Most ladies have experienced itchy, watery eyes, often attributing irritation and allergic reactions to their cosmetics. But contrary to that belief, mascaras and eyeliners flaking and running into the eyes – not allergy symptoms – cause most eye problems.
With this in mind, cosmetics companies for example Blinc Inc. uncovered new developments in eye makeup technology that have resolved these problems. In contrast to most eyeliners and mascaras, Blinc’s Kiss Me Mascara and Kiss Me Eyeliner are acrylic-based, which means they cannot flake, smudge, clump or run. Blinc’s mascara and eyeliner are also free of damaging and irritating ingredients.
“The kind of acrylic used in this eyeliner can also be perfectly secure even in terms of allergy,” Dr. Frances J. Storrs, a professor emerita of dermatology at Oregon Well being & Science University, said in a Prevention magazine article featuring Blinc’s eyeliner.
Some ophthalmologists are even recommending Kiss Me Mascara and Eyeliner to their patients who have sensitive eyes, wear contact lenses or recently had laser eye surgery.
Kiss Me Mascara forms tiny, water-resistant tubes around the lashes that can be removed with a combination of warm water and gentle friction. The similarly formulated Kiss Me Eyeliner creates a water-resistant layer of color on the lid that peels off with the mascara. No makeup removers are needed for these products.
Also important for maintaining healthy eyes is replacing your mascara and eyeliner regularly; the beauty industry recommends replacing eye makeup every 90 days to avoid bacteria build-up.
Similarly, cosmetics – especially eye makeup – should never be shared with others, as this can increase the spread of germs.
Many physicians also recommend that you preserve the well being of your eyes through antioxidant- and lutein-rich supplements. One such product is Super Antioxidant with Macular Protection by Clinician’s Choice.

From the album: A Jason Mraz Demonstration Jason Mraz – Bright Eyes LYRICS: Bright lights, big city Was quite extraordinary. The drive was pretty. I was in perfect company. The love of a lifetime, Since we were elementary friends; The one with the bright eyes.. Why cannot I be optimistic? I tried to find the logic logically. I had a dream and I could not shake it. I was standing up there naked. There´s fear in the truth at hand, frozen I forgot to understand The live keep living; growing older more into a man.. And I let her grow away from me. Love.. love is not pretending. Time.. time was meant for mending Memories into all is satisfactory, Healthy smiles fill the page the day we spent in miles. And I let her drive away from me. The one with the bright eyes Laughed her way inside this music box; Stored away in the corner of my heart. And I let her get away from me But I´ll never take that day away from me.
