I'm going back to work in a few weeks and would like to get an eyeshadow primer that is something reasonable in price but is also helpful for sensitive skin and eyes. I'm shopping around looking at commets, thought I would ask here as it's the best place to obtain suggestions. Thanks everyone for your feedback!

I take a particular medication for another health issue that requires a specific amount of water to be taken through out the day to ensure the body stays hydrated and healthy.

That's the way to go. Look for hypoallergenic, sensitive skin and preferably dermatologist tested or recommended. I'm sensitive to every cosmetic under the sun and frightfully allergic to others. I've had some wallapalooza reactions to a few.
Anyone remember Mary Kay cosmetics parties? That was a disaster when I attended one to be hospitable. Big mistake for my face.
I look for cosmetics with the least possible ingredients as there is less to react to in them. The less expensive the product, the better it is for me. So, I go cheapest every time.
I have good results with ELF makeup products. And for facial washes, moisturizer and makeup remover I use SIMPLE brand range of products. SIMPLE is what I need, alright.
Good luck!

I've not had much luck with on Google which is why I was hoping to obtain more options here. Already reading through product reviews to locate this type product for sensitive skin.

Since you have RA and mention sensitive eyes, it's important to note that some people with RA can experience dry or sensitive eyes. When choosing eye makeup products like primers, look for hypoallergenic and ophthalmologist-tested options that won't further irritate your eyes.

Since you have RA and mention sensitive eyes, it's important to note that some people with RA can experience dry or sensitive eyes. When choosing eye makeup products like primers, look for hypoallergenic and ophthalmologist-tested options that won't further irritate your eyes.

Consider using artificial tears before applying makeup if you experience any eye dryness. This can help create a more comfortable base for makeup application. Before trying any new eye products, you may want to:
• Do a patch test on a small area first
• Choose fragrance-free options
• Look for products labeled "for sensitive eyes"
• Consider consulting with your eye doctor if you have specific concerns about eye sensitivity

If you experience any irritation with your current eye makeup products, discontinue use and consult with your healthcare provider.
