Mascara for sensitive eyes

5 replies

user2848502016 · 29/03/2026 17:11

Mascara is one of my staples as I have very fair eyelashes.

Any recommendations for one that’s good for sensitive eyes?
I have found my eyes getting more sore/watery recently, possibly due to age as has never been a problem before.

Must be available in brown!

Thank you

Rimmel Kind and Free (light blue tube) is the only one my very sensitive eyes can bear. It comes in a ‘Brown Black’. The good news is that it’s not at all expensive.

Hi! Ingredient-wise tips from a formulator:
For sensitive eyes, look for formulas that list panthenol, glycerin or beeswax, and avoid heavy fragrances, synthetic dyes or harsh preservatives in the first few ingredients (those are the parts of a mascara that most commonly trigger irritation!)

Hourglass mascara works for me.

Rimmel waterproof. Blue tube.
Once tried Avon and thought I wqs going blind while driving! Had to pull over and use my sleeve to rub it all off!
