Maybe get your eyelashes tinted and then use an eyelash curler to "open" up your eyes? That way you don't have to put up with the irritation every day.
I have had my lashes tinted once and the beautician was careless enough to get a bit in my eye which really stung so make sure you let them know you have very sensitve eyes if you choose to do this.
I think it's more of a beauty therapist thing than a hairdresser thing and yes it would be fine to get it done while pregnant, the tint doesn't touch your skin.
The other thing I was going to suggest was perhaps try a more expensive mascara. I'd throw in a recommendation for Clinique, their Long Pretty Lashes version, it gives you an enhanced natural look rather than making you look really made up. (If that's the kind of look you like that is!) My eyes tend to be a little sensitive too, not like yours by the sound of things, but I've never had trouble with this one.
I've used an Alamay brand eyeliner before that I liked, I think they market to sensitive skin. So that might be worth a shot?
I always get sore eyes from mascara, but that's because I'm an eye rubber when I'm tired...bad idea. I look like a panda too. :P So, who here has had their eyelashes tinted then?
I find if I go without makeup for a week or so, then wear it to work, my eyes seem really sensitive. Now I have to wear it everyday and my eyes don't seem so sensitive.
Some mascaras can feel really 'heavy', I have a new light one (Cover Girl) and it doesn't bother me!
I find it really difficult to apply mascara (makes my eyes water) and cannot apply eyeliner - barely can handle someone else putting it on for me. Doesn't bother me once it's on though. I've had my eyelashes tinted a couple of times, find it difficult having it put on (and keeping my eyes shut for the whole 10 mins, I keep wanting to blink for some reason) but the effect is really good.
Have you tried a hypoallergenic mascara? There's some available specifically for people with sensitive eyes and contact wearers.
I have my eyelashes tinted all the time, they look fantastic. You can also get them permed, which makes it look like you have used a eyelash curler every day without having to do a thing. When you get them permed it also includes a tint.
If you eyes start stinging during the treatment you need to let the therpaist know, they'll remove it and wash it off and then if its not fully developed then it can be reapplied so that its not stinging.
Its not really the therpaists doing if it stings, generally if you squint your eyes tight or try to open them at all the tint can go into the eyes. When you apply the tint you have the edges of the eye covered with special pads and vaseline so the tint doesn't get on the skin.
