Just a little word of warning: after you read this story, there's a very high likelihood you will never want to pick up an eyelash curler again. Because clearly it's the DEVIL and it ruined one woman's eyelashes for life (well, until they grow back again, anyway).
I always thought they looked sinister.
So here's what happened. Reddit user Aub3912 was just going about her day, minding her own business, doing her make-up, when she got round to curling her eyelashes. All was going swimmingly, when suddenly disaster struck: she felt a sneeze coming on.
And you can probably guess what happened next...
Yeah, a full chunk of eyelashes were yanked out, the poor love. Imagine how much that would've hurt, too.
The victim of this unfortunate accident proceeded to post more photos of her eyelash curler nightmare, which aren't for the faint-hearted. So prep yourself.
RIP eyelashes :(
And here's a close up, just in case you wanted to know how bad the damage really was.
False eyelashes it is for the forseeable, then?
