Being social with dry eye

I was really excited about recently being asked to be a bridesmaid in a wedding. More excitement was short lived because of my dry eye. I haven't worn eye makeup in over 2 years. The wedding is in August, temperatures are known to get up to 118 where I live. I am very anxious but trying to not feel scared. Have you tried any makeup that worked for you with dry eyes?

  1. I don’t wear a lot of makeup generally. I like Cover Girl Clean mascara. All the products I use are fragrance free. I suggest removing whatever makeup you decide upon as possible. That works for me. Enjoy the wedding, Sharon Moore patient leader

    1. it is easy to remove. I use the Equate facial wipes from Walmart. Sharon Moore Patient Leader

    2. okay great know, thank you!

  2. , I don't use any kind of makeup since I have dry eyes. Now I am taking advice and medicines from my doctor through telehealth Ongocare. My doctor has advised me not to apply any eye makeup. But if you want to do eye makeup, use makeup products that contain ingredients that are naturally occurring. Also, if you are doing eye makeup after 2 years then get yourself a makeup removal spray, which can help you in a better way to prevent dry eye. Also, you need to consult your doctor initially, he can give you better advice about this.

    1. thank for this help! It seems like there are so many bad ingredients in cosmetics these days. Do you have a brand that you like to use?
