Makeup/Eyes red?-srry if this is the wrong category
Question Posted Thursday December 4 2008, 5:18 pm
So I got this new eyeshadow from covergirl. along with mascara. Well after the first 3 days i loved my eyes. they were pretty. Well i was watching tv before bed. I believe i took off the mascara and eye shadow before bed. When i was watching family guy all of a sudden my eyes started to burn. i started to cry and the stung so bad that i didnt want to open them. i dont even know if i could open them. well i fell asleep and the next morning the bottom of my eyes or the top of my cheeks were red and had big bumps on them. my mom told me not to put any of the makeup on till it got better. when i got to school my friends right away noticed my eyes and told me they looked swollen. My mom told me it could be the makeup and im having a reaction..but im not allergic to anything. Then it got better and i told my mom i was going to put it back on again to see if its really the eye makeup and its been a week and nothing.... Could it be an allergic reaction?
PS.... I have an eye liner brush and use that for the bottom of my eyes.i mix two of the blue colors most of the time. sometimes when im doing the bottom of my eyes ill get the eyeball and itll look like a line..but i get it in time and it doesnt hurt. theres a little glitter in them..
just thought that might help!:]

It happened to me whenever I used this one particular blue mascara. I ended up having to throw it out. I don't know if yours was colored, or black but the colored ones must have some extra chemicals in them that can cause irritation. Since your eyes were swollen it may have been an allergic reaction. I would use each product without any of the other new ones and see which one is causing the irritation. If one is, your gonna have to stop using it and look for a similar product in a different brand. Also, make sure that you wash all of the makeup off before you go to bed at night, that will shorten your wear time and reduce your chances of irritation. If your favorite burns when it gets in your eyes you may be able to use it, but higher up on your lid where your crease is or near your brow bone depending on the color. As long as it isn't getting into your eyes you should be fine. So use it as a shader, highlight or accent, but don't line your eyes with the one that irritates you.
