I like started to wear eye makeup, and I pretty much have naturally long eyelashes, but they are starting to look shorter...is this some sort of illusion or do they really shrink?

No, because you're getting used to seeing your eyelashes w/ mascara, when you take it off your natural eyelashes appear shorter, just like when you put mascara on, they appear even longer than they are.

No, what happens is mascara will dry your eyelashes out, especially if not removed with eye make up remover. And so they fall out more than when you didn't wear it and so you have new growth more often. Eye lashes have their 'program' for how long they are going to be for us.
It is always good to buy a good quality known brand of mascara and remover and NEVER EVER lend your mascara to someone else and NEVER EVER use someone else's mascara. You do not need eye infections and mascara is one of the 'germiest' products we use. We use it, put it back into its tube and then use it again etc., so if it only has our 'germs' we are okay. Also, it is always advisable to only use the same mascara for three months to stop any possible eye infection problems.
Wish I had long eye lashes.

Mascara is meant to elongate the eyelashes. The fact that you feel that yours are shorter is probably because you are used to seeing them lay straight out without any mascara on them. Once mascara is applyed it gives them a curl upwards, which might give the illusion that your eyelashes are shorter.

i dont think it suppose to make your eyelashes shrink...i think it all depends on what kinda mascara you use cuase some can make your eyelashes longer and others can make them kinda curled. i don't know what happens when theres an allergic reaction from wearing mascara but maybe that can be something to look into.

No. their actually made to lengthen your lashes but when you take mascara off your lashes a shorter and then you have to keep using mascara to get them long

no, but if you don't wash off your mascara at night, or keep it on for long periods of time, your eyelashes can become damaged and fall out or break.
