Makeup And Lipstick

[txplowgirl]

Ever since I was a teen when I used make up expecially eye shadow my eye lids would itch and lipstick would cause my lips to itch and swell. I tried hypoallergenic makeup sometimes it would work sometimes not. I got to the point I quit using it altogether. Just in the last few days I've had my ah ha moment and went DUH! Gluten is the darn problem. "Slap myself upside the head here"

Took 30 yrs to figure that out.

There are a few threads in the products section on gluten free makeup and lip products, be sure to check them out. There is some nice stuff available.

I feel your pain as it took me a long time to figure it out as well. Once I eliminated gluten, egg, soy and dairy, I couldn't figure out why I was still having eczema and symptoms. Within the past month, my husband and I called almost ever cosmetic company and the products companies I know order my makeup from are: Tag Makeup, Monavi (sp?) and After Glow. However, I did finally find a mascara that is gluten free/soy free by Estee Lauder. I always wondered why my eye lids itched and I had red lines on my eye balls all of the time. Since I started using these products I have been fine. I also just received a 5 page letter from Mary Kary (after my husband got into with them) which lists their allergens. It is a great source of information and is broken out by Nuts/seed, Soy, Gluten. I tried to post it, but it's a PDF and not sure how to do it.
