Hi Archana,
Thanks for writing to us.
It seems you might have developed contact irritant dermatitis due to your make up. Foundations and eye shadows too have an expiry and should not be used beyond an year or two. Erytop would not help in the same as it is an anti acne cream. You need to apply a steroid cream like fluticasone for few days and an oral antihistamine like cetirizine for few days. Also avoid application of cosmetics for few days.
Hope that helped.
