Eye makeup and contacts???

Question

i just got contacts but can you still wear eye makeup(such as: mascara, eye shadow, liner) are there any special tricks when doing your makeup??? should you do the makeup before you put your contacts in or after???

Thanks so much!

Answer 1

I agree, have tried it both ways and putting contacts in first is best!

If you use lotion or baby oil after your shower, be sure to wait 'til they soak in before you put your contacts in.

Another quick tip that I've discovered this year after YEARS of having problems removing eye makeup with contacts in:  they now make oil-free eye makeup remover for contact wearers!  Almay's product is Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover Pads, it is wonderful!  (There's nothing worse than oil or hand lotion getting on your contacts...  well, maybe jalapeno!)  :o)

Best of luck!

Answer 2

Yes you can still wear eye makeup.I put my contacts in first.Some do it after but i smear my mascara all over if i do it that way.If you put them in first just be more care full with loose powders and what not.Good luck!!

Answer 3

Yes, you can still wear make up with contacts.

I would suggest putting your contacts in before you put on your make up. There's a couple of reasons for that, actually, - 1. you want to be able to see when you apply your make up, 2. your hands and face will not be clean when you handle your contacts to put them in, therefore transferring to your lenses and getting them dirty.

I don't know of any tips or tricks, I've always put my make up on the same.
