Get checked: Hair loss can be due to thyroid problems, among other things. Get checked out by your doctor with appropriate exam and labs. Let us know if anything is found. Make sure you eat a variety of fruits and veggies. Hypoallergenic (fragrance-free) cosmetics,soaps, lotions and detergents might be worth trying to. Any new supplements? Any foods, meds & such that you've started or increased lately?

See a doctor: it could be allergic reaction to the mascara, and might take a longer time for the new eye lashes that is growing to be free from the chemical effect of the mascara could be a systemic illness, like thyroid you need to see a doctor for evaluation and treatment
