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.

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.
