Dear Editor,
This is in no way bashing women, but, as a man it is becoming increasingly concerned about the growing popularity of lash extensions among women today.
For many women, lash extensions are more than just a beauty trend; it has become a form of self-expression, confidence, and convenience.
In today’s fast-paced world, some women are juggling multiple roles and responsibilities, and some lash extensions may seem like a simple way to wake up looking fresh and put-together without spending extra time on mascara or eye makeup.
However, some females with these butterfly wings can hardly keep their eyes open.
Editor, don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with these women pumping up their lashes for some extra brightness on the face or as some would say ‘added beauty’. But some of these lashes are so long you can actually sit on them and scroll through tiktok.
Aren’t these lashes heavy on their face?
Apart from it being long, some of these lashes cost like Three Hundred and Fifty Dollars just for installation, according to a friend.
Sometimes this makes me wonder if these women don’t have anything better to do with Three Hundred and Fifty Dollars, instead of putting mink lashes.
While beauty routines vary from person to person, what matters most is how they make you feel.
Whether it’s lipstick, lash extensions, a fresh hairstyle, or makeup, every woman deserves the freedom to define beauty on her own terms.
But some of these lashes are too extreme.
It is almost impossible to even look at these women’s faces. What doubles it, is that some of these women are bank tellers, we have to look in their faces. Some of them are selling at fast food franchises.
Some of these women’s eyes become so red, it seems as if these lashes are even irritating their eyes. So editor, I really have some questions for these women.
Why do you allow yourself to suffer because of beauty? Does beauty have to be so extreme? Can’t it just be soft and beautiful rather than loud and pathetic?
Everyone seems to be so much into these lashes, you see the young women and the old ones as well, and am wondering, why is everyone so trying to be in the in-thing? Is it necessary?

As a woman I find it ridiculous!
Long gone are the days of using cosmetics to enhance what you naturally have. Now it’s to fake what you don’t have.
One bat from some of these lashes and you feel a strong breeze. But here we go again following the black American culture where it is usually the loud, ratchet ones who are wearing these excessive accessories.
People think too much of lashes. it just a little beauty enhancement… nothing more.. lol
Everyone needs to drink water and mind their business. If it’s not taking money out of your pocket and food out of your children’s mouth leave the the hell alone. I’m not sure if it’s your parents that raised you to be so opinionated but you’re not enlightening anyone.
As a woman of a certain age who believes in being natural and therefore does not wear makeup or false eyelashes extensions or wigs, I think this eyelash thing reflects poor self esteem. One should be confident in their own skin..the skin that the Almighty has blessed you with. Just tale care of it all. All these trends are harmful and in most cases life threatening. Theses lashes, for example, can permanently harm your eyes. There’s been an uptick of cancer in the Caribbean. Could this be related to the uptick in make up and lipstick/ lip gloss wearing among Caribbean women? Have you ever stopped and taken a look at the ingredients in your makeup for example? Do you know that your skin, being your largest organ, absorbs into your bloodstream whatever you put on it? So don’t just jump onto a trend. Instead, do your due diligence because your life (or your eyesight) may just depend on it.
Who is this hater who wrote that letter? Find something better to do with ur time please. What wrong with lashes?
What I don’t see is any beauty in the literal sense, being added to the women who wear these things. It’s just like the nails they wear, they are just fashion trends and as we all know fashion does not fit every body
Here again, another female thing becoming a male issue. How a female with lashes become a problem to you Lincoln? I mean, i don’t do lashes but these people are comfortable with their long lashes like fans or as you say ‘butterfly wings’. That shouldn’t be a problem to you sir
LOl…. Some women do really overdo it, sometimes they can’t even open they eyes and see properly. Both top and bottom have… they does really be doing the most.
Why do males always have an issue with what females do with their body. then go behind the same women. like come on choose a side.
u seem to love man tbh
so many messed up things happening in antigua and u writing about lashes ? u inna wan glass closet 😂😂😂
Pocket Watching Lincoln why you dont mind the business that pays you? Suppose women dont want you to see their eyes. Suppose they adorn themselves for their own satisfaction? Who made you the judge of whats soft and beautiful? Go be concerned about YOUR appearance and your own health. When last you had a health checkup? Prostate screening? STD testing? Listen, go worry about yourself and spare us your fake ‘concern for women’.
big man worrying about lashes ? you wanna come to coochie world or something?? 😂😂
As a female I have to agree. The heavy lashes do look rather distasteful. On the other hand, the classic and hybrid sets aren’t to bad.
so many messed up things going on in this country and you writing bout lashes ? that’s what’s on your mind sir? 😂😂😂 the closet is glass!
I feel like you are gay for even being worried about a woman lashes when Antigua has more pressing issues that a woman’s preference in her eye lashes if that what she likes that’s what she likes it no concern of yours. Just saying 😘
some of y’all men talking about eyelashes are the same ones who walk around like vagrants! aru lef home and na wash aru kin- foot white white, smell lakka bed 🤢, mout corner white, nails dutty dutty and battom tink tink. worry about what y’all have going on and stop acting like y’all don’t like women. if you’re not attracted to a woman, look off and go bout ya bomboclaat business aru chat too much !

