Eye Makeup and Contact Lenses

When make up or cosmetics get into the eyes, they prove to be an irritant. But when one is wearing contact lenses, this annoyance is enhanced. This is because it can stick to the lenses instead of it flushing out of the eyes in normal conditions.Caring for your contact lenses is important to maintain healthy eyes. Follow these tips to keep will help to keep your eyes looking good and feeling good.

• Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching your contacts, so you won't transfer any oils, creams, or lotions to the lenses. Moreover, the make used must be non-allergic.
• Ensure that you wear your contact lenses before applying your makeup.
• Cream eye shadow is less likely to get in your eye than powder. However, creams can be a harsher irritant if they do make it into your eyes. Choose water-based rather than oil-based creams.
 
• If you prefer powder based make-up, keep your eyes closed during application. Ensure that you brush off any excess powder before opening your eyes.
• Avoid applying eyeliner between your lashes and your eye. Apply eyeliner only on the portion of your lashes that is well away from your eye.
