Why is it bad to put eyeliner on your tear drop/waterline of your eyes?

Question

Is it bad? Or ok? I'm not so sure. Thanks for your answers!

Answer 1

your eyeliner is dragged across the top of your lid where your eyelashes collect the dirt that falls into your eyes. That dirt is collected onto the eyeliner which is then rubbed into you tear duct where tears are produced. Those tears try to get dirt out of your eye (not only when you are sad), by producing tears to cover your eyeball. when you are covering your eyeball with grime from who knows where it is not very hygienic.  

Answer 2

it is bad... for one, it clogs the pore designed for tears... and it may cause an eye infection,  or worse.  Youre supposed to line the" outside "of the lash line, top and bottom

Answer 3

i put it there, but it tends to smear easier because of the moisture...otherwise i'm not fa sho.

I do it from time to time, and I've not had any problems. And my mother has done it for years, and she's had no problems. As long as you're clean about it, you should be fine. Hope it helps! :)

Answer 6
