xxept0 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Ok, i just got my first set of contact lenses. Now i was wondering, do i wear eye make up or just make up in general before i put on my contacts or after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromagus Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 I'd say put your contacts in first. That way any makeup that could be left on your fingers or any spills you might have made won't make the lenses dirty.

Erm.... :shock: OK, thanks for your help guys. But er... Wouldn't the debrise from eye shadows and powder make up fly into my eyes? And then cause a fungal infection on my contacts which will evetually fall into my eyes?? :!: :?: That's what i had been thinking since i got my contacts... *regrets not asking optician*. :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I can't see my hand in front of my face without my contacts. But, I've been wearing them now for about five years and can take them out and put them in without even having to look into a mirror. It's very easy to do once you get used to them.

Barihawk Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 goths. How do you know the vast majority of the above posters are female? Regardless, your post was unnecessary and irrelevant. I dont wear much eye makeup, but I would have to force my eyes open for contacts, and it would mess it up. When in doubt, pants first then shoes. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxept0 Posted October 16, 2005 Author Share Posted October 16, 2005 Well yea, it's not like you won't blink when you're sticking a piece of plastic onto your eyeball Razz you've gotta keep em open somehow... ^^ True.... Only i think you've scared off every other person thinking about getting contacts for themselves! Seriously people, Insane is just over exagurating(Aka, being insane! :P). Lol. Well, I can't see my hand in front of my face without my contacts. But, I've been wearing them now for about five years and can take them out and put them in without even having to look into a mirror. It's very easy to do once you get used to them. Actually, that can't happen to me (at least not anytime soon) because i wear contacts with astig. So it has a certain order of putting it on. (they have these annoying things writen on, and there is an N on it. The N has to be in a 6 o'clock position in my eyes or else my world will go blur! :/) But i FINALLY got around asking my optician. He said it is best if i wear my makeup first (not sure why though). Oh well, I'll just test around and see which method is the best. Thanks very much guys! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks very much guys! :D I wear contacts with astig. too, but I have very slight astigmatism. So, I don't have to wear that kind. I used to wear lenses sort of like the ones you described. But, for some reason, I don't wear them anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmw Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Put your contacts in before applying makeup. You don't want to have on your makeup, then struggle not touching anything while trying to stick those contacts in. http://www.allaboutvision.com/contacts/side_makeup.htm http://www.jnjvision.com/cosmetic_dos_and_donts.htm Check that out...backs up what i'm saying.

cromm_croich Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Eye makeup first or else you'll muck it up when u put lenses in. Makeup shouldn't fall in your eyes unless you are putting too much powdered type on, but you could dust with a brush with eyes closed to remove excess. I've been wearing lenses for many years - brilliant & no probs. The one important infection thing is not to keep your eye makeup for too long - or else the microbes start to multiply in the mascara. The problem I have is getting it off. I"m so blind I can't see to remove it without contacts, but the remover hurts my eyes. GRRRRR :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromm_croich Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I MEANT LENSES FIRST. Sorry, my bored feline companion keeps disconnecting my modem. Since I discovered Runescape, he sees it as competition. He can also disconnect the phone. This is one seriously possessive puss. :oops: :oops: :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I'd put the contacts in first. I've been wearing them for something like the last six years, and in the morning I shower, dry off, then put contacts in and proceed to the rest of getting ready, so hands are still clean and stuff.

Yea, it would seem like a given but I often forget to wash my hands before putting them in/taking them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J272 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 It would make sense to me (a non-contact wearer) to put them in first, b/c then, once its in, you can CLOSE your eye to put eye shadow on, eye liner is a diff story, but if you're skilled to any degree, then you'll be OK :wink: J272 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
