Bump on my eyelid??!

Good Morning everyone!! So I was applying eye shadows and I felt little weird on one of my eyelids. This is the first time feeling this and suddenly I see a bump growing. Could it be the eyeshadows that I applied to it? Is this allergic reaction? Idk help!

Omg I had one of these two weeks ago. It's an infection. Most likely an internal sty. Go to the doctor now, it'll get bigger. I don't mean to scare you, but mine did. The doctor will most likely give you an antibiotic ointment or drops to put in the eye. I had both, and the drops worked for me. Also here's a pic of how bad mine got:

I second on the sty. I get them from time to time myself when I get super stressed or when I go tightlining overboard. Be sure to clean all brushes that came in contact with your eyes so you don't re-infect yourself. Also spray down your eyeshadows and pencil eyeliners with alcohol as well. To soothe the irritation in the meantime just apply a warm compress to the lid. I've never taken the meds for my stys...even against the advice of my doc. I just lay off using any cosmetics period and I just let it run its course. After about three days mine have gone away on its own.

I 2nd. clean everything b stop using eye makeup until it totally clears..

in addition to the compress when I feel a sty coming on. I put witch hazel on a cotton ball and just hold it on my eye. (don't put it in your eye. just on top.). to this day I have never fully gotten a sty. the itchy weird feeling goes away n the irritation goes Down

Uhh Lillianette, it looks like a sty :( I know how much that can hurt!!
One thing that really helps the pain and also helps the infection is to make a really strong cup of chamomile tea, let it cool of, and dip cotton balls in it and then lay them on the eye!

Hope you feel better :)
