Unhappy Allergi with Grape pigment
Hi,
I'm new here and also like others, would like to have if you had this problem. I recently purchased Grape/p and next day my eyes were affected swollen and very red and also itchy. Its been now 2 day, since i tried it. I heard that purple colors have strong pigmentation and can affect the eyes. Has anyone here had this situation b-4? I feel sad bcause i love my mac and since it was my first pigment, i was wasnt too sure on if should get me other colors. I'm waiting for you feedback ladies!!!! Thanks for reading this!

Re: Allergi with Grape pigment
heeey
oh im so sorry for you.. i havn't had any problems with my pigments purples or others..
i've had a test done at my docters place.. to see if there was anything i would get allergy from. luckely there isn't anything. but maybe you should try putting the pigment on your under arm and place a piece of tape over it.. then wear it for 24 hours if you have allergy i guess it would show.

Re: Allergi with Grape pigment

Re: Allergi with Grape pigment
Grape Pigment isn´t eyesafe, that´s why you had these problems. Checking the precautions list before buying something really pays off at these situations...

Re: Allergi with Grape pigment
There should be a slip of paper in the box with the pigment that lists Grape as unsafe for the eyes.

Re: Allergi with Grape pigment
Lots of pigments ARENT eyesafe, you should check before you use any of them on eyes.

I have used grape on my eyes and not had a problem - but I always use a base first and sometimes this helps.

Re: Allergi with Grape pigment
I have had the same thing happen with grape pigment. While it is not eye-safe, sometimes I test my luck. Grape burned my eyelid the first time I tried it and I immediatly took it off. Have never tried that again.

I will never wear pigments in my life i guess. If i only knew! the best thing in all this is that i returned them without any problem. But still so have a bad feeling about it! Did you only had a problem w/Grape? Can someone tell me what other product are unsafe other than pigments?

Re: Allergi with Grape pigment
alot of people have reactions to purples and pinks. it is usually the red dye #5 that they react to. make sure there isn't that dye in the product, and that it is eye safe as well.
