How to put on makeup if you wear contact lenses

Wearing contact lenses should not be an impediment to putting on makeup. Here we give you some tips on how to do it without endangering your visual health.

There are many women who wear glasses, but more wear contact lenses. If you are one of them, you are going to love these tips for a good makeup. It is not that there is a different routine and that the products are special. What you have to take care of is not to irritate the eyes. If shadows and eyeliner can make them red, with contact lenses it is much more likely.

So that this does not happen and you have impeccable makeup without looking like you cried, follow these tips:

Wash your hands.

You probably think that it is an obvious step, but many times it is a step that is forgotten. The first step before putting on your makeup is to put on your contact lenses, so don’t risk doing it with dirty hands, because it’s like starting off on the wrong foot. Dry your hands well before putting them on. Do not touch your eyes with tap water. It is not healthy.

Avoid oils

There are many products, especially makeup, that are made from oils. Have you mixed water with oil? They don’t go together. What happens is that these bases can make contact with your eye very easily. What happens is that your glasses are going to fog up. Although you are not going to be irritated, seeing is going to be uncomfortable.

Do not put eyeliner on the upper eyelid

There are sebaceous glands there. If you cover these glands with eyeliner or shadows, your eyes will become dry, irritated, and your lenses will be anything but clean. To open up the eyes, better line the outside and make sure to apply the mascara well from the base of the lashes.

Choose your mask

Whether you wear glasses or not, choosing mascara is always a nightmare. It is especially difficult to find one that does not clump. If you wear contact lenses, this is much worse, because the clumps end up falling off and impeding your vision.

Wear disposable lenses

It is probably not the most comfortable, but it is the most hygienic. Changing lenses every day gives your eyes a fresh start every time. If you don’t want to, then you should always clean your lenses even if you feel lazy.
