Eyes are one of the most sensitive parts of the body. Cosmetics can enhance their look, but certain ingredients found in beauty products can cause irritation to sensitive eyes and present dangers to overall eye health. Some of these include color additives, parabens, fragrances, talc, sulfates, preservatives, bismuth oxychloride, and fragrances.

Many makeup brands today, however, have taken extra steps to create quality products without adding damaging ingredients.

Below are some of the best eye makeup brands for sensitive eyes.

EYE MAKEUP TIP FOR SENSITIVE EYES
While these makeup brands can provide less irritation for many with sensitive eyes, it is also important to remember to keep brushes and cosmetics tools clean. Over time, bacteria accumulates in these items and can cause eye issues and damage. Regularly cleaning these items can prevent bacteria buildup and reduce the risk of eye problems in the future.
