Headaches from Make-up?

Contributor: lexical lexical
I've noticed that I get really bad "behind the eyes" headaches when I wear make-up. No make-up, no headaches. What's the deal? Does anyone else experience this?

What type of make-up are you talking about? Foundation, eyeshadow, or anything? I've never felt this before.

I usually wear a light powder foundation, a little bit of concealer for the dark circles under my eyes, eyeliner, eyeshadow, a light powder blush, and occasionally mascara and lipgloss. I've started converting most of my make-up stash from cheap drugstore stuff to higher quality stuff and that seems to help a little. But if I wear a lot of eye make-up, it seems to be more likely to happen...Weird, right? I hope someone has some insight for me!

Could it be a talc/mica allergy? I haven't met anyone personally that has that, but I have heard that it's fairly common. You should try for a day just not wearing anything with talc/mica in it and see if that helps.

I would just hate it if I was allergic to cheap makeup! I love getting a ton of colors for a few dollars, though the more expensive stuff does last longer. I hope you find a solution soon!

I've never had a makeup headache. Maybe try a new makeup?
