Latisse for the Lower Lashes

According to the manufacturer's directions, Latisse should be applied daily using a disposable brush which is included with product.

Application of Latisse

Latisse is FDA approved for use on the upper eyelids at bedtime.  Application to the lower eye lids may increase skin pigmentation and hair growth outside of the eyelid margin, if the drop runs down the eyelid margin or face.  Application to the upper eyelid will help both the upper and lower lashes.

Proper application of Latisse to grow Longer Eyelashes

Latisse needs to be applied to the edge of the upper lid at night time. It is not applied to the edge of the lower lid because it does not have to be.
