Lash Blindness: The Beauty Trend That’s Making People Lose Perspective
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

We’ve all come across one or two women whose eyelashes look like they could fan a small fire. In fact, there was a popular X (formerly Twitter) joke some years past where someone said that if you blink thrice, you might just find yourself overseas.

These types of lashes cast shadows on the cheeks of the individuals when they blink, making you wonder if the wearer knows they look ridiculous.

This bizarre beauty phenomenon occurs when someone becomes so accustomed to wearing extreme, over-the-top lash extensions that they completely lose the ability to judge what actually looks good. Like a frog slowly boiling in water, they don’t realize how progressively more absurd their lashes have become, until someone finally points it out, or they see an old photo and gasp in horror.

What Is Lash Blindness?

Lash blindness refers to a phenomenon where individuals become so accustomed to wearing overly dramatic, heavy, or poorly designed eyelash extensions that they lose the ability to recognize what looks natural or flattering on their face. Essentially, they become “blind” to how extreme their lashes appear to others.

Lash Blindness: The Beauty Trend That’s Making People Lose Perspective

How Did This Trend Start?

The lash blindness epidemic started innocently enough. In the early 2010s, eyelash extensions became the must-have beauty treatment for anyone wanting that wide-eyed, “just woke up like this” glamour. But somewhere between Kim Kardashian’s 2016 makeup looks and the rise of Snapchat beauty filters, things got out of hand.

What began as subtle, natural-looking lash enhancements morphed into a completely different ball game.

Signs You Might Have Lash Blindness

  1. If you believe longer, thicker lashes are always better, regardless of your natural eye shape, chances are that you have it.
  2. If your lashes dominate your entire look instead of enhancing your features, you’re guilty of lash blindness.
  3. If you  feel “naked” or unattractive without extensions and
  4. You don’t notice how extreme your lashes are until someone points it out or you see old photos, congratulations, you do indeed suffer from lash blindness.

Why Does It Happen?

  1. Poor Lash Application:– Badly mapped extensions can distort your natural eye shape.
  2. Habit Formation:– Over time, your brain adjusts to the exaggerated look, making anything lighter seem “incomplete.”
  3. Lack of Honest Feedback:– Friends or lash artists may not tell you when your lashes look overdone.

Is It Harmful?

While lash blindness itself is an aesthetic issue, the extensions causing it can pose real risks, some of which include:

  • Damage to natural lashes from excessive weight or improper removal.
  • Eye infections due to poor hygiene (e.g., blepharitis, Demodex mites).
  • Allergic reactions to formaldehyde-laden lash glue.

How to Avoid Lash Blindness

  1. a) Choose a skilled lash artist who customizes sets for your eye shape.
  2. b) Opt for classic or hybrid lashes instead of ultra-dense volumes.
  3. c) Take breaks between fills to let natural lashes recover.
  4. d) Clean lashes daily with oil-free cleansers to prevent infections.

The Takeaway

Lash blindness isn’t just about the aesthetics, it’s a reminder that beauty trends shouldn’t override individuality. The best lashes enhance (not overpower) your features. If you’re questioning your lash choices, try scaling back and see how you feel —your natural beauty might just surprise you, who knows?
