Painful eyelid rash
This could be ezcema, especially if you have a personal or family of ezcema, hayfever or allergies. It could also be an allergic reaction to perfumes, nail polish, new makeup etc. Even if you buy the same makeup, they could have changed the formulation, without you knowing it. You probably need a cortisone ointment to make it better. If you are allergic to lanolin, Aquaphor would make it worse.
