Before Applying Makeup

Wash your hands before touching your eyes or eyelids. If you wear contact lenses, insert them before applying makeup. This helps reduce the chance of makeup particles getting trapped behind the lens. Use preservative-free artificial tears before makeup if your eyes feel dry or irritated, as recommended by your eye care provider.

During Makeup Application

Avoid applying eyeliner to the waterline. Keep makeup outside the lash line when possible. Choose products that do not flake easily. Avoid glitter or loose shimmer near the eyes. Do not share mascara, eyeliner, or eye shadow. Sharing eye makeup can increase the risk of contamination.

At the End of the Day

Remove all eye makeup before bed. Use a gentle remover that does not require aggressive rubbing. Clean the eyelid margin carefully if you are prone to blepharitis, styes, or dry eye symptoms. Replace mascara regularly and discard any product that smells different, changes texture, dries out, or causes irritation.ducts matters, but technique matters too.
