BIG mascara for sensitive eyes?

9 replies

Ideally I'd like a false lash-effect one, but anything that promises either massive length or volume would be good Grin

Not a contact lens wearer, just slightly sensitive to some mascaras. Body shop one has run out and is fine sensitivity wise but a bit too subtle, currently using a smash box sample one and the effect is ok, but it makes me rub my eyes a bit!

Ideas anyone please?

Following, because the only ones I’ve found that work for my increasingly sensitive eyes are also too subtle.

Unfortch they say the ones that build volume and length are the worst for sensitive eyes. Not sure I 100% agree. I find diorshow overcurl ok and Lrp volume is fine (but smudgy). Just bought Blinc amplified which is supposed to be great for sensitive eyes, havent tried yet though.

Ooh thanks! I have just ordered the blinc one. Will report back for anyone else. The body shop one is good I think for anyone who doesn't mind a more toned down look... I'm just a bit more interested in OTT

Benefit mascara primer under your normal mascara (or your new one that doesn't hurt your eyes when you find it). It works well for giving extra umph and is also a lovely brown for a natural look on its own during the day.

I have super sensitive eyes and can only wear No7. Even liquid foundation sets my eyes off but have found Bare Minerals products to be ok, so perhaps their mascara would be too.

Maybelline Collosal,yellow tube with mauve writing on it. Stays put but comes off with warm water. I have really sensitive eyes too and can't tolerate any eye makeup remover.

Interesting- I would never guess a maybeline one would be ok

My eyes are no good with maybelline, despite them apparently being okay for sensitive eyes.

I'm rating the Blinc one so far though!!! It didnt smudge and gave a great curl with minimal irritation. I havent had a great track record with tubing mascara either.

Yes I've been using the blinc one for 3 days and love it. I wouldn't say it's amazingly voluminous, but good length and not irritating and I LOVE the taking it off! No panda eyes or rubbing!!
