Barry M does a lot of vegan products which might help, or try using Mineral Make-up such as Lili Lolo or Jane Iredale.
This is a bit of an obvious one but make sure your brushes are cleaned regularly and dont use make-up that is too old, especially eye liners and mascara, as they get full of bacteria.
For me it's usually when the sun is too hot/bright. I don't get it so bad nowadays, but I remember in the height of summer I'd be walking home from school and could barely see.
Could have been down to hayfever but I didn't know I actually had it.
Mine do that too, and everyone used to ask me why you cryng etc and it was embarassing lol. For over a decade I thought mine was hayfever and polllen allergy etc. When I went to see the eye specialist he said it was blepharitis (sp?). I need to use a hot towel for 2 mins every day and night and it stops my eyes watering like crazy. It could be a blocked tear duct?
Instead of guessing I would go see my GP who will refer you to an eye specialist at the hospital.
It's what I thought I had for many years (over a decade). Blepharitis is far more common than most people imagine.
Mine is mostly one eye too.
I went to my GP regarding it and they said there was nothing they could do.
