Watery Eyes, Runny nose! GAWDDD!

[BiancABomBSheLL]

LADIES!! HELLLLLP....WHY?!  I can't figure this out. I love make up and want to wear it all...but I can't! 

The second I cover my eyes and nose area with concealer or foundation, my nose starts to get runny.  Now this obvious causes constant wiping! And with that, no make up remaining within an hour. 

I put eyeshadow on... my eyes water!  Causing my beautiful creations to be ruined and not even last to events.  I'm at a loss... am I allergic?!  Am I blocking pores from breathing? Am I getting powder in my eyes I can't see?  Helllp 😪

I've literally resulted to half make up looks and not covering my face with any foundation. Concealer combo only on my eyes to lessen the dark circles.   only mascara(waterproof prefer) and lip balm or lipstick as an everyday. ..anymore then that and I'm a dripping mess!

That very well could be a possibility @BiancABomBSheLL. There are a number of different factors at play. What are you using, is any of it scented, and how long ago did you open it? Have you tried changing up your makeup routine and the brands that you use? You might be allergic to the ingredients, have a scent sensitivity, or it might simply be contaminated and/or expired. There are some hypoallergenic makeup options out there that you could try. You could also take a daytime allergy medicine on days when you really want or need to wear some makeup. I hope you’re able to find something that works for you!

And @JoSometimes thank you for taking the time to help out. Imma try that allergy meds during the day to see if that works.

I can definitely rule out expiring date. All items have been purchased within the last 3-6 months. 

Most make up days-

Marcelle concealer/foundation combo

Urban decay setting power

Huda/ ND/ VV eyeshadow (mix)

DMB Liquid eyeliner (optional on eye look)

Fenty beauty Hella thicc mascara 

AFTER eye makeup- I remove all extra debris with a cotton swab in my tear ducts and wells. 

Anastasia blush

Sephora powder contour

And.... it doesn't seem to matter what I put on my lips as it makes no difference in whether my eyes are watering or nose is runny.  I can simply wear lipstick...but...lol

@BiancABomBSheLL If you’re willing to experiment, I would say try rebuilding your makeup routine from the ground up. Start with the ones you know cause zero trouble like lippies and add one new product in each day. Keep adding gradually until you find one that does trigger a reaction then pull it back out of routine the next day and see if your situation improves. Once you find that product, try another brand (Sephora’s pretty good at giving samples again) and see how that goes. Make sure you skip the allergy meds on the days you’re trying out another product or at least save it for when you do experience symptoms for relief afterwards. I do something similar with skincare due to my sensitive skin.
