Makeup For Dry Eyes
Dry eyes is a condition that I hear about often, so often that I thought I would write you all a blog post about it.
What is Dry Eyes?
Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca is the scientific name for it – but lets stick to Dry eyes for all of our sakes! It basically means you have problems with your tears which can cause you to have itchy, stingy or watery eyes. Therefore makeup can become a problem . Research also shows that a drop in oestrogen can cause the tear glands to produce less watery fluid – another problem we can blame the menopause for!
Eye products have a habit of clogging the Mibomian glands in your eyelids, particularly if you like to wear eyeliner in your waterline or products with glitter in. Here are some tips that will help you choose makeup that will be kinder and least affect your eyes.

TIP NO.2

You could have your lashes dyed / eyebrows tinted/ eyeliner temporarily tattooed – but you need to do a dye test first to make sure you don’t have any reactions. And please go to somebody that has been recommended to you – always do your research!
TIP NO.5
Finally to Clean your makeup off, always be gentle…I like to use the following products:
