Sensitive Eyes? Eye Liner & Mascara Basics
Do you have problems with mascara or eye liner hurting your eyes? Usually, it's not an allergic reaction, but the actual flakes from the mascara that cause problems, such as redness and irritability. So, perhaps consider a water proof or tubular mascara, instead.
If your eyes are heavy or you feel irritation from just putting on your mascara, you could have a true allergy, in which case you'll need to omit it completely or find a hypoallergenic line that works for you. A few hypoallergenic lines are Clinique, Physician's Formula, and Almay. Or if you just have a mild sensitivity or gravitate to more natural products in general, you can try an alternative line, like the one I carry. ;)
BUT -- if you're merely experiencing discomfort from the debris, you're in luck. A good water proof mascara may take longer to get off, but you can still have those fancy long lashes you desire in minutes!
In addition, several of my clients have had luck removing their mascara with Coconut oil. In addition addition, some of my clients even use it as a moisturizer. I LOVE me some coconut oil for many reasons, but do be careful around the eye area (and don't forget to wear SPF)!! Stick to the eye BONE area, because if it gets it your eye you'll feel f(eye)rballs! Get it? In addition, addition, addition, it may clog the tiny pores around the eyes and leave you with little white heads. Frown face. So be smart, and hit me up if you have any questions.
Some of my favorite eyeliner and mascara brands are Kat Von D and Stila (Sephora), Loreal and Maybelline (most drug stores), & Cattiva & Rae Cosmetics (Austin locals). Oh, and mine. Now you have PLENTY of options!
