I heard this is what Joan Crawford did.

[quote]Eyebrows. Here's how to cultivate them, according to Joan in MWOL: I encourage new growth by using castor oil and yellow vaseline--half and half--and rubbing it the wrong way, toward the nose, with a brush...it makes the brows grow like mad...Brows frame the eyes. Encourage them, for they're a great beauty asset.

[quote]According to Boze Hadleigh's book "Bette Speaks," Bette [Davis] said of Joan (and brows): She did have wonderful cheekbones. And a good mouth--she copied my generous lipline and then my natural eyebrows, but with her, she went overboard on everything. Those eyebrows wound up looking like African caterpillars! (Thanks, Elena, for the exact quote from the Hadleigh book.)

I believe the yellow vaseline she's referring to is A & D Ointment, which is basically vitamin-fortified Vaseline. I tried it a few times, but quickly gave it up, since I toss and turn a lot in my sleep, and didn't like have my pillowcase and face covered in the stuff when I'd get up in the morning. And I certainly wouldn't go around during the day with that stuff on.

No idea, but Latisse/Lumigan does. Lumigan costs only €13 in Europe.

If you're an old man, making your eyebrows grow isn't a problem The problem is stopping it. Also, nose and ear hairs.

Seems to me that anything that clogs your hair follicles probably would not contribute to growth.
