Can I use use eyeshadow applicator brushes instead to apply my Latisse?

Question

Ava T. Shamban, MD · Answer

Yes, if you can't use the original Latisse brushes then you can use a thin eye liner brush to apply Latisse. It will give more precision than a normal shadow brush.

Sheila S. Nazarian, MD · Answer

I don't think that's a good idea. You want to be able to precisely control the amount of latisse applied and where. It's best to use the applicator brush that comes in the package or a very fine eyeliner brush but then make sure to clean it thoroughly after each use. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Rachel Streu, MD, FACS · Answer

I suggest using the applicators that come with
Latisse. The recommended usage is one applicator per eye, but some of my
patients tell me that they use one for both eyes and then dispose of that
applicator. The issue with eyeshadow applicators is that they often have a
sponge tip that will absorb the product. That means less will go to the lash
bed and that may affect the results. Also, unless you are using a new eyeshadow
applicator with each use, it won’t be as sanitary.

Thank you for your question. It is not recommended to use a different brush than the one provided, the applicators in the box were designed for the product and ensure you are despensing the appropriate amount for best results. An eyeshadow applicator may absorb to much of the product. Best wishes,Pablo Prichard MD

Benjamin Barankin, MD, FRCPC · Answer

The Latisse applicator was specifically designed for applying Latisse. That said, if you're able to carefully apply in a similar manner with a different brush which doesn't absorb too much product (wasteful/costly), then there should be no issue.
