I don’t know why, but suddenly, having long, thick eyelashes is like having the latest It bag: All of the cool girls seem to have them, and it definitely makes a statement.

Though everyone raves about Latisse, I know that some people are worried about changing their eye color. My eyes are the color of wet mud, so that’s not much of a concern for me, but I personally worry about the skin staining effects.
Enter Wink Natural Cosmetics Eyelash and Eyebrow Enhancer ($39, FutureDerm.com/Shop), I was super excited when I found this company, with a technology developed by an MIT graduate.
Wink Natural Cosmetics Eyelash and Eyebrow Enhancer contains essential fatty acids (EFAs) that are proven to stimulate the hair follicle to move from the “resting” phase (telogen) and to enter the “active” phase (anagen).
How this works, interestingly enough, may be related to Latisse. Bear with me: Latisse is a prostaglanoid called bimatoprost. Latisse works in part by moving hair follicles from resting to active phase.
On the other hand, essential fatty acids have been found to increase prostaglandin/prostaglanoid production in individuals with a deficiency (Medical Hypotheses, 1980). So by supplementing your eyelash follicles with essential fatty acids, you may be stimulating prostaglanoid production naturally, resulting in fuller and possibly longer lashes.
