You know what sucks? Being a goth and being allergic to most eyeliners.

So when I first started trying out makeup eyeliner and shimmer eyeshadow burned my eyes. The shimmer eyeshadow would burn on my eyelid and then I’d try out wings and it’d make the corner of my eye hurt horribly. Besides trying different methods to achieve what you want you could do what I did, which is ignore it.

So I’m really dumb and would practice it and obv it’d burn but I’d keep it on long enough for the initial burning to go away, because I didn’t know it wasn’t supposed to be like that. I thought it was like how some foundations make you break out, like you just had to live with it. Yes the sensitive eyelids that are puffy and kinda hurt suck there’s no way to get around that fast, but I guess it eventually built up a tolerance cause it doesn’t happen anymore.

Now if you are having a god awful eyes swelling shut type of bad reaction IGNORE ME, do not put yourself in danger because of my own experience. There is a lot of good advice being posted, so again, I don’t recommend what I did it was dumb but that’s what worked for me.
