Makeup That Even Your Irritable, Super-Sensitive Eyes Will LoveDealing with cranky eyes that get itchy, puffy and teary at just the thought of mascara is a drag. Here's how to deal |
Go for volume, not length ...
... And skip waterproof formulations as well. Why? Mascara that has lash-lengthening properties often contains microfibers that can get into your eyes and turn them into an angry, irritated mess. Meanwhile, waterproof mascara is tough to remove, says Dr. Wolf. Instead, choose a hypoallergenic formula.
Always screw the cap on tightly to prevent contamination (you should feel a bit of resistance when you try to unscrew the cap again).
And never (ever) pump your mascara to try and get the last bit out. Dr. Wolf says that this can introduce air and bacteria into the container (a major no-no for all eyes, but especially ones prone to sensitivity). She also recommends tossing your mascara tube every two months to be on the safe side.
Try: Almay One Coat Thickening Mascara or Clinique High Impact Extreme Volume Mascara
