6. The longest eyelashes in the world might be too long for your comfort.
Born in Shanghai, You Jianxia has a profusion of luxuriously long eyelashes, which the lengthiest of then grows on her upper left lid and reaches a record-breaking 12.40 centimeters (4.88 inches). In June 2016, experts measured them in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. Since then, the length of her luscious lashes has earned her the new Guinness World Records in the 2018 book for the longest eyelash. Her lash length beat the previous longest eyelash, which grew on the left upper lid of Canada’s Gillian Criminisi.
Gillian Criminisi’s eyelashes measured 8.07 cm (3.17 in) long. Back in 2013, on an eighteen-month-long nature retreat, she first noticed her eyelashes growing. She puts the unprecedented growth down to living with one with nature. The spiritual record-breaker says that having long eyelashes is beautiful because it also shows that she is healthy. Could you imagine having eyelashes that reach down to your chin? That’s a lot of mascara!
