Can anyone reccomend me a mascara for my super sensitive eyes

Pretty pretty please, doesn't have to be waterproof, just resonable and non-irritating.

No 7 does one for sensitive eyes, have not tried it though

Have you tried Bare Minerals?

I have used butterflies-eyecare.com when my eyes have been super sensitive. Currently, I am using a clarins mascara. Anything that has lengthening, thickening, waterproof properties have fibres that irritate my eyes. I have tried lots of different brands including the boots sensitive one, and most leave my eyes red and watery.....nice!

Blinc or Clinique curling mascara
They are tubing mascaras. So they 'set ' and don't irritate

I've got the boots No7, it doesn't irritate but does flake off during the day so I end up with mascara powder under my eyes. Not a good lookGrin

Thanks for replying.

Can't use Bare Minerals, my eyes hated it.

Would rather avoid flaking if I can Grin

The Blinc and the Clinique one look interesting, is either better than the other?

Blinc is more expensive and you get offers at Clinique. They're pretty much the same thing. Try the Clinique one. You have to remove with warm water and gentle wiggling!

I have the Clinique tubing mascara. It's ok but I do get a bit is smudging & it's a nightmare to get off as it goes into little balls that end up all over your face & you have to rub it to get it off.
Lancôme Definicils is a nice natural mascara.
I'm going to try Benefit They're Real & Christian Dior Uconic Curl.
Bourjous do a sensitive mascara.

In terms of sensitivity you cannot beat a tubing mascara. Regarding what Sophie said -they aren't easy to get off if you try with any traditional makeup remover, oily or not.
You have to get your head round the fact that its rubbery tubes that set around the lashes so then you peel them off with warm water. And with Climique the curling mascara is better than the high impact one. If you wash your face with warm water and a flannel it's very easy to get off. Much easier than other mascaras, in fact.

Ah, I'm a flannel girl so that should work for me, I think I'm going to try the Clinique one, might wait for a Bonus Time though, bound to be one soon.
