Eyelashes in my 60s

[blueberrybeer]

I miss the lovely eyelashes of my youth. Even mascara doesn’t make much difference. Has anyone any recommendations for products/treatments suitable for a 64 year old.

Try Rapid Lash

I’ve used the serum for eyebrows and it really did work.

Sorry - wrong website. Better to buy direct from them (there are sometimes fakes)

Thank you, I’ll have a look

I use UK Lash. Amazing results.

Serum is your friend! You have to use it for the full 12 weeks and then upkeep but the results are incredible.

Thank you, I have ordered some. Let’s hope it takes me back to the 80s ( without the hair)

Be careful with using a prostaglandin based lash serum, it can cause fat loss to the under eye and give you a more hollow appearance.

Yes - this was my experience.
It was a pity though as my eyelashes go so so long!

My dsis asked for some for Xmas. I warned her but she wanted it anyway

Dd3 uses false eyelashes but not on a strip, they’re little clusters and are very subtle. Probably more for a night out than a long term solution.

Please don't use it. It has (can have) terrible consequences

Is that the serum associated with changing the colour of your irises or have I got it confused with another?

I'm 64 and have been using Rapid lash for years. I occasionally take a break and my eyelashes revert to stumpy nothingness very quickly.
You need to trust the process, it can take about six weeks to see the results but t it is amazing. I get mine from Amazon.

Which are?

I’ve had fantastic results with UK Lash. I love my long lashes.

My eyelashes are more sparse now. They are pale so I get them dyed but the dye takes longer to work and is harder to apply as my upper eyelid skin is looser.

Vaseline. My eyelashes are still lovely and full.

I use revitalash. It's very good at giving me long eyelashes

However having used it for a few years I've noticed massive changes in my under eye area. I suspect they are related given the known issues with prostaglandin.

I get an eyelash lift and tint, it lasts close to 3 months, and works wonders for my eyelashes. It doesn't pull them out or cause damage. It's basically a coloured perm.

Be careful with UK Lash. I’ve tried it twice, did grow long lashes but after a few weeks my eyelids, both top & bottom turned deep purplish red so that I looked like I had two black eyes. Stopped using it but it took months for the discolouration to fade. I’d never even had a problem with dark circles before.

Thank you for all your comments. I notice Uk lash do a prostaglandin free serum so may give that a try

Would you mind sharing which one you used as they do three. Is it the one with prostaglandin?

I may try that

This. Many lash growth serums contain prostaglandins and they can cause your eyes to change colour to brown, and/or peri orbital fat loss which causes eyes to be hollow and sunken. Look for a brand that states it is prostaglandin free.

I asked a colleague if her magnificent lashes were false and she said not and recommended this mascara:

Apologies for epic link but it's a great mascara and I feel it's given me back my youthful lashes. I'm 62.

Mine lasts 6 weeks max and then there’s the period of half being curled and the other half being new lashes that grow straight so it’s not worth it for me.

I’ve extremely short lashes and was about to buy a serum about a year ago but there’s actually a few threads on here with people saying they had negative effects:(
