Why is it feminine?
Pestañas (eyelash) is feminine because it derives from Latin "pectinata," the feminine form of "pectinatus" (combed, from "pecten" meaning comb). Spanish inherited the feminine grammatical gender from this Latin feminine adjective, which was grammaticalized into a noun form. The -a ending in Spanish regularly corresponds to feminine gender, and this feminine gender marker was preserved through the phonetic evolution from Latin to Spanish.
