Steps For Using Latisse®
Step 1: Wash your hands, remove all makeup, and wash your face so that the application area is clean. If you wear contact lenses, take them out before applying Latisse®.
Step 2: Remove one sterile applicator from its tray or packaging and hold it horizontally. Apply one drop of the Latisse® solution on the applicator. Apply this drop on the area closest to the tip but not directly on the tip.
Step 3: Starting at the inner corner of your eye, brush the applicator along the base of the upper eyelid along the lash line. Do this on the outside of the eyelid, not your waterline. Your eye should be shut during application.
Step 4: With a clean tissue, gently blot any excess Latisse® product that has gone beyond the eyelid.
Step 5: Once you’ve used the applicator on one eyelid, throw it away. Get a new, sterile applicator for use on the other eyelid and repeat steps 1 through 4.
