Today's random & frivolous makeup question

[cupcake_goth]

Is there a quick way I could figure out if a particular blush is safe to use on my eyes?

(What? Stop looking at me like that.)

I realized last night, after rummaging around in the makeup boxes, that I have a very good pink shade via a MAC blush I own ("Dollymix", if you're curious). I just don't know if it's one of the colors that is safe to use as eye shadow. Oh, and I don't have the ingredient list anymore, but that could probably be found online.

In Other News, writing mid-year career discussions? Still tedious and maddening, go figure.

I use my MAC blush on my eyes...my designer said in not so many words it would probably be ok though they dont test for eye safety. I have NEVER had a problem ;)

Ack!

I haven't done it much recently, but I used to wear blush as eyeshadow all the time! It hadn't even occurred to me that it might be harmful. Ah, the follies of youth. :P

It would be so much easier to write reviews if we could just say "I am fabulous, you know it, I know it, the team knows it. Give me the raise I deserve."

it is a general rule of thumb that makeup is safe to use anywhere on your face.

HOWEVER, you do have UBER-SENSITIVE eyes, so your best bet is to test a little above one eye with no makeup on sometime when you are going to be home for the next few hours with no one around to see you (since I know you are as vain as I am).

this will tell you if you have a reaction to it. And also give you conclusive evidence if it is the shadow or another allergen at that moment.

And I agree with Plei about writing your review.

I personally differentiate makeup by "powders" "creams" "sticks" and "liquids". Powders are further redifined as "cake" or "loose". :D

I hate to disagree with you, but I do. There are LOTS of cosmetic products which can be very harmful and irritating when used in certain areas (generally eyes and lips) but not so to regular face/body skin. You'll see this most often in general consumer end products with things of the red spectrum, but it's something I am faced with on a daily basis in my work.

It may just be the products I have used then, as I have never ever had any issues with it.

I can check my lists for you, since that's an older one from before the EL boycott reached my world I should still have it's info.

I'll note that as another positive for contract work. The last I had a perm position they had a really tedious and flawed review process where you were not supposed to rate yourself better than average among other things...

Bleah!

I feel your pain on the yearly reviews. I only had to do them a couple of times, but I hated them nonetheless. The temptation to print out the review forms and scrawl "READ BIBLE MORE" in crayon for every answer was nearly overwhelming at times.

Though I did have a 'career goals' chat with one of my reps in December; that was comical.

"So, how do you want to improve your skillset?"
"I don't. I'm working to save money for school, then I want to get out. Then, I want to design limbs."

That's really not the answer they want to hear.
