    Default My eye!!!!

    OMG my eye hurts so bad

    Its all swollen in the outside corner. It hurts when I blink... like a sharp shooting pain.

    Its not really red or anything... its not runny with discharge. Its just puffy and sore.

    I can't not wear eye makeup... I get in shit. Plus im featuring a really big bar this week and the owner will be mad if I go on stage with no makeup. I don't know what to do. Im holding a warm wash cloth on it right now. Ugh its so painful

    Have you ruled it out being a stye or the beginnings of pink eye?

    I've never had either. How would I know if it was?

    Either of those sound like your symptoms. I used to get all 3 of those at some time in my life frequently. They are all a PIA to get rid of.

    Ive gotten a few styes recently. They hurt like a bitch and make your eye all puffy. I'm sorry it really sucks, but I feel your pain.

    seriously I say just get to the doctor and have them give you pink eye meds anyways. I was out of commission, meaning no school or work for 3 bloody weeks because of pink eye. It never amounted to the symptoms that I read on the web and the doctor wasn't even sure but I just demanded the drops and it went away in two days.

    I will never get bitched around like that again. I highly doubt the drops will hurt anything even if you don't have it but will work FAST if you do.

    Hmm... the symptoms sound like pink eye... the soreness and my eye is a bit watery but I figured it was because it hurt.

    Its not pink or red though its just swollen in the corner...

    Yea I washed off the makeup on the outside of my eye lol. I have a break between shows so I washed half my eye off to hold a warm cloth on the outside.

    You can take a potato, cut it in half, nuke it, and put a warm damp washcloth over the one side and it will stay warm for freaking ever. Three times a day, fifteen minutes at a time, will get rid of a stye soonish.

    Styes are annoying, but I found the secret to getting rid of them for good. Use baby shampoo on a warm cloth on your eyes as often as you can. I wash around my eyes with baby shampoo once or twice a day just to prevent them. I know makeup is sort of a necessity, but the bacteria from the makeup is what causes them, so try to keep it off as much as you can. I used to get styes all the time and now I haven't had one in years.

    Oh, interesting! I've only ever had one a couple of times, but both were in periods when I was wearing lots of eye makeup. Thanks for the tip.

    Whenever I had a stye I would put a cold teabag over my eye a few times a day and it seemed to help.

    If you think it is pink eye though you can get Polysporin Antibiotic Eyedrops OTC at any pharmacy (you might have to ask for them). That will take care of the infection and save a trip to the Dr. They cost about $12-$14 I think.

    Could you be having a reaction to new makeup or cleanser?

    On styes: I found that throwing out old makeup or lifting the first layer of shadow in the container with a tissue helped, as well as cleaning my brushes with Hibaclens; otherwise, you're cultivating a petri dish and distributing the bacteria again.

    Well I started using a new shimmer so im wondering if that might be it.

    I've been doing warm compresses and polysporn drops and it seems to be helping.

    Im doing pink eyeshadow today since its fairly pale I can get away with not having it with the area of the stye.

    I've gotten that weird itchy puffiness on just one eye or both when I buy certain mascaras that aren't popular brands like L'Oreal, MAC, Revlon, etc. Same thing with certain eye shadows that aren't familiar brands.

    Well I only use mac and loreal for makeup... the shimmer was a newish thing for me though. I just started using it for when I wear my ice queen costume to give me the icey look for my eyes.

    I dunno i'll have to figure it out via process of elimination lol.

    Hey I am new here, thought this might help, my mom use to get styes and she would rub her ring on them. any smooth gold 14k or more, smooth rings work. something in it gets rid of the stye. it may just be an old wives tale, but she swears by it
