Hello all, I hope I answer everybodys queries, if not please nudge me.

margaritasbythesea I keep the teaspoons on for about 30 seconds or a minute-it's a bit of a shock to my system first thing.

Jessie I have spent my life and probably a decent house deposit on moisturisers all claiming to be great for sensitive eyes. The truth is specific ingredients that may suit you may not others and vice versa. If you pay attention to creams that have not worked well, make a note of say the top 5 or 6 ingredients, chances are you will soon find that you can pinpoint a bit better which bits to avoid. All the creams with "wonder/miracle" claims and ingredients pentipeptides and other such unsubstantiated shite are often heavily fragranced and do not help with allergies.
Also worth looking at whether or not water/aqua based moisturisers or those with silicone content work best for you. You should note that if you are using primers that water and silicone products work against each other. This could be why you are getting the "oily eyelids" following your eyeshadow (mihght be worth checking??)
-Diprobase can be bought in a toothpaste sized tube for about £4 quid -I will try and find you some links if that is helpful. I find it a real relief at night.
-Another thing that has significantly helped my very irritable skin is double cleansing. So first with an oil and a hot damp flannel, followed by a cream or balm cleanser. Superdrug/Bodyshop and Boots all do reasonably priced products if you fancy giving this a go....
-I have never had eyebag removal.... would be far too terrified! FWIW I don't think you need to either!
-Eyebrows I think are like all other bits of grooming, generally just help you look a bit more pulleed together with or without make-up. Though mine get a bit neglected until I realise they need doing. I use a brow gel for everyday (I am too pale for the heavy drawn-on eyebrows and too scared of microblading).
-Jessie the picture you link to is relatively easy to achieve as very little blending is involved. Do you use an eye primer? Also if you youtube search "cut crease method for hooded eyes" you will see it is quite easy to create depth and open your eyes up with a bit of trickery....
Jessie-so "baking" is a very quick but effective way of sealing your under eye make-up and maximising any colour correcting and brightening efforts you make. Once you have applied al your products and blended it all in under your eyes (tap it in with your fingers when doing this-it stimulates circulation and ensures the product is worked in and blended nicey). Then tap a bit of loose powder into a lid and dab an ever so slightly damp sponge into the powder and press into the under eye area. Go about your business finishing all your other make-up (maybe a minute or three) and then dust off with a fluffy brush. That is all you need to do.
I will try and find some links for you.....
