Latisse on my Short Asian Lashes and my Overplucked Eyebrows - Los Angeles, CA
ORIGINAL POST
I was blessed with short, straight Asian eyelashes...

WORTH IT$120
I was blessed with short, straight Asian eyelashes and didn't want to spend all the time and money to get extensions so I'm giving Latisse a chance. I'm also going against the directions and trying it on my overplucked eyebrows as well.
The brushes that come with the Latisse are these awful thick plastic things... the kind that comes with a 99 cent kid's watercoloring set. Those would get the Latisse everywhere so I threw those away and ordered some disposable fine tipped eyeliner brushes from eBay.
It's only been 2 weeks so I haven't noticed any lengthening or thickness yet. We'll see how it goes.

Finally hit the 1 month mark! I was really hoping for some results by now, seeing as some lucky people have visible results after a month. Patience...
I see no lengthening of the eyelashes but I think it may be a bit thicker? No change in eyebrows yet.

Hang in there. The directions say you need to use it every night for 12 weeks to see improvement. I first noticed that each lash felt thicker but I did not get more lashes for a while.

I'm hanging in there and crossing my fingers that I don't get any of the bad side effects I keep reading about.

Hi there!! Yes it will take 12-16 weeks. It will work (it did for me). Didn't do much in my eyebrows though. Eyelashes.. Amazing!

I'm not Asian but also have straight short eyelashes. After a month they were thicker, 2 months longer and straight. Three months darker, longer, thicker & curved. It was slower for me but now they look as good as extensions! Hang in there.

Yes mine took a month at least. Longer, thicker even darker than my usual black lash. I have some irritation but it went away overtime.

Hi,
Did anyone else experience irritation on your lashline when using latisse nightly? After about 3 weeks of applying the product nightly. My skin became raw and extremely sensitive and I could only use the product at most two or three times a week. Just wondering if anyone had a similar experience?
It's sad because it was working and my lashes are too weak to do eyelash extensions often.

Finally some visible results after 12 weeks.

After not seeing any results after 8 weeks, I was beginning to wonder if it would work. I started to grow tiny hairs in that area between my eyes and my eyebrows as well as that part on the outside corner of my eyes on my cheeks so I know the product must work somewhat. It seems that it dribbles off and goes to work in unwanted areas though.
I did notice my eyebrows getting darker and sprouting some baby hairs around it so I'm hopeful.
At 12 weeks I was finally able to notice some length in my eyelashes (mostly on the outside). Before that I kept staring at photos and thinking that it might be longer? or thicker? or just wishful thinking... I wasn't sure.
I'm looking forward to more lengthening though because this would not make it worth it, but I'm hopeful now!!

I used laissee for two years, then stopped. My lashes didn't get longer but they did get thicker and didn't fall out as much. I started taking biotin for my hair and noticed that it did double duty, my lashes stayed thick and strong, so stopped the pricey lastisse and moved to the suppliment. I did use latisse on my brows and they too go thicker, but the biotin is doing the same. I'm African American, I think the product works best on Caucasians, just my take. Good luck.

I'm a major fan of Latisse results and have several friends with Asian lashes :) Mine were so short, straight and didn't grow using anything but Latisse...but If your interested, I switched to a much cheaper brand Canadian Careprost and Lash4i -both are Bimatoprost (spelling?) products -same ingredient as Latisse and both work great!!! My co worker who's Cambodian started using Canadian Careprost and the results are amazing, she looks like she has added extensions !! So if you want to keep using the product and save a lot of money, I'd try one of these. They also send you the exact applicator you have pics of too. I usually buy a few more as well.

Hi! thanks! I did order some careprost from india but I was scared to put it on my eyelashes so I just used it for my eyebrows and I can tell that it is definitely working on my eyebrows.

lol! I totally under stand! A co worker of mine ordered some from Amazon and right away she was suspicious it was fake and stopped using it. I always suggest if you want to use Latisse /Careprost order from canadiancareprost.com - they are a licensed supplier, legit product and guarantee delivery. Customer service has been out standing too, my order ended up in a neighbors box and they were right on it and got me my order out again.

I also cut out half of the bristles from the brushes that come with latisse and use them. It saves a lot of product.
