Most women look upon eyelashes as a facial feature that should be accentuated by making them more prominent, and by accenting their blackness or even extending them artificially many women believe that they will look more beautiful and alluring.

The main purpose of your eyelashes is to protect your eyeballs from debris being blown into them or even flying into them. They not only act as a protective curtain, but are also sensitive to being touched, and will close reflexively when they feel contact with potential danger such as insects or any other objects carried by the wind.

When decorating eyelashes, most women ignore or are unaware of their protective nature, and throughout history it has been the fashion to extend them artificially and decorate them with pigments such as kohl or mascara. In fact, eye make-up is a significant part of the modern woman's cosmetic ritual.

Not all civilizations do this, however, and some, such as the Hadza women of Tanzania will trim them rather than add extensions, although this may cause them problems in dry and dusty conditions! Eyelash trimming is not recommended because nature gave you them for a reason, and they are very effective in protecting your eyeballs from injury - even a small insect can do your eyes a great deal of harm without eyelashes to keep them out.

Today, women apply a range of enhancements to their eyelashes. In addition to the traditional mascara and eyelash extensions that became popular in the 1960s, they also tint them and enhance them by use of eye shadow on the eyelids and even glitter on the lashes themselves. Eyes are traditionally regarded as windows to the soul, and any means of enhancement are regarded as alluring and tempting. You can even have permanent extensions made to your eyelashes, including a permanent change to their color.

The ultimate in this type of eye adornment is an eyelash transplant that is made from hairs from your head, along with the follicle or root. These will continue to grow just as the hairs on your head, and you can trim your eyelashes to whatever size you want. Even more novel is the use of eyelash conditioners, formulated not only to make them look healthier, but also to promote length and a greater degree of curl. Lilash is another way.

Eyelashes are becoming increasingly more important in a young woman's preparation for a hot date, but it is important that you never forget their intended purpose: to prevent damage to your eyes, and not just to look long, black and beautifully curly as a means of attracting young men.
