Hi ladies -
I googled Latisse - it sounded familiar. Here it is: "Latisse is a drug currently promoted by spokesmodel Brooke Shields that is applied to the base of eyelashes to generate longer lashes. Latisse keeps hairs in their growth phase, producing longer, darker and thicker eyelashes. Latisse is a lower concentration of the drug Lumigan. Average cost of Latisse is $130. Latisse eyelash lengthening is not permanent. Possible side-effects include discoloration of the eye or eyelid."
Then I remembered discussing it with my 48-year old daughter. She wanted to try it but was concerned about losing the color of her gorgeous hazel eyes. I said "don't you dare!"
Personally, with BEB, I find the use of any cosmetics difficult. I'm 72 years old, but still care about how I look when I dress up and go out. (When I'm hanging around the house, or running to the store in sweats, no problem.) What I do is use subtle color or smoke in the crease under the brow and a smudge of color/smoke under the eye. It looks pretty OK. I leave the lashes alone.
I also find that eye make up remover and eye wrinkle creams sting my eyes, especially after I've had Botox. (I used to just slather the stuff on but can't anymore.) I use Q-tips and take great care not to leave anything on that might travel to the eyes.
