Redness and Irritation
Skin reactions directly at the site of contact with the makeup can be common. This can cause redness, itching, burning, or stinging sensation. It's usually localized to the area where the makeup was applied.
Swelling
Swelling, also called edema, is another symptom of a theatrical makeup allergy. This can be localized or can affect larger areas, such as the entire face or neck.
Blisters or Pustules
In severe cases, individuals may develop blisters or small, pus-filled pimples called pustules. These often appear in clusters at the site of contact.
Dry, scaly, or flaky skin
Some people may experience skin dryness or flaking as a result of an allergic reaction to theatrical makeup. This condition is also known as xerosis.
Eyelid Dermatitis
When theatrical makeup is applied around the eyes, it can cause inflammation of the eyelids. Symptoms can include redness, itching, swelling, and flaking of the skin around the eyes.
Respiratory Symptoms
If a person is very sensitive, they may experience respiratory symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, or difficulty breathing. This is typically only in severe cases or when the makeup is applied near the nostrils or mouth.
