Holiday events, photos, and colder weather usually mean more eye makeup—and while it’s fun to get festive, it’s important to apply with care.
Eye makeup products like mascara, eyeliner, and glitter can cause irritation, styes, or even infections—especially if they’re expired or applied too close to the lash line. Contact lens wearers are especially at risk.
💄 A few tips from our eye care team:
- Always remove makeup completely before bed
- Toss mascara after 3 months
- Never share products with others
- Avoid applying directly on the waterline
If you’re noticing irritation, dry eyes, or bumps along your eyelid—schedule a quick exam to rule out any issues.
