How Kristen Chenoweth Got Her Eyelash Extensions‎ Infected

Kristen Chenoweth Eyelash Extensions Gone Wrong by Uncertified Eyelash Technician

Even stars are at risk of looking like they have “lips on their eyelids” after eyelash extensions treatment with an untrained technician. There has been a lot of speculation in the press about how singer/ actress Kristen Chenowth got an infection from her eyelash extensions. Kristen is now forced to wear sunglasses everywhere after suffering an allergic reaction to her eyelash extensions treatment. It appears that the star’s rogue lash stylist used glue that has formaldehyde.  


Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable, strong-smelling chemical that is used in building materials and to produce many household products. It is also commonly used as an industrial fungicide,germicide, and disinfectant, and as a preservative in mortuaries and medical laboratories. Some people are very sensitive to formaldehyde whereas others have no reaction to the same level of exposure. Reactions may include burning sensations in the eyes, nose and throat, watery eyes, nausea, wheezing and swelling.  


The guild of beauty therapists in the UK require all eyelash extensions technicians to use EU approved glue that does not contain formaldehyde. You should ensure that your technician is aware of the effects of the chemical and seeks to use professional glue that does not contain formaldehyde. Safe advanced glues which have no such harmful chemicals in them can only be purchased by trained eyelash extensions technicians with correct certification for the UK. Rogue technicians tend to buy imported untested and harmful glues which could contain formaldehyde and other more harmful chemicals. The only way to ensure that your eyelash extensions will not cause the Kristen Chenoweth effect is to have them applied by a trained, certified and insured lash technician.
