I already posted a question relating to this...but wanted to clarify. I got an allergic reaction to mascara about 8 days ago- my eyelids were puffy and itchy. I was told by the pharmacist to take benadryl and apply cold compress. I did, and it helped a bit.. over time it got a lot better on its own. BUT right now, it's almost better, but at the lash line, it's still a little puffy-- and only at the base of the eyelids, near my lashes. It's nothing serious, I know, but if anyone knows: how long does it usually take to get completely back to normal?

Hey, unfortunately this has happened to me too. It never got serious enough for me to go take benadryl (I already suspected I was allergic to an ingredient) but I've been through this. It should be better in a day or two. You should put ice (only for a few moments at a time) or a cold spoon (just put it in the freezer) on it. This should numb the itching and decrease the swelling. If its not completely back to normal in a few days I would go back to the pharmacist and see if they have a product to help. Good luck =)
