Wearing makeup with MGD/dry eyes

7 replies

I just wanted to mention a brand Ive found which makes eye makeup which is safe for those with MGD and dry or sensitve eyes- its called "eyes are the story" and if in the UK you can buy it here: https://www.dryeyezone.co.uk/eyes-are-the-story

Ive just placed an order myself so I cant vouch for what its like yet but am excited for it to arrive as I'm really struggling with "normal" eye makeup irritating my MGD and I really dont want to have to give eye makeup up. Will report back on what its like but it was developed by opthamologists so am hopeful!

I will! I really hope its not crap lol

I'm so fed up of not being able to wear eyeliner/mascara so if it works, I'll be overjoyed!

The only mascara I can wear is Maybelline Collosal ,yellow tube with mauve writing on it ( there are a few different sorts) partly because it's removed with a washcloth and warm water so no eye make remover which further irritates the eyes. Amazing stuff. Was so nice to discover it after 2 years of not being able to wear any.

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor I stupidly tried bare minerals maximist mascara recently as I thought bare minerals were fairly consicous of non toxic ingredients. Its a fibre mascara and by the end of the day I wanted to scratch my eyes out- I'm sure the fibres shed into your eyes/block glands etc

Ive seen maybelline listed on quite a few sensitive eye articles as a recommended mascara
