Are fake eyelashes safe during pregnancy?

Question

I have a special occasion coming up and I was thinking of getting some fake eyelashes. But I'm currently pregnant and not sure if the glues or chemicals used are safe for me and the baby. Can I use them?

I totally get wanting to feel pretty, pregnancy makes us feel so different about our bodies. They are safe, just make sure the salon is well-ventilated so you don't inhale strong fumes.

I was actually thinking of getting them done for a baby shower! But I'm scared if the glue chemicals are safe, did anyone else try them?

Amita Chowdary · Answer

They are generally safe, but the glue can sometimes cause allergies. If you get any eye redness or burning, please check with a doctor immediately.

Chithra Tiwari · Answer

To be practical, the glue might cause reactions and the removal costs extra too. Better to avoid now and save that money for the upcoming hospital delivery expenses!

Haha, I'm too busy eating my golgappas to worry about eyelashes! But yes, they are fine, just make sure you can lie down comfortably during the application.
