Hehe, spoken like the true glitter-on-the-eyelids daredevil that you are!
I actually took a look in the book today and quizzed the brand manager about the eye and lip use for the CCs and the P&P Natural Radiance. Both of these products are listed as not approved for lip and eye. However, just to twist your brain around, every product comes with suggested application steps for use, designed by national trainers and the Natural Radiance steps specifically say to sweep the product on the cheeks, nose and "under the brow bone", before using strobe cream on the cheekbones and then dusting down the center of the face with Careblend powder to finish. Kind of contradictory. So I brought the subject up to the manager and this is what he had to say: They are required to say "not approved for the eye" when the product has only been tested and approved by a dermatologist and not also an ophthalmologist. If it gets checked and approved by an ophthalmologist too, then they don't need the warning. So, some of it is just a cost saving measure to a certain extent. He personally feels that the CC creams are very specifically supposed to be used under the eyes and he personally feels that they're fine on the brow bones, just not on the eyelid where it could possibly sweat into your eye. He remembered some obviously eye-only pigment colors, like blue and green, that you'd never be using on the face, that weren't approved for the eye, so there was always a tacit, go ahead and use it at your own risk element. Fortunately, a lot of those really question mark pigments and ingredients are a thing of the past. I don't think using these items in the eye area will be any more of an issue that using those super glittery MES - heck those are riskier, if you ask me. As for the lips, an MA first tried that out on me and I'm A-OK with continuing it myself. I DO blot my lips down all the way before I eat a full meal, though, and do that no matter what I have on them, because the idea of eating lipstick and gloss is pretty yech to me. Heck, when the subject in one of these threads got on that topic of the reality show where deranged people eat their makeup all day long and finish up with dirty diapers and cat hair for dessert, I had to CLOSE THREAD. :nuts: All I can do is guess they're not lip safe due to the sunscreen ingredients. If you're OK with proceeding with foreknowledge and caution, I'm still gonna say, that lavender CC is a great look under lipstick and your lips are very soft at the end of the day. :busted:
