Is it possible to be allergic to eyeliner, eyeshadow, eye primer, or mascara? Recently every time I do my eye makeup, even if its just eyeliner and mascara, my eyes become so watery and also my nose begins to run.
I'm not sure if its my makeup or just allergies but it starts to happen when I put on my makeup, not before, and I feel relieved after I take it off.
is there anything you think I'm using that may be bothersome to my face or any brands you recommend for sensitivity? I'm worried, thanks for any replies.

Or if could be your foundation. You could try to eliminate one part of your makeup eachdayti you don the problem.

Your eye area is one of the most sensitive parts of your body. It is possible that you have sensitive eyes and the makeup triggers the reaction you're having. Talk to a dermatologist and maybe an ophthalmologist.

I have the same thing with one eyeliner, 24/7 urban decay eyeliner pencil. It sucks because its such a good eyeliner it didn't even budge through my eyes nonstop watering for half an hour, such a good eyeliner :(

Sometimes its just how your face reacts to any product being there. are you applying liner to your water line? This happens to me every time I do. Try switching to an allergy friendly brand or more natural alternatives like using olive/mineral oil instead of mascara.
