Re: Eyelash Extension reaction



I've done just fake eyelashes, and when i put them on i leave them on for a
few days. while they do irritate my eyes at first, i get used to them and
have no problems. i would say you are either allergic to the glue they
used, or your cold is contributing to the problems. i'd just leave your
lashes alone for a while, and let the swelling clear up, which i imagine
will be around the time your cold symptoms subside.
