Wouldn’t you just love to have long, luscious eyelashes? I know I would. Unfortunately, the gene pool is what it is, which means most of us will never have that power to blink our eyes and make heads turn without a little artificial help.

Well, genes and false lashes may be a thing of the past as far as flirtatious eyes are concerned. A drug called Lumigan, which is used to treat the debilitating eye disease Glaucoma, has shown some interesting side effects. It seems that those who were using it saw longer, daker and thicker eyelashes in the eye being treated for Glaucoma.

Further studies on the drug have proved so promising that the company plans to apply for a cosmetic licence in the US.

It is thought the drug's hormone-like formulation stimulates the growth. If it gets the go-ahead, you can guarantee this will be a best seller amongst men and women alike.
