How common is it to have an allergic reaction to eye makeup?

I'm going to buy higher end makeup but i am afraid of having an allergic reaction. I have never had an allergic reaction and i have used maybelline, rimmel, covergirl, and other cheaper brands.How common is it to have an allergic reaction to eye makeup?
it is more common than you think. after years in cosmetics, i have met many women who have allergic reactions to shadows and other eye makeup. it is true that the cheaper brands tend to be more irritating, but it is a few particular ingredients that cause problems. bismuth and mica are two ingredients that cause reactions, and they are often found in mineral makeup. also, shadows and liners with a red base (pinks, browns, purples) can be very harsh. something about the red dyes causes extreme irritation. to avoid this problem, stick to colors with a blue base (grey, green, blue) or make sure you can return items that irritate you.How common is it to have an allergic reaction to eye makeup?
it's common to get an allergic reaction to eye makeup but it shouldnt matter if its a cheap brand or an expensive brand and it might not even be an allergic reaction to the make up.It might be from keeping it for too long, anything longer than a week or two is too long to hold on to make up!
It's not common with the high-end stuff, because they use higher quality ingredients. It does happen, however. If you have used the lowest of the low end and haven't had a reaction, you should be fine.
Read the ingredients! Most makeup companies use bismuth oxychloride in their products, even in their eyeshadow. It causes a lot of ppl to itch and causes redness and swelling.


I use LA Minerals eyeshadows cuz they are bismuth free!
not common just remove it before going to sleep and Fda must approve all cosmetics before they go on market
It may be something in the make up your allergic to you should have blood tested for allergies and notify a doctor.
You shouldn't have a reaction. Maybe, call your Dr. and ask if they know of people having any allergic reactions? I personally would say, go for the little more expensive type.
So what are you worried about. ? IF you have used other brands then you will be fine.
you'll be fine


more expensive makeup is not more likely to give you problems
i dont think you'll get a reaction bc if you've been using those kinds then im sure you'll be fine.
