Hints And Cosmetic Tips For Wearers Of Contact Lenses
24th December 2010 by Cataracts No CommentsMakeup for wearers of contact lenses can require less restraint than that used by a wearer of spectacles, but that doesn’t mean that you slap it all on. The sultry, sparkly styles of after hours makeup that can match your eye colour and attire want a lot more thought if you wear contacts.
It is up to you if you apply your make up before of putting in your daily or monthly contact lenses. Though, if you wear a strong prescription you will most likely need to pop in your lenses prior to putting on your cosmetics. And in the majority of cases, the best option is apply make up earlier if you use soft contact lenses and proceeding make up application if you wear gas permeable lenses for astigmatism.
Each time apply your make up with washed fingers or tools. Rinse them in hot water and lather and completely dry them, instead you can use non-reusable cotton wool buds to smooth eye shadow, loose eyeshadow can aggravate your eyes. Waterproof eyeliner and mascara are an improvement and ensure that the label says hypo-allergenic. Many of the newer lengthening and thickening mascaras contain filaments that cling to your eyelashes but purchase at the top end of your budget as the less expensive brands can be brittle and flake away, causing irritation. Do not pump the brush to fill the applicator brush, this quickens drying out and spreads micro-organisms. Always change your mascara after 3 months use.
Several powder and cream eyeshadows have glitter pigments
to enhance the eyes. But, they can trigger inflammation, so if your eyes itch and weep then think of wearing a non-sparkle eyeshadow or add a primer beforehand. This will hold your look and stop sliding so you will not have to reapply as often.
Below are a number of tips for cosmetic use for users of monthly or daily contact lenses.
- Employ a moisture spray after applying cosmetics to fix your look.
- ALWAYS remove your contact lenses prior to taking off your makeup. Using hypo-allergenic throwaway cloths or an oil-free solution. Rinse your eyes to remove all remaining traces.
- Keep your brushes clean. Wash and switch your applicators often, using shampoo.
- Change your cosmetics on a regular basis. Base makeup and mascara should be thrown away after 3 months use.
- Use hairspray carefully and make sure hair stays away from your eyes if you use styling products.
