I use Nars shadows and pencils and Clarins for bases and Lara Mercier sometime too. </p> <p>Kat Von Dee always seems to react with me especially but I love the adventurous styling that the SA wear so I get drawn in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeshadow-recos-for-sensitive-skin#post-2064615 Fri, 27 Sep 2019 18:15:28 +0000 Anonymous 2064615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a bout of eczema on my right eyelid last October. After it died down I switched to Bobbi Brown creamy eyeshadow stick and have not had a problem since.&nbsp;&nbsp;Since that did not bother my eyes I tried Revlon cream eyeshadows and have been fine ever since. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeshadow-recos-for-sensitive-skin#post-2064553 Fri, 27 Sep 2019 14:10:38 +0000 julijuli 2064553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You also might want to try RMS eye shadows.&nbsp; I've got very sensitive eyes and they don't irritate at all!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeshadow-recos-for-sensitive-skin#post-2064504 Fri, 27 Sep 2019 09:50:30 +0000 Jessikams 2064504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just while we’re on the topic, I also love Nars eye products: shadows, liners, all of it is soooo good and great colors. They’re expensive but they last me for years without drying, cracking or any of that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeshadow-recos-for-sensitive-skin#post-2064423 Fri, 27 Sep 2019 00:25:44 +0000 Staysfit 2064423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elea Blake! Love their products! I have rosacea and eczema and I have never had a problem. Their website is fun and their color drapes are very fun. My 79 y/o mom uses it also.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeshadow-recos-for-sensitive-skin#post-2064360 Thu, 26 Sep 2019 19:25:58 +0000 Helena 2064360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thx all! So interesting that folks have had luck with MAC ... I have trouble with lipstick but there's is fine so maybe eyeshadow worth a try given the reasonable price and easy to get ... Once this flare-up settles I'll give it a go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeshadow-recos-for-sensitive-skin#post-2064299 Thu, 26 Sep 2019 15:24:55 +0000 Keturah 2064299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jessikams, Perricone’s no eyeshadow shadows look soooo good! I love how subtle yet beautiful the colors are. Maybelline made this gorgeous taupe lavender shade in a cream shadow. One of the Perricone’s shadows reminds me of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeshadow-recos-for-sensitive-skin#post-2064298 Thu, 26 Sep 2019 15:22:47 +0000 Anonymous 2064298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just using All Natural Face, Just Pure Minerals, and other Etsy shops. They're mica but don't have the preservatives and fillers like the mass market products. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeshadow-recos-for-sensitive-skin#post-2064296 Thu, 26 Sep 2019 15:15:02 +0000 Keturah 2064296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are very welcome! I hope it helps and you find some products that work for you. I love eye makeup and I know I would feel sad about not wearing any. Several years ago I had a reaction to benzoyl peroxide. My eyelids swelled up badly, turned red, and burned. It wasn’t pretty. And I couldn’t wear makeup for a few weeks or longer until it cleared up.</p> <p>Oh! And let me know if my cat liner instructions don’t make sense. I can try taking a photo or finding a photo online. The big thing is to bring the flick outside the folded/droopy area. There are other couple other ways to angle it through the folded area. But outer eye edge has worked best for me. </p> <p>I also really like this tutorial from Lisa Eldridge. Instead of a flick you just stop the liner at the outer corner. It’s very 60s. Not great for downturned eyes imo. But fun to experiment and try! I still think tightlining is one of the best techniques in general—unless someone has very small eyes. </p> <p><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz8X81E_Iro" rel="nofollow">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz8X81E_Iro</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeshadow-recos-for-sensitive-skin#post-2064217 Thu, 26 Sep 2019 12:49:13 +0000 nemosmom 2064217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was also going to suggest MAC. I have really sensitive skin and use theirs without issue (and without primer).</p> <p><div>Another thing you may want to check is your applicator - use natural fibre brushes (not the sponges, as the latex in them can irritate eczema-prone skin), wash them often in a <u>gentle</u> soap, and rinse <u>really</u> well so there isn't a residue that can add to the irritation.</div><div><br /></div><div>I wish I had makeup tips to share - my lids get droopier every year, it seems. :(&nbsp; The only liner I wear on top is tightliner under my lashes. I use a base shadow color to even tone and a little darker one to contour, but who knows if I make my eyes appear better or heavier??!!<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeshadow-recos-for-sensitive-skin#post-2064212 Thu, 26 Sep 2019 12:31:50 +0000 Bijou 2064212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have sensitive skin, but find Mac eyeshadows to be fine for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeshadow-recos-for-sensitive-skin#post-2064194 Thu, 26 Sep 2019 11:14:59 +0000 Helena 2064194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone ...

Great idea about the lip and the tightlining, and I'll try your liner trick too ... And thanks for the tip about that product line, it's worth a try! I feel better already; thank you xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeshadow-recos-for-sensitive-skin#post-2064084 Wed, 25 Sep 2019 22:46:55 +0000 Keturah 2064084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely avoid any eye primers, shadows with talc bases, mica, and the like. They can be drying and irritating for really sensitive eyelids.</p> <p>Check out Omiana.<br /> <a href="https://www.omiana.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.omiana.com</a><br /> They are free of mica, parabens, titanium dioxide and other potential irritants. Their face makeup isn't acne safe. (That's a concern for me personally.) But their eye makeup could be great for you.</p> <p>I have hooded eyes. The trick for cat liner I've found is to go out on the very edge of the corner of outer eyelid and work up and out from there. That said, I find I still need a bit of medium depth shadow on the bit of upper lid skin that folds down. I've also done very bold eye makeup using one of those kajal liners in a pretty color, filled in the lid, and blended the edges up and out. Sometimes eyeliners have less irritants in them such as mica. Application on the lid has potential to crease like crazy. But it is one work around that only uses eyeliner.</p> <p>How do you feel about a more dramatic lip? I think using some simple mascara, a bit of tightlining with eyeliner, and really rocking a great lipstick (nothing too brown, neutral--choose your medium to high intensity version of plum, pink, red, or the like!) would be gorgeous and fresh,. It will give your eyelids time to heal and calm down. Just be sure to really conceal any redness around nose as more saturated hues can highlight facial redness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eyeshadow-recos-for-sensitive-skin#post-2064071 Wed, 25 Sep 2019 22:02:31 +0000 Helena 2064071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi friends, sorry that I am just swooping in with a question! But hoping you might be able to help.</p> <p>I get occasional bouts of eczema, especially when we have a mild fall. I had just recently started using eyeshadow, as my eyes are more and more hooded/droopy and there are some great eyeshadow techniques to help. The trouble is, the eyeshadow is now causing and aggravating eczema on my lids!</p> <p>I am wondering if anyone has had a similar problem, if they've found any products that don't cause the irritation (I've tried Almay and Clinique so far), or has any brilliant techniques for droopy eyes/eyelids that only require eyeliner.</p> <p>Appreciate any help or suggestions! xx Helena </p>
