Itchy, Red, Watering Eyes
These are classic symptoms of eye allergies. The eyes could become swollen, itchy and red, with a burning sensation. An allergic reaction to foundation can cause excess tears and watery eyes.
Skin Rash
Skin reaction to allergic substances in foundation can cause development of a skin rash. This can manifest as patches of red, itchy skin that may be scaly, dry, or show small bumps.
Sneezing and Nasal Congestion
Some individuals may find they begin to sneeze frequently or have a stuffy or runny nose after using certain foundations. This is due to an allergic reaction leading to inflammation in the nasal passages.
Swelling of Face, Lips, or Eyes
In some severe cases, an allergy to foundation can cause swelling in areas where the product has been applied. This includes the face, lips, and around the eyes.
Shortness of Breath
Certain chemicals in foundations can trigger a respiratory reaction leading to coughing, wheezing, or difficulty breathing. It's a more serious symptom commonly associated with severe allergic reactions.
Hives
Hives are raised, itchy bumps that appear on the skin after exposure to an allergen. In the case of a foundation allergy, hives may appear on the face or other areas where the product was applied. These usually disappear once the allergen is no longer present.
