Swollen eyelids after make up application at Sephora ... what gives?

I had my eyes done at Sephora over the weekend just for fun. (Cargo Smokey Eyes kit) The next morning when I woke up my eyelids were swollen and huge!! I slept with ice on them last night but it didn't help. They were still swollen this morning and even now! Anyone know why this would have happened? And what can I do to help with the swelling? I don't have any allergies so I didn't think it was a reaction but now I'm not so sure.Swollen eyelids after make up application at Sephora ... what gives?
It could be allergies, even though you don't have


any it could be from the eyeshadow. If the puffiness


doesn't go away soon, go back to Sephora and tell


them what happened. They are make up artists they


should be able to give you some names of creams


or anything to help your face. If they recommend you


to try a product there, don't. If that doesn't work go to


your dermatologist they should be able to prescribe


you some creams, or better yet your doctor. For the


puffiness, try some eyedrops to soothe the eyes and


dip your face in a bucket of cold water, this helps the


puffiness of the eyes, and it refreshes the face.Swollen eyelids after make up application at Sephora ... what gives?
WOW that sux! What brand was it they put on you? You may have found something you are allergic to after all!


My guess would be bismuth oxychloride, an ingredient found in bare minerals, sheer cover, loreal, arbonn, avon, etc.....


I have to stay away from it. Makes me itch like crazy.


I use LA Minerals products exclusively and no more probs.
You probably are allergic. It may have been one of the dyes in the e/s. A lot of people are allergic to a certain color of dye. I'd suggest you test new e/s on your hand overnight before using them just to test that you're not allergic. Or you could possibly just have sensitive eyes, but I'm not sure. Ask your doctor if it gets worse!
You are either allergic, or they used dirty brushes/applicators on you and you have an irritation of some sort. I never use anything at those stores for that reason, no testers. Dirty brushes can transmit diseases etc. You can get herpes of the eye or mouth.
Makeup has all kinds of weird stuff in it. If you knew what was really in makeup you would throw up and you would only use natural stuff. I'm not going to tell you whats in it because the all natural make up sucks. Anyways 2 things could have happened. 1) The lady was too rough on your sensitive eyelids. 2) you are allergic to something in that particular makeup. It should go away soon, just stop touching your eyelids. Don't use that makeup any more.
sounds like an allergic reaction...bummer...you should take some benadryl or an allergy medicine. that should provide relief temporarily. the smart thing to do is to see a doctor. i would try to get your money back and stop using that product.
That would be a good guess. But I'm thinking maybe an eye infection or pink eye. You should see your doctor to get medical intention so your eyes can get proper medication.
I've had this experience several times. The Scenario always the same:


I warn cosmetologist that my eyes are very sensitive.


They give me the pitch about how their perfect product is this and isn't that, then plunge ahead spending too much time, putting too much gunk on my eyes.


VOILA, my eyes begin to weep buckets.


It's better if it happens right at the counter. Unfortunately, it usually takes place after you've left the store or salon. How arrogant can they be to presume that you won't have a reaction!It's not Okay. Demand your money back.
an allergic reaction
Ohh wow it really sounds like you are allergic though how painful!! I would get my money back if you had to pay for anything!!
You are allergic to them. Don't use Sephora again. Next time, before using another cosmetic, put a dab on your wrist. If after two minutes your wrist has reddened, do not use it.
