Mascara is our secret weapon for turning up the allure on our look, but nothing can ruin our finished glam more than a mascara that causes irritation, leading to teary eyes and runny eye makeup.

Fortunately, there are innovative formulas free of harsh ingredients that offer longwear coverage. Check out the best mascaras for sensitive eyes below.

Glo Skin Beauty Water Resistant Mascara $22

Unlike other mascaras, this triple-threat formula lengthens and volumizes lashes without flaking off. It’s waterproof and creates a barrier around your lashes, so your eyes stay free of redness.


Physicians Formula Lash Mixologist 3-In-1 Mascara $13.49

When looking for a formula that’s safe for sensitive eyes, allergist Dr. LanAnh recommends looking for the word “hypoallergenic,” which means that it won’t cause an allergic reaction.
