Latisse an easy choice for longer lashes

The main cons of Latisse: 1) It stops working when you stop using it 2) Expense 3) Doesn't make white lashes darker or longer 4) Hassle of using it nightly Where to get Latisse: You need a prescription. Since Latisse was originally a glaucoma drug, ophthalmologists have the most long-term experience with this medication. But pretty much any physician can get it for you, and Latisse is a pretty simple drug to use.
