I came across this article during my Latisse googling: Claims that Claire Danes suffered eyelid pigmentation from using Latisse. Her management have quashed the claims and threatened legal action if they continued.
She does a really enthusiastic video testimonial on the Allergan Latisse website here. I can't see any evidence of skin darkening on her gallery photos but they look airbrushed anyway so hard to tell. Even if it was true though, it's something that wouldn't bother me enormously. It is reversible so if I was unlucky enough to get it I could just stop. Personally haven't noticed any skin change at all. My eyes did feel a bit irritated intially but I still don't know how much of that was Latisse and how much was colder, drier weather and lots of heating indoors.
I've learnt most from reviews on Real Self and Makeup Alley. MakeupAlley requires you to sign up to see all the content and search but it's free and worth it! People have reported skin discolouration but it doesn't sound like the discolouration in the article. Some had redness and some said they looked more tired when it transferred to lower lid. It doesn't sound as dramatic as the Claire Danes claims!
I'm still keeping my fingers crossed and continuing. I've been using thinner disposable eyeliner brushes to be more precise in the application-find the brushes in the pack too clumsy and they end up treating a lot of my lid. Time will tell!
As an aside, I think Brooke Shields does a pretty woeful job of selling the product in her video diary. I could summon up more enthusiasm with only the idea that it may be working!
