Accepted Answer

It : It is best to apply Latisse (bimatoprost) at night time after you have cleaned your face.  You can then apply your eye make-up normally in the morning.  If you prefer to apply your Latisse (bimatoprost) in the morning, wait 30 minutes to apply eye make-up after apply latisse (bimatoprost). You want to maximize the absorption of the latisse (bimatoprost).  A quick tip to help extend your Latisse (bimatoprost) bottle is to dispense a single drop into the lid of your Latisse (bimatoprost) bottle, take 1 brush from package and insert into the cap with the drop, apply to first eye and then use same brush and insert into the cap with the drop and apply to the other eye.  Alternate starting with right eye/left eye every other day.  It does not take a lot of Latisse (bimatoprost) to get the effect.  This tip will help extend your bottle usually 6-8 weeks.  It will take typically 12-16 weeks to see the full effect of the Latisse (bimatoprost) product.
