wedding makeup for sensitive eyes

Hi all, was hoping someone might have some knowledge about makeup which is suitable for those with sensitive eyes. I've got just over a year to go but want to start early as a lot of makeup makes my eyes really red and puffy which I really don't want on my big day! I don't wear much makeup normally and generally just go for natural collection stuff from Boots. I think that although their products are ok for normal everyday wear, the quality isn't good enough for staying put on a wedding day!

Any suggestions about where to start are welcome!

    I would say rather than following recommendations as such and buying products, you should go along to as many make up counters as you can, explain your situation and ask for a quick eye make up make over. That way you can trial the products without wasting any money if they aren't right.

    i would suggest going to make up counters and having a play and talking to the staff.

    What works for one person, may cause irritation for others.
    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....
  • I would reccomend Bare Minerals (Bare Escentuals) everything is 100% pure minerals and powder eye shadows, which stay put, the mascara and eye liners are also brilliant:)
    If your unsure bob into Debenhams and ask them to try it on you or buy from QVC as you get (I think its 28 days to test them) if you dont like it or its not suited to your skin you can get a full refund:)
  • Thanks for the replies ladies :)

    Loreal Perfection mascara has no fibres in it, and is suitable for contact lens wearers, so I assume for sensitive eyes too. Unlike other mascaras it has no 'bits' to get in your eyes!
