But seriously, have you thought about your eyelashes lately? And I am not talking about curling, tinting or doing whatever you do to make them seem longer, darker and unnaturally thicker than they are supposed to be.

Eyelashes evolved to keep debris and dirt out of our eyes. Your eyelashes are sensitive and also serve to warn the eye of nearby objects. They send a lightening-fast message to the eyelid, which closes reflexively. So, basically, they let us know when to blink. And as stated previously, they keep sweat out of our eyes too!

So it is not only in the length or thickness that make your eyelashes beautiful, but the remembrance of how evolution has perfected our bodies to the finest of details.
