I don't like to look as if I've been partying all night when I seriously haven't! :( I want to wear eye makeup like everyone else does but I notice my eyes even redder at the end of the day even with the supposedly "hypoallergic" stuff. PLs don't tell me to see an eye doc as I've seen soo many and all they had were the same stupid answers.. tried every drop on the market .
I am relatively young and at times, I'd like to wear eye make up- like the time I was feeling my best in my twenties when my eyes were clear. Have any of you any brand recommendations for mascara and shadow that aren't ridiculously expensive and worked well for you? I haven't worn eye makeup for a long time, and feel rather blah as I get older. Thanks.

" I never use to go out of the house without eye makeup but now my eyes get very red when I splurge and wear i on rare occasions. The pain afterwards just isn't worth it. Do you use Restasis? "

" Sillyak- nope I don't use Restasis. It's probably way over my head in price and I'm already paying $200 plus bucks a month for mental meds. :) Have you had success with restasis? "

" Restasis is a miracle worker! I have horribly dry/sensitive eyes. I can't wear any eye makeup or anything scented on my body. The restasis makes my eyes so much more tolerable. I went from putting drops in my eyes every hour or so to not even once a day. Running out of my restasis for just a day reminds me of just how wonderful it is. It's a shame that it's so expensive...I luckily have good insurance. I really can't recommend it enough. "
