Hello Hoosier,
Your question is located here: Will using Latisse cause my entire eyelid to darken? and is awaiting a doctor's reply.

In addition, this week(month four), I have noticed that I no longer have excess skin hanging over my eyes, presumably due to a total loss of orbital fat.
Since my eyes appear severely hollow, I am forced to wear light shimmery shadow above and below the lids.
Hopefully, after month four, things will adjust a wee bit back to normal. I am using Bimatoprost.
My entire upper eyelids slowly turned a dark pinkish/purple color, NOT attractive, and for the commentor who said "think of it as eyeliner", it's not the kind of eyeliner I want!
I developed very severe dark purple under eye discoloration and sunkeness. I looked like I was dying. My husband and friends all commented on how terrible I looked.
These side effects developed over about 6 months of use and were just getting worse so I stopped using Latisse.
2 months later the undereye discoloration and sunkeness have largely disappeared but I still have discoloration on my upper lids.
Also, I had lovely greenish brown eyes and now the green is all gone.
I would discourage ANYONE from using Latisse unless you have a medical reason for doing so. The side effects were terrible for me.
I've been using Latisse for about a year and have never experienced discoloration. My skin is *not* sensitive to products, so perhaps I've been lucky. Or maybe I should thank the camouflage of my olive skin tone.
