Makeup Tips for Contact Lens Wearers
Many people who wear contact lenses tend to have some difficulty in using eye make-up. Often eyes become sensitive and great care must be taken not to let any foreign bodies from entering your eyes.
Hypoallergenic Products
It’s a good idea to cut down the risk of sensitivity by selecting eye make-up that is hypoallergenic.
Hand creams and Lotions
Don’t use hand creams or lotions before handling contacts. They can leave a film on your lenses.
Foundation
Choose water-based, hypoallergenic liquid foundations. Cream makeup may leave a film on your lenses.
Soft vs. Hard
If you wear soft lenses put them on before you apply your eye make-up. If your wear hard lenses, insert them after you have finished your make-up.
Eye Shadow
Its best to stick to using cream, pressed powder or automatic eye shadow for shading but if you prefer to use loose powder, mix it with water before brushing onto lids.
Keep Away!
Keep false eyelash cement, nail polish, nail polish remover, perfume and cologne away from the lenses. They can damage the plastic.
Avoid
Fibreless mascara and the softest pencils are a must, and anyone wearing contact lenses should avoid penciling on the insides of the lids. Avoid lash-extending mascara, which has fibers that can irritate the eyes. Waterproof mascara, which cannot be easily removed with water may stain soft contact lenses.
Hair drying and Hairspray
Blink your eyes frequently while under a hairdryer or blower to keep your eyes from getting too dry. Use hairspray before putting on your contacts. If you use hairspray while you are wearing your contacts, close your eyes while spraying and for a few seconds afterwards.
Removing makeup
Take care while removing makeup to, tissues or dampened cotton wool are essentials for this in order to avoid stray fibers getting in the eye. Remove lenses before removing makeup.
