Put Your Contacts First

This is the number 1 rule to remember. If you put on makeup first and then you put on your contacts, chances are makeup residue will stick to your contacts and that can cause irritation or you might end up with an eye infection.

Choose the Right Products

Powder eye shadow is an excellent choice if you’re wearing contacts. These types of shadows are pressed and they won’t end up into your eyes. Avoid using loose powder shadows.
A liquid liner is a better and a healthier choice than eye pencils. Ophthalmologists say that using eye pencils can sometimes be dangerous because the wood can cut your lids.
When it comes to mascaras, we recommend you to avoid using fiber mascaras.

Remove Your Contacts Before Removing Your Makeup

Women mainly use a solvent to remove their makeup and leaving your contacts on while removing your makeup can cause serious irritation. Take out your contacts and focus on thoroughly removing your makeup and maintaining your eyes healthy.
