Contact lenses are great, they give you scope to go really dramatic with your make-up, especially your eyes, without it being hidden behind glasses.
However, there are a few things you need to keep in mind when it comes to your beauty regime and contact lenses, here are ten of them:
- First things first, for hygiene reasons you need to wash your hands before going near your eyes.
- Put your lenses in before you put on your make-up. This will help prevent you getting dirt or residue on your lens which can make it hard to see through.
- Take them out before you take off your make-up.
- Don’t wear false lashes. While it’s ok to wear them every now and then they can actually irritate your eyes.
- Avoid mascaras that contain fibres which become flaky. They can get trapped under your lens and damage them.
- Use hairspray before putting on your lashes as it can irritate your eyes.
- Apply liner along the outer lash line not inside, as it can cause an infection.
- Stick with cream shadows to avoid powder getting into your eyes.
- Try to choose pressed face powders over loose ones, again, to stop it getting into your eye.
- Choose products suitable for contact lens wearers or go for hypoallergenic ones.
