EYE DOCTORS HELP NEEDED !!! EYELINER ON WATERLINE?!


Question: EYE DOCTORS HELP NEEDED !!! EYELINER ON WATERLINE?
does wearing eyeliner on your waterline (lid before the lashes closest to the eye) top and bottom do any damage to your eyes ??? short term or long term...

please help i have been getting mixed reviews from people who wear makeup but not from a doctor or an optition type person ???

i was doing it for 2 and a half years got told it was dangerous and so i have stopped for 1 year... but i think it looks so much nicer on the waterline but it is not worth putting my eyes at risk ....

any help please
thanks

The opening to your meibomian glands is in this area. Putting make up on them risks clogging them. You also risk getting makeup in your eyes or on your contacts. Your lids are intended to be a barrier between your eyes and the outside world.

My source is four years of optometry school and over 20 years of experience. Wiki is a convenient place to go for diagrams and more detailed explanations that I have time to make.

it's not dangerous as long as you wash it off, don't listen to this other guy, his source is wiki which isn't a reputable source

I'm a freelance make up artist
