I have this annoying problem that all eye make up makes my eyes itch :/ I've carried eye make up for years and this irritation won't go away. I never apply my make up very close to the eyes, so I can't understand how it can possibly irrritate my eyes to much!

Does anyone knows what I can do to make it go away?

I have this with mascara. The only two brands I've found so far that doesn't make my eyes itch are Nivea and Isadora.

I have no idea what to do in your case though. :( Only suggestion would be to try hypoallergenic products, even though they're (most of the time) not quite as much fun or as colourful as other products.

Maybe I should try another mascara then... Aw, I like this mascara so much, it's the only one that doesn't smuge and make panda eyes :( But the only way to find out if it's worth it is to try. This is driving me insane!

In that case, try Nivea Double Black, or something like that.
This one:

I usually have a problem with most mascaras, 'cause they make my lashes look like spiderlegs, or just ... they just look bad.
But, this one! I hadn't heard of it before I bought it, and the only reason I did was 'cause it was on sale and I'm cheap. But it really works great. :D At least for me! Worth a try anyway. ;D

I bought this a few years ago:


GOD DAMN. My eyes teared up as soon as I put it on, and would still itch and burn several hours after I washed it off. >:
DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Thanks!! I'll def try it!! I'm currently using IMJU Fiberwig (the sensation fron japan, haha)

And I'll def avoid the loreal one!! Thanks for the warning!!

Yes, you'll need a hypoallegenic one. I don't know if you can get it there, but Covergirl released a Natureluxe line of makeup, which is supposed to be more natural ingredients than other cosmetic lines. They have a mascara, as well as foundation and tinted lip balm. I haven't used the mascara, but I have used the foundation, which I really like, and the tinted lip balm, which is just okay.

There is also a 100% organic line of makeup from Physicians Formula, but again, I've never tried it. 

If you really can't find a mascara that doesn't irritate your eyes, you can try applying vaseline with a generic mascara brush, like this one. Also use an eyelash curler. The vaseline will only keep your eyelashes curled and lifted, though -- it won't add length or color to them :(

Although, some people say that applying vaseline to their eyelashes everytday makes them grow longer... I don't know if this is true or not. 

Evig_: Do you know how to translate hypoallegenic to swedish?

ameliecafe: thank you! You are always so informative!! ^^

When I apply eyemake up, it doesn't itch instantly, it takes a hour or so.

I know of no makeup that doesn't itch, as I have sensitive skin(Don't make me tell you the pain I went threw after covering my face in halloween make up...Ug that was the worst, I had nail marks from scratching and everything)
The only tip I can offer is to buy water proof makeup...so You can rub and itch all you want and not smug :D

I use Nyx brand for anything on my face because I have allergies and I often get the same itchiness and irritaton. Try looking for make up that specifically says on the packaging: "Hypoallergetic" otherwise it will definitely have the possibility to make you itch.

Yarr. :3  "Lågallergen" is the swedish translation. Hypo is a greek prefix which means "below normal" or "slightly".

(As a tip, use tyda.se, it's an extremely good swe/eng dictionary. ;D)
