Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do you get LATISSE® on your eyelashes?
Ensure the face is clean, remove all makeup and contact lenses, and apply all facial care products. Carefully apply one drop of LATISSE® topical solution to the disposable sterile applicator supplied in the package. Apply evenly along the skin of the upper eyelid at the base of the eyelid. The upper lid in the area of lash growth should feel slightly moist without run-off. Blot any excess solution runoff outside the upper lid with a tissue, q-tip, or other absorbent cloth. Dispose of the applicator after one use and then repeat for the opposite upper eyelid margin using a new sterile applicator.
