Mascara for sensitive eyes

7 replies

I have dry eyes that can water a lot and so I use drops or gel. My eyes sometimes struggle with hayfever, inflammation, and occasional blepharitis. Due to all this, I haven't worn mascara since lockdown. Although I have long lashes they look much better with mascara.

Can you recommend a brown-black that would be better for dry eyes, probably waterproof? I tried one hypo-allergenic from Boots but it was barely visible.

Tubing mascara. I also have dry eyes and hay fever. They also just wash off really easily at night. I've tried a few and the one I like best is Hourglass. Can't remember exactly what it's called, but I'm sure someone will be along to help.

My eyes are the same. For the last few months I've been using Revolution 'Tasty Avocado' mascara and it hasn't seemed to bother my eyes at all so long as I wash it off properly at night.

I second tubing mascara. The Clinique one is good for sensitive eyes.

Thank you, glad to hear there are suitable options for dry/sensitive eyes.

I have ocular rosacea and am ok with Lily Lolo and Rimmel Kind and Free.

I like tubing mascara. I have sensitive skin, allergies and wear contact lenses.

With tubing mascara nothing crumbles off to irritate. I take it off in the shower with warm water and a micro fibre cloth. It comes off in bits and none gets in my eyes to irritate.

I use MAC Extended Play.
