however

it can get into your eye

i suggest you consult your opthamologist

and if you are not forbidden to try

try it and see

(and stick to a hypoallergenic brand)

I always put foundation on my eyelids and my ear-lobes because the one I use

has a sunscreen. I have had skin cancer three times and try to protect as

much of me as possible.

Most companies make eye foundation that avoid ingredients that are

irritating (or worse) to the eyes and surrounding mucosa, but the

really important issue here is the reason why you are crying.

Ten days ago, in #40253 you said, " i feel like i spend 90% of my day

thinking about rosacea and how to beat it/cure it/suppress it. " In

that post you also mentioned your parents' concern over your

hyperattention to your skin and their hope that you see a therapist.

I hope you are giving your emotional and mental health full

attention, and prioritizing its importance over something like easy

flushing.

Good luck!

I have the same problem. My eyelids are reddened and I absolutely hate it!

I've had photoderm and Versapulse laser done several times to try and

eliminate some of the red-eyed look.

I would suggest that you use a makeup that is specifically for the eye area

and avoid getting it into your eyes. I use an eyeshadow primer by Crem

Colour Cosmetics that I found on QVC that I love. It's kind of expensive,

but it is going to last me a long time.

Good luck,
