Eyelash extensions and strip lashes have increased in popularity over the years. Something that was once seen as strictly for the red carpet has now become a part of many people's daily makeup routine. A-listers such as Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez and Meghan Markle have all used strip lashes over the years.

Along with strip lashes, many prefer individual extensions as a long-lasting alternative. This service can be expensive, and the application process takes several hours. As trendy as they are there is, of course, a risk.

Is there a risk with wearing fake lashes?

Even though long and full cilia have become associated with vanity, they do have a biological purpose. The natural lash is designed to reduce airflow, prevent sun damage to the eye and protect it from external elements. Midwest Eye Consultants warns patients that using artificial lashes can place them at risk for injuries, infections, allergic reactions and could potentially damage the natural lash.

Augmenting the eyes presents a few chances not everyone is willing to take — but that doesn't mean you can't grow out your natural lashes.

Do eyelash serums work?

Serums are designed to condition the hair and stimulate the follicle, resulting in longer and fuller lashes. However, not every lash serum is designed the same. "Most over-the-counter lash growth serums work by conditioning the lashes — allowing them to appear more hydrated and volumized — but may not contribute to actual growth," Dr. Fatima Fahs tells Forbes. "If you're looking specifically for a growth-inducing serum, check the ingredient list for bimatoprost, isopropyl cloprostenate or some other prostaglandin analog — a group of fatty acid compounds that extend the phase of hair growth."
