I use tubing mascaras because they just wash off with water. I find it is the eye make-up removers that make my eyes sore and itchy

I don’t know if that is a factor for you?

I agree,that why I like Maybelline so much as they are so easily removed with warm water and a wash cloth.

I’m allergic to most black mascaras and lots of brown/black ones, there’s something about the colourant as far as I can tell, so I use the Tarte tubing mascara in brown. It’s expensive but it doesn’t make my eyes sting and swell to the point of not being able to see. I recently tried the No7 tubing one in the hope of saving money. I had to leave a work meeting mid-presentation to wash it off, it was so painful.

That's horrible! I hadn't thought about the colours. Good advice about Tarte, thanks.

It makes sense, doesn't it? It's got to be fairly gentle.

I was recommended Rimmel kind&free on here a few months ago and it has been good for me so far, cheap too!

Just to add,I use the brown one , I tried the burgundy one and it irritated my eyes so clearly something in the dye.
