A friend told me that if you put on mascara too much that it can do damage to your eye lashes and potentially have them fall out/chip. Is this true?

Do you sleep with your mascara on? What brand mascara are you using? Use a really good mascara, not to be worn too heavily and certainly not some cheap brand or generic brand. There is alot of good mascaras out there that you can use and it is also important not too wear it heavy. Don't sleep without taking your makeup off. Mascara does get very dry and that's what breaks the eyelashes. Also clumping, due to excessive amounts of mascara will pull the lashes out. To remove the mascara. Use a good makeup remover or just plain ole baby oil. This loosen the mascara and breaks it up really good and then wash your face and your eye area really well with soap and water to get the oil off. Hint: Baby oil is cheaper and that you can buy the store brand. Baby oil is baby oil. They make makeup remover oils, but why pay more for what is basically baby oil. Use soft cotton balls also, not cotton squares. You should take care in removing any eye makeup, as that also is a good way to not cause damage to your eyelashes. Those eyelashe curlers.......don't use them!
The mascara sticks to the rubber on the tongs and will pull your lashes out. Can pull and will pull more than one all at one time, too.

Most mascaras now have conditioners to help your lashes look fuller, however.....
Taking mascara off, and rubbing your eyes can damage the lashes.
If you have naturally dark or full lashes already, try using a lash comb to just brush in a bit of vaseline - makes the lashes look wonderful! Ive been doing this for a few years now, and constantly get compliments on my lashes and how "natural" they look...

If you leave mascara on overnight, then yes, it can make lashes weak and brittle, but wearing it everyday won't make them weak.

If you sleep with it, it can, especially if it is waterproof mascara. So make sure you wash your make-up off before you sleep.

No, it you put a lot on it looks chunky and ugly but not break off your lashes.
