weren't as long! I hope this helped!
