Semi-Permanent Eyelashes Leaves Woman With Severe Skin Infection Just like everyone else these days, Maroondah Leader wanted long, luscious lashes. And when mascara no longer cut it, she turned to semi-permanent extensions applied by her local beauty salon. Three hours after getting her lashes fitted, she noticed a ferocious rash spreading all over her face.

"I didn't think anything of it at first, but three hours later I noticed the rash had spread all over my face," she told Look. Her entire face felt like it was on fire, so she did what most of us would do in the scenario -- wash off our makeup and hit the hay with the hopes that the swelling would subside the following morning. In Leader's case, she woke up with white boils everywhere. After an emergency visit to her doctor, she was diagnosed with Staphylococcus, or a staph infection.

Thankfully, she caught the bacterial infection early and was given antibiotics, but her lifelong message to beauty lovers near and far is to head to sanitary and respectable salons for any and all procedures.
