Check the ingredients list on the back of makeup before you buy it. Avoid products that have common allergens like parabens, sulfates, petroleum-based ingredients, or silicones.  If you’re allergic to gluten, make sure you aren’t buying makeup that contains wheat which is a surprisingly common ingredient. There are no FDA or government standards for what constitutes “hypoallergenic.” Companies can use the label whenever they’d like, so always read the ingredients before you assume a product is okay for you. Fragrance is one of the worst offenders when it comes to irritation. You may not think your foundation or highlighter has a smell, but fragrance is often included to cover up the scents of ingredients. Stay away from fragrances in any products that go on your face near your eyes including moisturizers and eye creams. Moisturizing ingredients that have been added to makeup like concealer, mascara, or cream eye shadow can help prevent your eyes from getting red and dry throughout the day. Other good-for-you additives include organic oils, butters, and cucumber extract. This includes anything from eye shadows to bronzers to mascara. The tiny pieces of glitter can easily fall into your eyes, causing discomfort. Tubing formulas cover your lashes in tiny wet tubes that, as they dry, bind to your lashes. They're often water-based. Other formulas that you just paint on are made from waxes and tend to flake off and dry out your eyes. Lengthening, thickening, or waterproof mascaras sound great but they also come with extra chemicals that bother your eyes. Colored mascaras are also a no-no as dye (especially red dye) can cause watering eyes.  Thickening mascara contains hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) which is used to make bubbles in soap. Waterproof mascara is tougher to remove so you’ll be rubbing - and irritating - your eyes more.

One-sentence summary -- Use makeup that doesn't contain allergens. Look for fragrance-free makeup that won’t irritate your eyes. Buy eye products with hydrating properties like aloe vera or vitamin B5. Avoid makeup with glitter or sparkles. Pick a tubing formula mascara that goes onto your lashes while wet. Stick to basic black mascaras that don’t have added properties or dyes.

Q: Once you (or the HR department or hiring manager) have selected a candidate to fill the job opening, send a rejection email to non-interviewed candidates as soon as possible. This will keep the candidates from developing false hopes and allow them to begin searching for another job. Ideally, send a rejection email on the next business day after you’ve made a hiring decision. Since the candidate never came in for a face-to-face interview, the message can be fairly brief. Open with the candidate’s full name. Then, write something like, “Thank you for your application for the position of Creative Director at ABC Advertising. While we were impressed by your resume, we ultimately offered a different candidate the position. We wish you the best of luck in your career.” Sign your name at the bottom of the email, and send it once you’ve checked for any errors. Finding out that their job application has been rejected can be tough for applicants. However, for the sake of professionalism, don’t apologize or act as if you disagree with the company’s hiring decision. Never let on if there were any differences of opinion regarding hiring the individual. For example, don’t write write, “Although I would’ve loved to hire you, our hiring manager had other ideas.” If the individual replies to your email and wants to know what strengths the hired candidate possessed that they didn’t, reply with another 3-4 sentence email. Make your email succinct and objective so you won’t get involved in a back-and-forth email exchange. For example, write something like, “While we found your resume compelling, it came down to an issue of work history. You had several multi-year gaps in your employment history that inclined us to hire a different individual.”
A: Email the individual as soon as you’ve hired a different candidate. Draft an email that’s no longer than 3-4 sentences. Do not apologize for not hiring the candidate in the email. Offer a brief reply if a candidate writes back with questions.

Article: Asking questions is a great way to learn more about the perspective of the other person. Questions will also allow the person to indirectly know that you value his thoughts and feelings. Being open to whatever the person might have to say is a sign of compassionate communication.  Make sure your questions are open-ended, allowing the person to choose how to respond. Leading questions, or questions that are attempting to persuade someone else of the correctness of your own point of view, don’t show respect for the other person’s feelings. If you ask questions that can be answered with yes or no, make sure you allow the person time to provide additional clarification if he chooses. It’s vital that you have a way to express your emotions, but in order to be sensitive to another person’s feelings you may have to take care in how you do this. Sticking to statements that start with “I” will help you say what you’re feeling without appearing to blame another person.  For example, “I’m feeling sad about what you just said, because it reminds me of an experience I had in high school…” will be kinder than “You’re wrong, because when I was in high school, this happened to me.” If you’re expressing empathy with the other person in the conversation, chances are he’ll be able to respond to your feelings with empathy as well. When offering feedback, make sure to offset any negative criticism with an equal or greater affirmation of what you find the person doing well. Be very free to find areas that you feel you can genuinely appreciate, and be sparing (but direct) with any criticism.  Being sensitive to someone’s feelings doesn’t mean pretending to be someone you’re not. However, before you offer your opinion or ideas about another person’s experience, always check and make sure that the person wants your honest opinion. Focusing your feedback on the person’s actions, rather than who she is as a person, may help prevent hurt feelings. If a person is going through a hard time, try not to say things like “Everything happens for a reason,” or “I know exactly how you feel.” Your intentions may be good, but telling someone that his bad experience may be “a blessing in disguise” is insensitive to your friend’s feelings.  Instead, acknowledge the person’s feelings. Some variation of “I’m sorry this happened,” is likely to be met with appreciation, as are statements like “What you’re going through sounds really hard.” It’s okay to let him know that you don’t know what his experience is like. If you’ve been through something similar, acknowledge that what he's going through may be different from your own. Your nonverbal communication may be even more important to another person’s interpretation of your message than your words. While the particulars of body language will vary by culture, in general the following are suggested as a way to communicate respect:  Making frequent eye contact while you speak. This will allow another person to realize that you’re sincerely attempting honest communication. However, eye contact shouldn’t be sustained for long periods of time, or it may be interpreted as aggression. Direct your body towards the other person as you talk. Intermittent, light touches on the person’s outer arm may communicate friendliness and support. More sustained pressure may not be welcome, or may feel either aggressive or flirtatious. It can be a good idea to ask someone if it’s okay before offering even a light touch. Then, respect the person’s response. Keep your arms uncrossed and relaxed. Make sure your facial muscles are relaxed, and smile if this comes easily to you.
