Whilst you can carry on using eye make up when wearing contact lenses, you may wish to be aware of the following guidelines.

• First, insert your contact lenses and then apply make up.
  
  
• Lenses should be removed before removing make up.
  
  
• Fast-drying fibre free mascara is advisable.
  
  
• Eye-colour pencil should not be applied directly on the edge of your lower eyelid- better to apply on edge of lower eyelash.
  
  
• Eye shadow in cream form/compact powder has been shown to be the best type for lens wearers.
  
  
• Liquid eyeliner can lead to some tinting of soft contact lenses.
  
  
• Use a rich eye make up remover for removal of eye make up.
  
  
• Be careful not to allow hand creams, sun lotions and nail polish remover to come into direct contact with the lenses.
  
  
• The same applies to deodorant spray, hairspray, perfume etc.
  
  
• Make sure that your eyes are closed when spraying!
