Instead, you must apply it to the upper eyelid, using a special type of applicator brush, such as the one available here. You may apply it to the upper eyelid, but not the lower eyelid. It is important to clean any of the solution that gets on the skin surrounding the eye. It may take up to 2 months before the effects of this treatment on your eyelashes are noticed.
