Eyes that tear up.

Hey ya'll. so I wanted to see if anyone else shared my struggle on here.

When I apply my makeup my right eye always tears up. Usually it's fine while applying shadows. But the second I apply liner, or false lashes I tear up terribly and then it ruins everything.

Anyone else have this problem?
Anyone have any tips or tricks to prevent this?

Keep your eye closed unless absolutely necessary. Both mine do it lol it's abnoxious and makes it difficult to apply... I actually found that if I used eye drops just before bed, it didn't happen the next day when I went to put on my makeup.

@jewel I'd love to just shy away from false lashes but being a drag queen I'm sort of stuck into using them.
And Shelby, what type of eye drops do you regularly use?

I use the Refresh brand, just the stuff for dry eyes :)

I'll have to try that also, my eyes are always burning and watery after applying eyeliner.

Maybe your allergic to something in the liner try switching brands!

My eyes tear up and to keep it from ruining my make up I tilt my head so the tears go to the corner of my eye and I take a piece of tissue and soak them up.

Alex first let me say your profile pic is stunning. Regarding your question I have the same problem with watery eyes. You might try switching eyeliners. I used covergirl for years it lasted about 20 mins and would be totally gone! I recently purchased UD 24/7 Eyeliner and that sh** stays for hours!! I was amazed how long it lasts. My new favorite that I can't live without.

Yes that's why I use waterproof everything!
