Tips for watery eyes

If you have watery eyes then you know how annoying it can be, especially if you just did your makeup. Is it just me or does it keep getting worse once you notice it?

You can kiss that beautiful eyeshadow and eyeliner goodbye once that watery corner starts. 

I recently experienced this with a 2-day client and here’s what I learned when I went home after that first day. The neat thing is, when I went back on the second day, I used all these tips and it WORKED! 

I couldn’t tell you how happy the client and I were at the end of our appointment. 

Try out these awesome tips that are sure to help:

1

Eye Drops

Watery eyes are actually a result of dry eye so being proactive and using eye drops before you start your makeup will  totally help.

2

Deep nose breathing

Take a few deep breaths through the nose. Do this before you start the makeup application and during if the eyes start to feel sensitive. 

3

Waterproof Pencils

Instead of using eyeshadows, try using waterproof pencils. You can also use a small blending brush to apply as you would an eyeshadow, just be sure to sure a super gentle hand.

4

Q-Tips

Keep some q-tips handy. Anytime you see the eye water gently press a q-tip into the corner until the tear has been soaked up. 

5

Tap, Tap, Tap

Use light tapping motions when working anywhere around the eyes. Avoid rubbing with brushes and tools as much as possible.
