Chemical Burn:

Eyelash extensions are applied with an adhesive that is typically made of cyanoacrylate. Cyanoacrylate-based adhesives release formaldehyde as a by-product of the curing process.

Another cause of is when the lash glue enters the eye during a lash session. You may feel pain, irritation, stinging, or a tearing sensation in your eyes in case. It’s common in clients with incredibly round

Allergic Reaction:

In some customers, there may be people who are particularly sensitive to eyelash glue and also have bloodshot eyes!

There are other reasons for this to happen too, like:

Cracked pads that break the seal necessary to shut the eyes.
Tape placement that’s higher than usual.
