eyelashes
SayY-lash-iz/ˈaɪlæʃɪz/
- 1Plural of eyelash.
Snowflakes settled on her eyelashes as she walked through the storm.
The makeup artist curled the model's eyelashes before the shoot.
Note
A regular plural with a spelling point worth noticing: because eyelash ends in -sh, it takes -es rather than a bare -s, and that ending adds a syllable in speech. The plural is the form you will meet most often, since the hairs grow in a row along the edge of each eyelid. The singular is kept for one hair on its own, such as a stray one on the cheek.
