Makeup is an extreme challenge for women with dry eye syndrome. It’s so ironic that something that should accentuate a women’s features and make her look more beautiful would do the very opposite (not only that, but also cause physical pain)! If eye makeup is not stored in the correct manner, or is exposed to heat or extreme conditions it can become contaminated and lose its original properties. i.e. old mascara can easily flake and particles can fall into the eye causing the eye to react from the chemicals it contains. Some women swear by hypo-allergenic makeup or organic makeup which is becoming more and more available. Even though these products can be more expensive, it is worth the extra money if your eyes are less affected and you can go out without feeling embarrassed about the state of your eyes.
