I have tried a few different types of eyeliners, primers, and shadows but some I find that I have major sensitivity or irritation to them. I know I should store them in a better way or not keep things for too long but even when brand new I can’t seem to find something that is consistent with not bothering my eyes too much. Is there any good brand that you know of that are geared toward sensitive eyes or know of any chemicals to look out for when buying a brand?

Is there a particular colour range or makeup type (mineral?) that you always lean towards?

It's been my experience that many people can be sensitive to pink, purple, burgundy (etc.) shades because of the pigment composition.

Sorry about the late responce. ya I do tend to pick out more pinks so that could be it.

Also I have found that the powder eye shadows have been irritating my eyes the most and basic eyeliner brands like Mary Kay and L'oreal can bother my eyes as well

Its so tough because what might irritate one person may not be a bother to another. For me I generally keep an eye out for mineral oil in mascara. Some brands containing it irritate my eyes more than others.
