Recommend an eyeshadow palette for sensitive eyes

I've tried Too Faced, MAC and bare minerals eye shadows. I can usually wear them for the day, but I can't wear them too many days in a row or else my eyes start to bother me. I'm not sure if it is the brands or the shimmer that is irritating me. I do wear contact lenses, but they are daily disposables.

Are there any palette brands you can recommend? I would like a palette because I don't usually wear eyeshadow everyday (although I'd like to start wearing it most days) and I never use it up before it expires. Any ideas? 

Also, I'm fair skinned with blonde hair with blue/green eyes

Re: Recommend an eyeshadow palette for sensitive eyes

  • Have you tried Physicians Formula? Also, are you using a primer of any kind?
  • Have you tried Almay?? It's my favorite for my sensitive eyes.  They have quite a few eyeshadow colors too

    I've never tried physicians formula-where can you buy it? And I only used eyeshadow primer once (for my wedding in 2008) and then I gave it to my mom. I can't remember why, but I assume I thought I didn't need primer everyday...

    I've only tried the trio for colored eyes twice(the green one). I haven't used it a few days in a row to see if it bothers me, but I wasn't in love with the quality. The color didn't seem to stay past a few hours, but maybe I should be using a primer?

  • I would recommend using the Urban Decay Eye Primer :)

    Drugstores, and maybe Ulta? (I don't like Ulta so I'm not sure)

    Primer will help the eyeshadow stay put and not fall into your eyes...is that the problem?

     

     

  • I have been having issues too....I can stand Tarte, Bare Minerals and Clinique on my eyes...almay mascara too
  • I'd definitely stay away from eye shadows with shimmer. I dont have particularly sensitive eyes, but if I'm not careful with shimmer, it is so uncomfortable!
  • I have reallyy sensitive eyes! I have had success with clinique and the nuetrogena nourishing eye quad. Most recently I bought a Lorac Palatte and so far it hasn't bothered me :)
  • I love everything that is from Neutrogena! Give it a try Stick out tongue
