Tears are salty, meaning they can dry out the under-eye area.
For the lids themselves, Dresher suggests taking a slightly different approach to priming.
To rule that possibility out, opt for hypoallergenic eye makeup options, like the Tower28 MakeWaves Mascara.
Thats because the waterline is home to oil glands meant to regulate eye lubrication.
Applying makeup in the area can clog those glands, making eyes dryer and ultimately more likely to tear.
That way, when a tear or two inevitably escapes, youre prepared to interveneand keep your makeup intact.
And powder can make that situation all the more difficult.
Instead, opt for a setting spray under the eyes.
That way, tears will sit on top of the makeup rather than absorbing into it.
By avoiding the ingredient altogether, you’re able to help minimize tearing.
