You’ll soon be able to get longer eyelashes by taking the glaucoma drug Lumigan. The Associated press reports that government experts have determined that Lumigan, a product from the company Allergan “appears to be a safe and effective way to make eyelashes longer and fuller”.

If you’re African-American you might not want to get too excited at the prospect of longer lashes just yet. It seems there was only 1 African-American included in the trials that were conducted to see if the Glaucoma drug could safely and effectively grow women’s eye-lashes.
