I've been using Latisse on my eyelashes for a loooooong time now, on and off, for 2 years. I never told anybody I was using it. Then last christmas my cousin came to visit and THE FIRST thing she said when she looked at me was "Are you wearing contacts?" And I was like "No, lol, WHY?" She said: "Your eyes look lighter!". I didn't care and thought she was crazy. But then, few days later, 2 more people commented on my eye color! Is that possible??? I have dark brown eyes and pale skin!

All medications like Latisse as well as treatments that are used for cosmetic purposes should be discontinued during pregnancy. There are no studies to show it is safe, nor are there ever likely to be such studies done.
Most likely this is a form of alopecia areata and you should see a dermatologist to confirm this diagnosis. Trichotilomania was suggested as well, but his condition results in patchy hair loss due to twisting and pulling of hair, usually on the scalp. If one sees sudden onset of hair loss...
Latisse is only FDA approved for the eyelashes, however there are reports that it can achieve an improvement for brows as well. This would be an off label use, however.
