Be careful using Qtips around your eyes because the cotton fibers can easily get *in* to your eye and once they're there, it's a pain in the *ss to remove it!! Almost as bad as chasing the allusive cat hair.... |

Yes Carrie, I agree about the q-tips. They can be quite a bugger if the fibers get in your eye. I have these things that are not quite q-tips, they're supposed to be cosmetic applicators - they're pointy on each end. I find those work around the eye area without getting the fibers in your eye. I use them to get smudges off too. Don't know if these would be any better for her tho.

Just been putting a smidge on my fingertip & rubbing along my lashes-it only burns when I accidentally get it in my eye. I just wasn't sure I was getting any on the lashes themselves using this method-a Q-tip is a great suggestion!
Thanks,

I wanted to share how I now apply the Lucia, which works best for me. By using my finger I was wasting some Lucia because the liquid ended up on my skin(lids) area where I didn't need it. And I certainly don't need sudden hair growth on those areas. I needed a skinnier applicator than my pinky finger. So, now this is what I do...
As I hold the Lucia tube with the hole facing up, I very gently squeeze a small drop which runs out the top of the tube and runs down the black applicator portion of the tube... then I apply that portion(the black tube which is now wet) to my eyelashes from the root to the tip of the lashes. It's all covered when I'm done. Then I do the same for my eyebrows covering only the unplucked area where I want fuller brows. I cover the entire brow, cause they are thin. The only thing I use my pinky finger for is to clean up itty bitty left-over Lucia from that tube portion... and I apply that teeny bit of liquid to my lashes or brows. So, basically I'm using a total of 4 drops... 1 for right eyebrow, 1 for left eyebrow, and 1 for right lashes, 1 for left lashes. I hope I'm not overdoing it and wasting, but I want to make sure I don't miss anything. I just want to cover all of it to the roots.

Ive been pretty much doing the same thing. Squeezing a drop on my finger, one drop for the upper lashes and another for the lower lashes. I still think im using too much though! keep wondering if im doing it right but there doesn't seem to be another way to do it. My lower lashes definately look longer though so it must be working  |

Blimey! I'm worried now that I'm not using enough! 
I only use one drop and it seems to coat upper and lower lashes on both eyes. Should I be using more? |

| I think you just need to use whatever you feel is the appropriate amount. Just as long as your lashes are coated in it. I think I use too much and could probably get away with just using one drop per eye. |

| Yes, I also got my Lucia from maimeow on eBay. She was very helpful and my Lucia was delivered to the UK in less than a week, if I remember correctly. |
