Sensitive Eyes & Makeup: Solutions for Allergy-Related Irritation


Question
I have used Clinique products for about 40 years. I have always had a problem with it to close to my eyes.  Now it makes my eyes water so bad that I can't get it near them.  Foundation, mascara, eyeliner.  What can I use?

Answer
Dear Judi~

Are you sure it's the makeup causing the problem or did you recently switch to a different eye or face moisturizer?  If you have, an ingredient in the eye cream or moisturizer could be the culprit.  If not, and you truly think it's the makeup, I don't have an easy answer for you as you will have to shop a variety of products to see what works performance-wise and comfort-wise.  You have two goals, as the best mascara on the market is worthless if it's going to run down your cheeks due to your eyes watering!!

Almay, Physician's Formula and mineral makeup brands such as Bare Minerals and Bare Essentuals are good options for people with highly sensitive skin, eyes or those who have allergies.  I suggest trying any of these.

Best wishes, Judi.
