Yes. To include perfect eyebrows.

I on the other hand -- use Latisse - ha!

I find myself envious of my boys lashes

Has anyone else noticed this?

If yes, what do you make of it?

I think it's your imagination.

Interesting theories… I’m a woman, with southern European origins and I have lots of hair, thick eyebrows - but short, albeit black, eyelashes. I don’t wear mascara so it isn’t that.

We have long eyelashes to protect our eyes from sun and dust and wind while hunting where as women did not need that as they tended to children and the house to stay out of dangerous situations and weather conditions. Not saying they never went outside but just my opinion believe it is because we were in harsher conditions.
Not to be taken as sexist.

Instead of a crazy inherited environmental characteristic theories, let's pretend testosterone plays a role in hair growth.

Yup, my DH and DS have beautiful, long lashes. Italian.

Agreed.

Ridiculously long, lush, thick lashes, I have seen in men. Women have to use eyeliners...

waaah....we are not even the fairer sex!!!

But the trade off is that it comes with other facial hair, like sideburns and mustache. As seen on harry women.

How unnerving that must be.

Lumigan and Latisse are the same exact thing. The drug companies figured out the side effect of eyelash growth, and decided to make more money off of it by marketing it under a different name and charging hundreds of dollars. I'm a female who works in the eye care field and I take samples of lumigan from work to use on my eyelashes (shhhhh). For the blue eyed people concerned about Latisse changing your iris color, yes this can happen....but just don't put it in your eye! If using it for eyelash growth it is only going on the lash margin, not in the eye..just apply it very carefully.
