It doesn't smudge, I didn't get raccoon eyes in the rain, and comes off with plain warm water in "tubes" with no residue. If it helps you decide, I also have oily eyelids - eyeliner never stays on, and Blinc and Fiberwig are the only mascaras that work for me. I just prefer Blinc and Fiberwig is not that easy to find since sephora doesn't carry it anymore.

For those that have used Latisse, did it help grow new lashes? I have very few bottom lashes (a lot fell out after an allergic reaction and never grew back) and was curious as to whether it would help grow them back. Did you get any darkening of the skin under the eyes? I read that was a possible side effect and that's what has me hesitating.
Have you tried eye primer? Supposed to help eyeliner and eye-shadow stay put. Helps with mine anyway.
I don't know about Latisse helping to grow new lashes. I personally find that both my upper and lower lashes are longer than before (I only apply on the top lashes though (like instructed), but not thicker, not on mine. No darkening of the skin under the eyes here. You could try just one bottle and see how it goes. Anyway, whatever happens to you (except the irises, I don't know about that) is temporary and everything goes back to normal after you stop using it.
I suppose that Latisse could help to grow new lashes, but that's not what it's supposed to do (Although, I think that some chemo patients have actually had success in growing new lashes while using Latisse). Latisse is simply supposed to help your existing lashes to grow longer. A typical growth phase for an eyelash is about 1-2 months and then a lash transitions to a "resting phase" where it eventually falls out. Latisse helps lashes to grow longer by keeping lashes in the growth stage for a longer period of time and it stimulates the transition from an inactive growth phase to an active growth phase, therefore, allowing your lashes to grow longer as opposed to falling out as part of their natural cycle. Eventually, lashes will go into a resting phase and naturally fall out, which is why some people take a break from Latisse. When you stop using Latisse, your lashes just go back to exactly the way they were before you started Latisse.
As far as darkening of the skin, yes, I have seen it along my upper eyelid (never along my lower lid though). It's not really a "darkening" because it's more of a slightly pinkish coloring that is extremely minimal and barely noticeable. It doesn't bother me at all and it's not something that I would think anyone would be concerned with because of the fact that it's so very minimal.
