Simple Beauty Solutions

QUESTION:
"I'd like to try a smoky eye look, but I have sensitive eyes. What can I use?"

ANSWER:
First, avoid using any product on the inside of the lash line, as well as shadows with lots of dust or glitter that will fall into the eyes during application—opt instead for a pressed powder or long wear crème shadows. Tammy Blanchard’s makeup artist, Joette Balsamo recommends Physician’s Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Gel Cream Liner ($10.95; physiciansformula.com) which is hypoallergenic, fragrance free and safe for sensitive eyes. She says, “If your eyes do get slightly irritated while doing your makeup, blink gently and look in different directions so that the particle moves towards the tear duct and out of your eye. A little bit of saline solution can help. But too much can cause more makeup to fall into the eye.”
