New veins around eyes??

So just within the past month, I have noticed lots of little veins along my upper lash line! It's so odd. I've never had veiny eyelids but now there is a cluster right next to my upper lash line! Would it be something to do with makeup? How do I make them go away? Someone help me!

I don't think makeup can make a reaction like that. It has to be within something as in not sleeping or not getting enough water. It can also mean stress. You should go to the doctors and check that out.

Have you been experiencing dry eyes or do you suffer any skin conditions? Very dry skin or irritated skin?
I never like to cover up these sort of things until I know what I'm dealing with, but especially when it comes to something such as vision. I'd see an Ophthalmologist or Optometrist. (not to be confused with an Optician.) The first two are trained and licensed to treat eye diseases and infections, but the former has more extensive skills and education than the later. Either should be able to help you in this instance. You can ask a friend or check Yelp for a licensed, reputable one in your area.

For starters, don't panic. The first step is getting an exam. This article discusses veins appearing along the lashline. Although the article begins with dry eye, it evolves into other eye issues that have veins along the eyelid..close to lashes, etc..to appear.

(if you scroll down close to the photos vein appearance in clusters is discussed, but this is in NO WAY intended to make you worry or serve as any type of diagnosis; it's just collective information to see if perhaps you are experiencing similar symptoms or issues.)

Because sudden appearance of veins on the lids could possibly be an eye infection gland infection or gland disease you need to rule that/treat it rather than covering it. Sometimes coughing or eye stress can cause veins to become prominent, but I personally would seek the doc. Your vision is far too precious to play with. It may be something simple and they'll send you along saying the visit wasn't necessary, but better to be safe. Best of luck, hun. It is good you are addressing this. I'd avoid eye makeup as a precautionary measure. In any instance, know that a doctor will guide you and you'll be on a path to bettering your health with some peace of mind. Please, update us and all my best.

Into lotion has benzoyl peroxide in it. If that was going on my eyes every day and night would that be a cause I wonder?

I was asking about skin conditions and dry eye, as these veins are *sometimes* associated with rosacea and dry eyeballs or crusting in the tearducts...per the article that I provided.
The photos explain several situations in which cluster veins appear..all needing an eye doctor, hun. :/
I can't think of any product that would bring on veins on the lids, but stress...who knows...it could be literally anything.
In any event, I wouldn't recommend using Benzoyl Peroxide on my eyelids..ever.

Alright thank you! Last night, I kept my benzoyl peroxide moisturizer away from my eyes and put my natural body lotion around my eyes..which I know might not be best..but it works! And in the morning the veins were hardly visible. So thank you for the tips! I probably just dried my eyes out lol.
