Mascara is perhaps the most important tool in a women's cosmetic bag. Unfortunately, some women take more than one year to find the perfect mascara, because the composition of cosmetics often includes components that cause itching, a stream of tears and irritation. For this reason, girls and women choose hypoallergenic mascaras.
The brands Clinique, Lumene, Isa Dora and La Roche have won the respect and love of the owners of sensitive eyes.
Without perfumes and “chemistry”
The word “hypoallergenic” on the tube does not mean the absence of dangerous components, so many customers are already free to read the composition on the label. The list should not contain at least three substances: pentaerythrityl hydrogenatedrosinate, carnuba wax and petroleum distillates.
Fragrances, parabens, oil products and propylene glycol, as well as thimerosal (based on mercury) can cause irritation.
High-quality hypoallergenic mascara is distinguished by a natural base, consisting of water and beeswax. The manufacturer sometimes adds safe ingredients to the formula: provitamin B 5 , iron oxide and glycerin.
Advantages and disadvantages
Hypoallergenic mascara is a small compromise between health and beauty. Natural composition reduces the likelihood of an allergic reaction, and eyelashes receive optimal hydration.
On the other hand, the absence of some additives may mean a decrease in quality and the expected effect. For example, the products of certain brands have insufficient durability and color intensity, shedding and lumps. Eyelashes look less spectacular, but you definitely don’t have to worry about their health.
A budget option
Until recently, Lumene Sensitive Touch was considered the most inexpensive mascara for sensitive eyes. The product with arctic blueberry extract, developed together with the Allergy and Asthma Federation (Finland), was a success with customers. Unfortunately, the mascara, which cost about 400 rubles, was discontinued.
No less popular with customers is Hypo-Allergenic Mascara from the Swedish brand Isadora. According to information from the manufacturer, the product is ideal for short eyelashes and very sensitive eyes. The composition does not contain additives that cause allergies, and flavorings.
Pros:
- moisture resistant;
- low price (from 600 rubles at a discount);
- contact lens compatibility.
Everyone looking for hypoallergenic mascaras, reviews of the fair sex are advised to take a closer look at the Isadora brand. Interestingly, Hypo-Allergenic Mascara scolded and praised at the same time. The whole secret is that you will not find a tool suitable for absolutely everyone. Some customers enjoy using mascara, others throw it away after two uses.
Fans of the Swedish brand note that Hypo-Allergenic Mascara is very good at coloring and lengthening the eyelashes. There is no excess mascara on the brush, and eye makeup looks very natural.
La roche
Most girls and women rightly believe that the most hypoallergenic mascara will certainly be found in the collections of “pharmacy” brands. Here, unconditional leadership belongs to the exclusive French cosmetics La Roche. Specialists of the brand work closely with dermatologists and ophthalmologists to create completely safe products.
In the La Roche decorative series, there are hypoallergenic mascaras “Respectissime lengthening” and “Respectissime with serum that stimulates density and volume”.
Advantages and disadvantages
According to customer reviews, both carcasses are a real salvation for sensitive eyes. The unique formula does not cause irritation and dryness, the product is almost not felt on the eyelashes.
As for the claimed effect, then there are continuous minuses. Respectissime only slightly lengthens the eyelashes and makes the color more saturated, but even to achieve such a result is incredible work. It’s very difficult for some customers to get used to carcasses that are too thin, and water resistance is out of the question. After application, the hypoallergenic mascara La Roche dries for a very long time and may leave marks on the skin.
Clinique
The undisputed favorite of our review is the Clinique brand. Firstly, all products developed by American specialists are repeatedly tested in laboratories. Secondly, hypoallergenic mascara for sensitive eyes is not presented in a single copy here.
The idea of creating the first dermatological line for skin care belonged to the founder of the famous brand Estee Lauder. On her initiative in 1968, Vogue editor Carol Phillips and Dr. Norman Orentrek joined forces. The first Clinique product was a three-stage system, and a little later appeared decorative cosmetics.
According to experts of the brand, perfumes, which were completely excluded from all formulas, are a frequent cause of allergies. One of the most important stages of production is clinical tests conducted under the supervision of experienced dermatologists. According to a special system, each product is tested more than 7000 times, but in the case of at least one allergic reaction, the matter does not reach mass production.
High impact mascara
As we said, Clinique produces eight types of mascara. For volume, rich color, firmness, with the effect of false eyelashes - here even the most capricious young ladies will find the perfect “decorative girlfriend”. However, High Impact Mascara, the best hypoallergenic mascara to complement your natural look, won the most positive reviews.
Buyers note a fluffy brush that perfectly stains and separates eyelashes. Mascara easily withstands the whole day, but some representatives of the fair sex occasionally leave traces on the upper eyelid.
High Impact Mascara is perfect for owners of sensitive eyes - an allergic reaction is minimized. Available in two colors: black and black-brown.
In addition, Clinique experts advise you to purchase the Lash Building Primer. This is the basis for mascara, which not only enhances the effect, but also protects the eyelashes. The unique complex contains vitamin B and panthenol, which can easily solve the problem of dryness. In addition, the application of the base facilitates the removal of makeup.
Hypoallergenic carcasses of La Roche Posay and Clinique cost about the same - from 1400 to 1800 rubles. Unfortunately, in terms of variety and claimed effects, the “French” noticeably lose to the “Americans."
In the mass market there are also worthy specimens, but for owners of sensitive eyes, we advise you to pay attention to these two brands. Ultimately, the choice comes down to an individual eye reaction to a particular product, because on the eve of the summer it is simply impossible to imagine makeup without fluffy cilia.
