Women who want to rid themselves of a bother called make-up may be all praise for this new scientific discovery. They can now stop relying on cosmetics like mascara that create the illusion of long and luscious eyelashes, a sign of beauty and glamour. Science is here to their rescue!

Biologists at L'Oreal's research laboratories in Paris have developed a gel that extends the length of time individual eyelashes grow for before they fall out, leading to longer and bushier eyelashes.hey have spent the past three years studying eyelashes, and comparing them to hairs elsewhere on the body.

While a human head hair will grow for up to three years, eyelashes grow for only three months before they fall out, limiting the length that they can grow to.

The researchers say that their lab studies showed that the hairs could be made to grow longer by increasing the growing time.

According to them, they were also able to increase the number of eyelashes present on the eyelid as a result.

"Modern mascaras create the illusion of longer eyelashes. When women take their make-up off, their lashes are still the same length," the Telegraph quoted Dr. Patricia Pineau, scientific director at L'Oreal, as saying.
