This is how we buy our eye makeup- "Waterproof? Yaaay!", " Smudge proof? Yaaay!". Then we go to bed saying "But I washed my face thoroughly!" It's no wonder that so many of us then wake up with irritable, red-rimmed eyes that water with the slightest breeze or fumes. However wonderful and exotic (read: expensive) our makeup may be, and whatever claims the product makes about its formula or ingredients, we still need the pores of our eyelid glands to be able to breathe and freely release the moisturizing and nourishing fluids that our eyes need to keep healthy. It just takes a tiny bit of preparation and only about 2 minutes of our bedtime ritual.
