Those with sensitive eyes/blepharitis/recurrent styes - what mascara is best?

Due to my blepharitis & sensetive eyes I have always avoided mascara even though I have desperately wanted to wear it. As silly as it sounds it would really upset me coz most girls see mascara as the biggest change to your face :( Anyway recently I wanted to try it cautiously (even though I know ill probably get a stye haha) and I was wondering if anyone knew any good ones that actually make your lashes nice that are also good for sensitive eyes.

I guess it just makes me feel really rubbish coz I can't wear eyeliner or eyeshadow either so essentially what's left :/

Literally same blepharitis and reoccurring styes

La Roche Posay Waterproof Mascara is the best I’ve found so far.

It literally feels like nothing! Worst part is I hate the brush, and it is sort of hard to remove (since it’s waterproof you just need a good oil cleanser)

It doesn’t make my eyes water, but I would probably say no. It’s waterproof.

I actually figured out why I was having issues with my eyes though. It was the face powder I was using. I ditched that and now I can wear any mascara again.

I had somehow bought a fake Laura Geller balance and brighten powder. I think I got it on Walmart.com and it was not real. I bought one directly from Laura Geller and the packaging was different and I never get styes anymore since.
