Hi everyone, I really want to talk about a problem I have. Every time I apply full makeup on my face (foundation, etc. [I have only used MAC liquid foundation till now]) my eyes start to tear and it is very itchy and after that I also have a runny nose. Why do I have these symptoms? Because of this problem, I stopped doing makeup for almost 2-3 years. I now only wear makeup on special occasions. On normal days I don’t use makeup but really want to apply it often. I also went to see a dermatologist even though she couldn’t help me. Hope someone here can help me find a solution. Thank you in advance.
You could be allergic to something in the formula. Sometimes makeup companies make small changes over the years and it doesn’t agree with you. I used to wear maybelline eyeliner but cannot anymore due to the irritation and watery eyes it causes.
