Also, make sure you take your allergy medicine... non drowsy of course :D </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/makeup-for-sensitive-eyes#post-48885 Mon, 12 May 2008 19:30:38 +0000 LeahB 48885@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>My mom has always been allergic to eye make up and has always used Almay. I would think Clinique would be similar. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/makeup-for-sensitive-eyes#post-48865 Mon, 12 May 2008 18:38:29 +0000 amysue 48865@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Clinique all the way. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/makeup-for-sensitive-eyes#post-48864 Mon, 12 May 2008 18:37:50 +0000 shortcake 48864@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>you might want to get tested for allergies....I had (literally) burning tears - and it turned out I was allergic to thimerosol (I think that's how you spell it, it goes under different names as well) - it's a preservative in mascara, contact solution, eye drops, makeup, you name it.&nbsp; I recommend clinique and almay as well. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/makeup-for-sensitive-eyes#post-48859 Mon, 12 May 2008 18:17:59 +0000 prettykatie 48859@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Clinque for a department store brand and Almay for a drugstore brand. I have super sensitive skin and have never had any problems with either. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/makeup-for-sensitive-eyes#post-48814 Mon, 12 May 2008 16:24:19 +0000 rzblna 48814@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I wear contacts and have easily irritated eyes.&nbsp; I love the mascara I've been using-- it's called Kiss Me and it truly doesn't flake at all.&nbsp; You can get it at Sephora for around&nbsp;$22, a little pricier than drugstore brands but worth it. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/makeup-for-sensitive-eyes#post-48459 Sun, 11 May 2008 21:42:55 +0000 caliocteach 48459@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Clinique is my first suggestion, my second is bare minerals.&nbsp; I have very sensitive skin and sensitive eyes.&nbsp; I do well with both of these brands.&nbsp; If you go to Nordstroms to buy your clinique and you end up having a reaction to it, they will let you return it.&nbsp; Not too many other places allow you to return used make-up.&nbsp; I've had to return two clinique products (both eye creams) because I didn't read the ingredients carefully and my eyes got all red and puffy&nbsp;(I am allergic to supha, sulphate, and sulfite).&nbsp;&nbsp; However, I've been fine with other clinique and bare minerals products. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/makeup-for-sensitive-eyes#post-48447 Sun, 11 May 2008 20:50:30 +0000 vailbride 48447@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>If your eyes are itchy and watery, I would suggest using an over the counter drop like Naphcon- A. Avoid drops such as visine, as these are not going to relieve any of the itch factor. Clinique is always good for allergy prone eyes, and Almay is hypoallergenic so I would suggest trying these first. Good luck! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/makeup-for-sensitive-eyes#post-48443 Sun, 11 May 2008 20:10:10 +0000 thriftsiren 48443@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I have sensitive eyes and have found that Almay and Clinique brands work well for me. I also suggest trying whatever you plan on using well before the wedding just to make sure that it works for you. I'm hoping that an over-the-counter allergy medicine or allergy eye drops will also help prevent my eyes from getting red and puffy on the big day! Best of luck! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/makeup-for-sensitive-eyes#post-48441 Sun, 11 May 2008 20:04:49 +0000 msbutton 48441@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I use Prescriptives myself and haven't had any trouble and really love their stuff. But when I used Maybelline eyeliners, my eyes felt like they were burning all the time. I also found out that I am really allergic to Lancome eyeshadow and certain shades of red eyeshadow for whatever reason. I use Prescriptives everything - from skincare to mascara and really like it. Oh, I also forgot to mention that I use their superline preventor and LOVE it, before my cheeks were always red and irritated and so was the area around my nose - the superline totally fixed it after two weeks. Usually the cosmetic counters have samples they can give you to try, which might be best for you since you don't want to committ without knowing what works for you! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/makeup-for-sensitive-eyes#post-48439 Sun, 11 May 2008 20:02:34 +0000 Blackbird 48439@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Unfortunately I don't have any suggestions, but I have the same problem, so I'm very interested in seeing what others will suggest.&nbsp; </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/makeup-for-sensitive-eyes#post-48438 Sun, 11 May 2008 19:57:22 +0000 fadedblue 48438@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I've been doing some initial research into looks for the wedding and would love some suggestions for types or brands of makeup that are good for sensitive gals. For me, I get especially aggravated by eye makeup (irritated, watery eyes after less than an hour or wear)...I'm not sure if it's just b/c I use the cheapo drugstore brand since I don't wear it often enough to get anything nicer. Since we're doing a garden ceremony (raising my chances of allergies) + my usual reaction to makeup, I don't want to look like a puffy, red eyed fright all day unless it's because of happy tears =)! </p> <p>So yeah, any suggestions would be welcome for eyes and skin and beyond!&nbsp; </p>
