I don't have sensitive eyes but did you know lid wipes like the ocusoft lid scrubs are great removing waterproof makeup while gently cleansing the eye area?

The avoiding the waterline trick sounds like something I'll have to try. Thanks bh :)

I don't wear eyeliner as i have sensitive eyes but i will go hunting for the brands that were mentioned.

My eyes are supersensitive so all these tips are so useful.

Thanks for the tips, I do have sensitive skin and eyes.

I have sensitive eyes and was looking for brand recommendations when I came across this article. I'm thinking of purchasing only natural, gentle makeup from now on...

i dont have sensitive eyes

great tips

removing my eye make up with care is important as my eyes can get irritated easily from too much rubbing!

Oh wow how about the fact that all the commercial makeup brands put TOXIC chemicals in their eye makeup formulations? If you truly have sensitive eyes (or even if you don't) you must try natural makeup. I haven't touched MAC and other similar brands in years. These days i use INIKA (i buy it online from consciouscosmetics.com.au) it is way better for your skin and is luxurious and high quality. I think they've even won awards against other brands like revlon, mac, etc. Definitely worth the switch! Their eye liner is so black and smokey...

My eye sensitivity is the main reason why I never put eyeliner on waterlines. I always wonder how people remove makeup from waterlines? It must sting :(

I don't tend to have sensitive eyes, but these are great suggestions.

My brushes are soaking now

my eyes aren't too sensitive, but some make up products do irritate my eyes,so i generally keep my eye make fairly simple

great tips! thank god i don't have sensitive eyes. i am however a sensitive person. the smallest thing makes me cry. i don't use mascara, i use liner on my top lid so it doesn't run and i use a tint for blush (benetint) and that doesn't run too!

I sometimes experience sensativity to my eyes - great tips. I cannot stand wind, sun etc my eyes water very easily.

I do have sensitive eyes, particularly with mascara. I also have a problem with some additives in eyeshadows, especially ones that have red or darker pink undertones (including browns, bronzes and plums , which of course are my favs). I avoid brands I know are a problem and try to try before I buy with unknown brands. I never use fibre mascara because it just plain hurts. Even some mascaras with stronger smells can cause me irritation...and how much it costs doesn't matter. I have used cheap ones that are great, and expensive ones that irritate me no end.

I have very sensitive eyes. Thanks for this info, which I'll take on board. I never, ever go without good quality sunglasses, summer and winter.

mascaras with fibres are the worst! my eyes arent terribly sensitive but when i tried a mascara with fibres it felt like there where little needles in my eyes

I avoid eyeliner and am picky about mascara.

Excellent tips. I do not have sensitive eyes but my sister does so will pass on these tips. Thanks.

5: swap powders for creams great tip!

My eyes arent really sensitive, however I can never do liner on the waterline. My eyes just water and it is wasted anyway.

It's gross but has anyone else blown their nose only to find bit of eyeliner!? It's no wonder people are sensitive to make up - it gets in everywhere! :P

My eyes have their days. I have make up wiped which I can use for months then all of a sudden they irritate my eyes. I would add do not rub your eyes and a suggestion. We all know if, but I am sure we all do it.
