Allergic to makeup?

Hwrd2be

I have used mac makeup in the past but i started using it again about a month ago. About 2 weeks ago my eyes and all around them got red, dry, and started peeling. I stopped using the new stuff and it went away. I have been using the same makeup and its happening again. We have our e-pics on wed so im freaking out. Anyone else allergic to makeup or have any suggestions to get this to go away?

I use Pears hypoallergenic face wash from Walgreens whenever I have skin issues.  I would just wash it and leave it alone.  Don't put on anything like lotion or makeup on it.  Leaving it be seems to clear things up the fastest.

I'm sensitive to several brands of makeup, though I usually don't have a problem with mac.There's nothing to be done about it, except stop using the offending product. You might try a moisturizing eye cream, though if you're in the middle of an allergy attack it might make things worse. I use a neutrogena under-eye moisturizer that I generally tolerate well. Makeup-wise, I do well with the Bare Minerals line.

Is it makeup from a few months ago or brand new?  Makeup can be a breeding ground for bacteria, so I'd try getting something new to see if you have the same reaction.

Thanks. I appreciate it

You should probably see your doctor for prescription eye drops. After it's clear, try Almay for eye makeup, one product at a time. It's the only mascara that I'm not allergic to. Good Luck.
