Makeup Tips for Sensitive Eyes
For women with sensitive eyes, applying eye makeup can be a daunting task. With itchy eyes, red eyes and watery eyes it can be tough to wear makeup. We hope these makeup tips for sensitive eyes would help you.
If you think that a particular cosmetic is irritating your eyes, stop using it right away. If you have an irritated or infected eye it is best to skip eye cosmetics until the infections is healed.
Avoid using hands when applying eye makeup. If it’s necessary to use your hands, wash them thoroughly before digging into your makeup purse and start applying makeup particularly in your eye area.
Keep eye cosmetics outside of your eye this mean you should avoid using eyeliner on the inner eyelids, where makeup can get inside your eye.
Avoid eye cosmetics that are iridescent, glittery, or shiny, as they may contain ingredients that could scratch or irritate the eye.
Take care of your makeup applicators. Make sure that all eye cosmetic applicators are clean before you use them as using dirty brushes can easily lead to infections. Wash or replace all brushes and sponges frequently.
Sleeping with your makeup on is bad enough, but if you have sensitive eyes this can be a real problem. Wash your face with gentle eye cleanser. Use baby oil, olive oil or gentle eye makeup remover to make sure your eye area is clean
While it may not be enough protection for everybody, an eye cream, or primer can work as a barrier between your skin surface, and the products.
If you wear contact lenses be sure to put contacts in before applying makeup. Some suggest you should put ontacts in after applying makeup to avoid damaging or scratching the lenses, but there’s more of a chance of getting makeup onto your fingers and on the contacts, causing discomfort and possible infection.
If you have sensitive eyes, don’t apply mascara at the root. Leave a little bit of space so the mascara will not actually touch your skin this way your eyes are less likely to start itching.
Avoid makeup with harsh chemicals. If you can choose makeup, especially eye makeup made with natural ingredients like Lash Factory’s new Infinity 3D Fiber Mascara which contains high-quality natural ingredients and safe for contact lens wearers and sensitive.
