Eye makeup with Contact Lens

For those who you wear contact lens and wear makeup we present a few tips to prevent irritations and infections to the eye and yet look great with eye makeup.

Eye lenses before or after makeup?

It would be better to put the lenses on first if your eyes tend to water a bit. If you put them on after makeup and your eyes water it can totally ruin your makeup and you would have to start all over again.

The same would be to take them off before you take off the makeup. And do this gently.

Use water-based makeup removers and remove the make up with sterilized cotton. Avoid fragrance and oil based ones as they can cause irritation.

Mascara

For any kind of make-up its best to use branded products. Mascaras which are thick an blotchy are to be avoided. The mascaras that tend to lengthen your eyelashes contain fibers’ which may cause irritation to the eye so you need to try them first and use.

Avoid the eye water lines

Applying the eye pencil, kohl or the liquid eyeliners on the water line areas should be avoided. The product could get on to your lenses whether you put the lenses before or after makeup.

Cream based makeup

Try not use too much of powder based makeup as this could get onto your eyes. Now if you have an oily skin it could be a bit difficult to use powder based makeup , try combining the powder with a cream agent and test the makeup. Use face compacts for powdering your face as a better option for dusting the face with powders.
