Sensitive eyes mascara

Hi,
I have really sensitive eyes - they seem to be getting worse as I get older! I just can’t wear mascara anymore, as my eyes will start itching, running and generally feeling awful.

Does anyone else have this and have found a mascara they can actually tolerate!?

Thanks!

I like Ilia for my incredibly sensitive and dry eyes

Try tubing mascara, Elf do a cheap one so you can try it without too much expense.
It doesn’t run at all its great for my sensitive eyes

You need a hypo allergenic mascara.

No 7 range at Boots is hypo allergenic. Look specifically for a hypo allergenic approved one.

Butterflies Eyecare high tolerance mascara.

It comes in loads of colours as well.

I second Ilia! It's amazing and the only thing that doesn't irritate my eyes
