Used it for 8 weeks and started to get red upper eyelids and dark red and purple under my eyes (dark circles). I tend to think Latisse works by increasing blood flow to the eyelids. I can even see a lot of fine veins that appeared in my upper eyelids. If you look carefully at some untouched before and after photos, you will see that I’m not the only one who’s eyelid veins become more pronounced! I also believe its making the veins on the sclera (whites) of my eyes stand out more as well!! If you use it, better buy some concealer too!

I’m Asian, with fairly long lashes for an Asian, and have been using Latisse for about a month now. I believe that it will take about 8 to 12 weeks to really see a difference in my lashes (in thickness and length), so I’m sticking with it. You don’t put Latisse if your eye, you use an eyeliner brush to apply it to your upper lash line once a day (like you would apply liquid eyeliner). Because the application area is very limited, I have not seen any noticable difference in color changes to my eyelids or have had any additional redness in my eyes. Again, since the drops are not put directly in your eyes, and are only applied sparingly to the upper lashline, there should be no major side affects by using this product as recommended. I will use it for two more months to see final results, then decide whether this is something I’ll continue with in the long-term (for maintenance).

I know someone who uses lumigan because of an eye condition, he only had to use it in 1 eye – the difference between the lashes on each eye is unbelievable.. this drug has made 1 set of eyelashes look like dramatic fake luscious eyelashes.
However ( a big however), the side effects aren’t very pretty. His upperlid and undereye in that eye have become so dark and purple, and there is more hair growth under that eye as well (when you sleep, some of it will seep and come into contact with surrounding skin). That one eye is also more red than the other eye. Remember there always has to be some sort of “tradeoff” in beauty! You may achieve the long beautiful eyelashes you’ve been lusting for, but you’ll also inherit some ghastly features. I reckon each person will react to it differently, but its good to beware of such potential side-effects!

I am not a Latisse user, but I do use Revitalash and I seriously love what it has done for me! It seems like this product is a bit harsher than other eyelash growth products if you need a perscription to use it. Not to mention, WHAT A PAIN IN THE BUTT!! Why would I go to the doctor for a drug when I can get that same thing over the counter?
