Eyelashes are kind of a funny facial feature. They make up such a small part of our face (or they do when they’re natural) but it makes a real difference if they’re not there, or if you choose to accentuate them. For those who wear makeup, they are often seen as one of the most essential steps in the routine for this very reason. For something that basically exists to keep dust and particles out of our eyes, they sure do contribute a lot to the beauty standards that so many of us hold ourselves to.

This is just one of several reasons why they may become the subject of memes. Also, most people have them and they often have an opinion on them if they think that they’re too big. Let these amusing eyelash memes give you something to chuckle at next time you’re brushing one off your cheek.