I’ve noticed a trend where some women choose very bold looks—like heavy makeup, dramatic lashes, revealing outfits, lots of body modifications. While everyone has the right to express themselves how they want, sometimes it feels like the focus on appearance and certain behaviors overshadows deeper qualities like confidence, intelligence, or self-respect. I just wish more women embraced their natural beauty and carried themselves with pride and dignity. Some of you look awful 😖 and love too much man 🤢
You don’t have to agree with the man but that doesn’t mean he’s gay.
Some women say that there’s pressure to look a certain way but when people, including men say there’s an option to look like yourself, women get mad.
Women are so attached to fakeness that they take it as a personal affront when someone isn’t a fan of a PRODUCT they’ve attached to their body.
This person is miserable no hell. First water bottles and large cups now f***ing lashes. Ah wah ah fu u money them ah use to but them f****ing lashes. Mussa one closeted ghay ya be fu so pressed like a pinini sandwich. Drink ya water and mind ya fugging business
Well I think womems are beutiful the way god create us , we should express more our natural beuty,
Because really and truly some womems over do .
If I were a man I would shoose natural beuty 10 out of 10.
I agree with the writer, it’s looks unattractive and unsightly🫣
Antigua people love to follow fashion even if the fashion don’t suit us😅
first it was WATER MUGS
then it was BOYS WEARING BONNETS
now it’s FALSE EYELASHES
What next????
The trend of Ladies profiling butter fly wing Eyelashes was popularized by Hood Rats, 🐀 Chicken Heads, 🐔 and Ghetto Queens 👸 craving the attention of Gangstas and desperate Men. I guess it aids in providing shelter and protection from the elements : wind, dust, rain, and sunlight. 😁
WHAT THE HELL…? …BUTTERFLY LASHES…?

Not sure why the ‘…Letter Writer,’ a seemingly a darn ‘…MALE CHAUVINIST.’

LEAVE THE DARN WOMEN ALONE.

TODAY, QUICKER SEE A FEMALE, THAN A ‘…BUTTERFLY.’

Beauty is the eyes of the beholder.

Just a trend; it will pass too. Obviously a male counter-part pays at times. My concer is the long term effects from some of the ingredients in the glue. Do some more research and get back to us. Add; weave extensions and some everyday food items while you’re at it. That is if you’re really concern.
As a guy, I have to say, these lash extensions are like the superhero capes for women. I mean, one minute they’re looking all sweet and innocent, and the next, bam! Honestly I was shocked when I went into a restaurant on Heritage Quay and I saw the most beautiful woman from behind. Very cury and thick and plump just like we black men like them. Then of course I said “pppssstttttttt”. She turned around and the first thing that greeted me were these lashes. This girl, im thinking no more that 26, got lashes that could take off in a strong gust of wind. It’s like they’re ready to fly away to a whole new level of glam. I love my Caribbean women but nahhhhhhhhh this is a bit much. RESPECT to this news platform for addressing a matter that many of us men are just thinking and not saying.
Never had my comment removed but them lashes on dem chick’s need to go. ANR yall brave. I know some of them.girls be thinking the same but afraid to say it to another sister. Hahahah. This one is soooo insensitive but true
LMAO@ butterfly wings. To each his own. what about those with the butterfly lashes plus the baby hairs greeting each other in their forehead? 😂😂
so while a bag of woman in the comment section a throw wud to bash.
some of the lashes nice those simple ones but them big ole push broom fkery looks nasty and as all trend that starts as a sex worker eye protection from getting jizzed on her eyes while welp she on her knees. aka they are CUMBRELLA’s you free to look it up and its history why its called that.
while you at it by all means go on about changing its meaning to justify the cumbrella.
but while imma subject myself again… the nice simple ones looks alright but the fkery once them that just look like a dead caterpillar is just weird and nasty to look at and those generally have a very particular stereotype with it, you can deny and say whatever but facts a fact and that wont change
