Sharing how I got back to wearing makeup after being diagnosed with dry eye, blepharitis and MGD, as well as my favorite brands. This is not medical advice; I\u2019m just sharing my experience!<\/em><\/p>\n Hi friends! How are you? I hope you\u2019re having a wonderful morning! We\u2019re finishing up Rodeo break (wah) so the kids are back to school and it\u2019s back to the swing of things around here. I hope you have a great day!<\/p>\n For today\u2019s post, I wanted to do a reader\u2019s request after a comment I received last week. Ever since I posted<\/a> about my eye issues,<\/a> I\u2019ve been overwhelmed by amazing messages and comments, but also saddened to hear that so many of you have found yourselves in a similar boat with sudden flares, autoimmune issues, and painful, red eyes. \u00a0While I was in the depths of all of this last year, I was so frustrated and sad. I couldn\u2019t see myself ever wearing contacts or eye makeup again. (I have no foresight whatsoever, so in my mind, what is happening now means it will be happening forever.)<\/p>\n I couldn\u2019t wear makeup for many months and slowly made my way back to contacts and eye makeup. It\u2019s taken a lot of work and healing \u2013 I\u2019ll share more on my healing journey and everything I\u2019ve done to decrease my histamine responses and inflammation in an upcoming post \u2013 but *knock on wood* I can finally make it through the day without constantly thinking about my eyes. Just putting that hope out there for my dry eye friends \u2014 it can and will get better. This won\u2019t be forever. Hang in there, friends.<\/p>\n
