Should I wear my contact lenses before or after applying makeup ?

You should wear contact lenses prior to applying any makeup because your fingers are still clean and because in case your contact lenses would touch your skin it is better not to have any make up that will end into your eyes.

If you makeup your eyes before inserting your contact lenses they could be in contact with eyeliner, mascara or eye shadow and the chemicals used for makeup could be dangerous for your eyes.

Also, if you make up after having inserted your contact lenses you should use it sparingly to avoid debris falling into your eyes and damaging the lens or developing an eye infection.
