Contact lenses & eyeliner?!


Question:

Contact lenses & eyeliner?

Can you wear contact lenses on the inner rim of ur eye whilst wearing contact lenses... like maybe hypo-allergic eyeliner or something?


Answers:

DO:

Apply your lenses before you apply makeup.
Wash your hands thoroughly before you apply your lenses. (Even moisturizer or sunscreen can cause stinging or other problems, so wash up!)
Apply eye shadow and liner gently, so you don’t jostle or damage your lenses.
Use oil-free and fragrance-free eye makeup.
Use water-resistant mascara and eyeliner to prevent flaking and smudging.
Replace mascara every month.
Replace eyeliner every three months.
Replace eye shadows every six months.
Call your eye care professional if you have any redness, pain, swelling or irritation.
Remove your lenses before you remove your eye make-up.
Remove all eye makeup every day. Use a hypoallergenic remover, preferably oil-free.


DON’T:

Don’t wear makeup (or apply your lenses) if your eyes are swollen, red or infected.
Don’t share makeup.
Don’t share contact lenses.
Don’t use saliva to apply shadow, thin liquid eyeliner or to try to get another use out of old mascara.
Don’t apply eyeliner to your inner lid (inside the lashes).
Don’t apply mascara at the base of your lashes. Start from the midpoint and extend to the tips.
Don’t use mascara with “lash-building fibers.” Fibers can damage your lenses.
Don’t wear false eyelashes.
Don’t expose your makeup to heating or freezing. (When flying, keep your makeup in your carry-on bag, not with your checked luggage.)
Don’t wear your lenses when you go to the hair salon. Even “second-hand” spray and fumes can damage your lenses.
Don’t wear your lenses while you color or perm your hair.
Don’t use aerosols (hairspray, etc.) with your eyes open.
