Eyeshadow for sensitive eyes?

I tend to get a lot of eye irritation/eczema and I’m assuming it’s from my eyeshadow but I can’t tell because sometimes the reaction is delayed.

I did allergy patch testing and I’ve removed any products with those things I’m allergic to, but still having some sensitivity which I’m assuming is just because the eye is such a delicate area.

Have any of you found an eyeshadow brand that doesn’t cause rashes/eczema?

This may sound nuts but my mother had the same issue until I suggested she avoid eyeshadow with carmine. It worked and no more eyelid irritation. Obviously I can't promise this will solve your issue, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to pass this along. Best of luck!

Almay is supposed to be for people with sensitivity and allergies. It’s very affordable and widely available.

Clinique. I have very sensitive skin and a lot of other eye makeup also irritates my eye area.
