Contact Dermatitis on my eyelids and lips because of makeup
Our take
Hi friends,
I’m posting this here because I’m really confused and sad and would love to know if anyone has gone through this and if yes what did you do about it?
Basically, I think I’ve developed some kind of contact dermatitis on my eyelids and lips. I went to a doctor and they asked if I had started using anything new, but I hadn’t. They told me to eliminate products one by one, so I did that and I’ve actually changed all my makeup since then, but it’s still happening. Ps. all my makeup has always been high end so i’m sure it’s not because of buying cheap makeup. i was using too faced concealer and mascara
What I’ve noticed is that this does NOT happen when I don’t put makeup on my eyelids or around my lips. But whenever I use concealer or foundation in those areas, my eyelids and lips get red, irritated, a bit swollen, and itchy. It’s not acne, it’s more like a rash and the skin feels tight and sometimes burns.
I’m starting to wonder if this is an ingredient allergy, or a damaged skin barrier??
Has this happened to anyone else where you suddenly couldn’t tolerate concealer or foundation around your eyes or mouth anymore? Any help would be appreciated…

- Did Grande lash change the formula (about a year or so ago) or has anyone gotten contact dermatitis from it??I know this is long but PLEASE I need help so badly — over a year long issue I can’t seem to figure out I started using grande lash about 3-4 years ago. The first couple years were great, my lashes were SO long and full they looked like extensions, and I had no negative side effects. After that, I remember having a 6-12 month long period of not using it because I was too lazy to repurchase tbh. I finally got it again and was so excited to get my long lashes back, but things were never the same After using it again for a while, I didn’t have any negative side effects, but my lashes weren’t even close to as long/full as they were that first go around Eventually, I noticed having lots of missing chunks of lashes, constant styes (but like rly tiny ones that would go away on their own after a couple days), and many lashes growing above my normal lash line but they weren’t normal lashes. Idk what the actual name for these are but I just call them “dead lashes” lol, referring to the ones that bend in weird ways or just fall horizontally, then come out super easily if u touch them. So I started having a ton of these shedding, along with normal ones too - more shedding than the usual lash cycle Anyways, I’ve been experiencing the WORST eye dermatitis for about a year now. Huge red circles on eyelids and under eye (like raccoon eyes, not just right by the lash line), itchiness, flare ups of MAJOR puffiness (a couple times my eyes looked almost shut) and the more minor times look similar to a hive, then once the puffing goes down it dries up, crusts and flakes like crazy. It goes back to normal for a bit then a flare up happens again I switch to a basic routine during flare ups, which includes stopping the lash serum. Then once I’m stable for a while again I re-introduce it. Idk why I never considered the possibility that the serum could be potentially causing this - probably cause I’ve used for so long without reaction, it’s taken me a while to turn my head to it. I’m just starting to wonder if this is the cause. It’s 100% contact dermatitis, I’ve gotten it on my hands and neck as well though so idk. I can’t keep living like this, constant pain and itching, worried about every little thing I put on my face, always catering to it - I’m exhausted Did they change their formula sometime within the past few years? Or has anyone had a similar experience/know more about how contact dermatitis works?? Can u develop it even towards something u have been using for so long? Literally any advice would be so helpful submitted by /u/Working_Bother_7463 [link] [comments]
- Can anyone help me narrow down what is causing a reaction?Over the past two or so years, I’ve developed a weird reaction to some products I put on my lips. I can’t narrow down similar ingredients that would be causing it. My lips will burn, turn red and blister a bit, right along the border of my lips especially. Then over the next few days, they’ll peel and burn. Ones that DO cause a reaction: • Summer Fridays lip butter (specifically the vanilla beige) • Aquaphor • Jeffree Star liquid lips Ones that DON’T cause a reaction: • Old Henriksen Pout Peptide Lip Treatment (I have several colours and they all seem to be fine) • Vaseline • Mac Lipstick and Lip liners I’m stumped! submitted by /u/RachelPR2202 [link] [comments]
