Exciting eye make-up for sensitive eyes

6 replies

Please help me find some exciting eye make-up.
I’ve developed a sensitivity to all my favourite make-up. Looks like I’m allergic to Phenoxyethanol which is in pretty much everything. My eyes swell up like I’ve been crying for a week.
All the make-up for sensitive eyes is very sensible. I want mauve glitter and strong colours.
ideally I want to go a shop and try it out, because whenever I order online the pigments are rubbish, or it doesn’t blend well etc.

Does anyone have the same problem and can point me in the right direction please?

I find mineral eye makeup doesn't tend to irritate my eyes. There are lots of different colours available

This set is good value and I have bought from this company and like the makeup.

And yes, sadly I have found some other eyeshadows do irritate my eyes. Itchiness and hives!

The pigment in the Bodylife Beauty Nightfall eyeshadow (one I have) is intense enough to use as eyeliner. I just press it into the roots of my lashes with an angled flat brush. Single application and it is pretty dark.

But it also just be pretty blendable as I can easily brush away mistakes completely with a firm brush.

This company also have some quite bright colours.

@heyhohello Thank you! I’ll have a little look at those tomorrow.
Was feeling a bit sad about having to give up on my garish make up.
