Quick tips for sensitive eyes


There are a few things you can do to avoid or reduce getting sore/dry eyes from eye-makeup.
Firstly you obviously have to make sure the products you're using are not bad for your eyes or cause a bad reaction in your skin/eyes, but things like fallout and dryness can ruin a night out and make you blink like Nicki Minaj all day :P

  • Prime your eyes using a primer like Urban Decays eyeshadow primer or a cream shadow. This will make your eyeshadow stick better to your lids and not fall out/fly away. It can also keep your eyes moisturized.
  • Dampen your eye-makeup tools. This will make your eyeshadow stay on the brush better and not fly away and into your eyes.
  • Moisturize your eyes, especially your undereyes. A powerful concealer/face powder, even though it's used underneath your eyes, can be very drying for your eyes.
  • Make sure you close your eyes when applying powder/blusher
  • Saline Solution - if you do get something in your eyes, you can rinse it out and refresh your eyes with saline solution. Don't use it too often as it won't have the same salt balance as your eyes and it may make it worse and be almost "addictive".
  • Sleep well!
  • Drink lots of water!
I hope this helps!

Much Love,
