Brow and lash growth?

[Anonymous]

My brows are so sparse, I'd give anything for fuller, thicker brows. Same goes for my lashes, ever since I started wearing falsies my natural lashes have really suffered. Is there anything I can use on both that will make them grow? Or has anyone tried one of the serums they sell on here? Ive heard mixed reviews on castor oil.

If you haven’t yet, try BROWFOOD! It has worked so well for me!! I used Latisse on my lashes in the last and have found that BF works the same, if not better! I honestly couldn’t believe how quickly it worked to fill in my brows AND in aiding them to become much thicker.. (my hairstylist actually noticed before I did... lol) As for lashes, I keep hearing wonderful things about Revitalash... There is also LASHFOOD (I imagine it has to work just as wonderfully) although I haven’t tried either yet... once I become tired of these lash extension applications, I’m sure I’ll try one of the two, or both! Good luck!! 🙂

I have had great results with Shiseido's Full Lash serum! I am on my 2nd tube, and I have 2 more waiting in my drawer because I never want to be without it!

I put a mix of almond oil and vitamin E oil on my lashes and brows at night as part of my night time routine This is two and a half years apart

I have the same problem with brows from years of overplucking/keeping them very thin. I have had excellent results using RevitaBrow daily and getting my brows professionally shaped once a month (i.e., no waxing/threading). I have been using it for about 4 months. There are some patches where growth has been harder (probably bc follicles are more damaged), but overall I have had significant growth and find that if I focus the serum on particular areas of my brow that I will see growth there. I am constantly getting compliments on my eyebrows now. I am very skeptical of growth serums generally, but I have recommended it to several friends, and given my results I am now considering buying RevitaLash because I have somewhat sparse lashes.

Hi RTMakeup!

Over a year ago I noticed that my eyelashes were becoming sparse as well as my eyebrows.  I started using RapidLash and definitely saw an improvement, I used the same serum on my eyebrows and it also seemed to work.  It did take a good 6-8 weeks for me to notice any results.  After about a year though, it stopped working.  And I started using RevitaLash and this actually worked even better than RapidLash.  Again, it took 6-8 weeks for me to actually see any difference.  The picture below is after 2 months.  The upper left hand corner is after 2 months and the bottom right corner is when I started.  The other 2 pics (upper right and bottom left) are the progression in between.  I've also heard great things about Grande Lash mascara but I haven't tried it yet. I haven't tried the castor oil either but I've heard that it works for some people.  It's pretty cheap so it may be worth a try, although it seems that some people may have sensitivity to it, so you'd have to test it out to make sure you're not allergic to it.  I hope this is helpful!

Definitely get the kevyn aucoin lash curler and better than sex waterproof mascara. I too have stubborn short lashes and that combo did the trick. You can also try lash paradise in waterproof by L'Oréal

Hi there, 

I have naturally horrible lashes because I am of asian descent, they are short, coarse but thin, and do not hold a curl regardless of what I do.  I have spent countless dollars on different mascaras and fibers, finally going to false lashes.  My dermatologist had an ad for NutraLuxe Lash MD, a lash serum. I tried it and it works. It contains the active ingredient in Latisse, but the wording and claims on the packaging make it non-prescription.  It took a full 3 months, but I saw improvement and growth after just 2 months.  Sephora carries GrandeLash MD, it has the same active ingredient.  I know 3 people who use a prostaglandin based eyelash serum, none of them have had the iris-darkening effect it warns may happen.  I did notice it darkens the skin around your eye it touches..the upper and lower lashlines.  It is temporary and I cannot detect it under my normal makeup and concealer.  I have never used the mascara, but the serum is worth every penny and I wish I'd discovered it sooner.

Sephora sells this...GrandeLash MD. 

Here's an article regarding prostaglandins, the active ingredient....
