The false eyelashes mascara that a woman found on Facebook almost blinded her.

Zowie Kinnear's false eyelashes are glued to her waterline—and they should be glued to her existing eyelashes. 

The eyeball of this charming 31-year-old man was scratched by mascara.

Zowie-has restored her vision, but had to wear sunglasses due to sensitivity-said: "I thought I was going blind."

She added: "I don't feel like a woman. I used to wear eyelashes a lot, but I don't wear them anymore. I'm so scared."

She explained how she found an eyelash technician on Facebook-claiming that after messing up her eyelash work, she was overcharged because the beautician refused to hand over her £20 change.

Zowie said this cunning treatment also took three hours—instead of the usual 45 minutes.

She claimed that after so long, her worried boyfriend began to panic that she was kidnapped.

She said that during the treatment, which is usually fairly painless, she felt severe pain-even though the technician tried to assure her that the stinging was normal.

As time passed, her eyes closed because of the violent scratching.

Things got so bad that her boyfriend sent her to the emergency room near their home in Bournemouth, Dorset, the morning after treatment.

Due to the degree of swelling, the doctors tried to keep Ms. Kinnear's eyes open.

She said: "It feels like someone is piercing my eyeballs.

"I'm looking in the mirror and I can hardly open them.

When I opened my eyes, the only thing I could describe was as if someone had put gel in my eyes.

"It's painful-I usually treat pain well, but I shed tears because it is so painful."

The medical staff used professional equipment to pry open Zowie's eyes, and then injected yellow dye into it to see how severe her scratches were.

She said: "I applied bright yellow dye and they said my eyes were scratched.

"When I was discharged from the hospital, I started to get sick.

"I started coughing up all the yellow things they put in my eyes.

"I don't know what happened-there are only yellow things in my nose and mouth. 

"This is terrible. I thought I would go blind and die."

The doctor advised Zowie that she needs to return to the beautician immediately and remove the unreliable eyelash extensions.

However, she said that the beautician-who was not staged by the shocked hospital trip-claimed that she was too busy to help.

In order to sprinkle salt on the wound, she said the beautician did not even apologize or refund. 

Zowie now wants to warn young girls about the dangers of eyelashes and choose a technician you can trust.

Due to the ordeal, her eyeballs were allergic to light, and she found herself wearing sunglasses indoors.

Since then, she bought eyelashes to rekindle her femininity, but couldn't get herself to wear them.

She thought she would never wear any kind of false eyelashes again.
