Hard to say without an example. Can you upload a stripped down scene file that demonstrates the problem? Don't forget to .zip it first.

Thanks for the reply. I dont know what you mean a stripped down scene file? and not sure if it will upload on here but i attached an image what i mean. This is what i have been always doing for eyelashes.
I also tried to connect black color for the diffuse but nothing changes. On the shader i see the eyelashes but not on the model.

Stripped down, as in a scene where everything has been removed except for the elements that are the problem, in this case, just the geometry of the eyelashes and the texture you are applying to them, and the basic scene render settings you are using. That screen shot doesn't really tell enough about what else is going on to offer any useful suggestions.

Try deleting everything in the scene that does not apply to the problem, all geometry, textures, lights, animation rigs, etc., leaving just the elements in question. Save that as a new project. Compress that project folder into a .zip file and use the "upload attachment" button to add the zipped file to your post.

looks like some of you downloaded the file, so any idea why the eyelashes don't show up?

checked now! You extremely stripped down your scene. At least add some textures.
As I could see from your setup, there's nothing special. If you didn't delete some critical textures.

Yes, there's something funky going on with the eyelash geometry, I think, not the material, but I'm a bit to busy at the moment to dig into it. As Ahmet mentioned, your actual opacity texture was not included, so I knocked one together based on your screenshot. I'll try to follow up on this later this afternoon.
