Hey girlies, so I just got contacts and I was wondering if you guys had any tips or brands of eyeliners and mascaras. I was also wondering if you guys had any makeup looks for contacts!! (pics) Thanks:)

I've been wearing contacts since 2008 and I do my makeup normal..nothing really bothers my eyes if they do just take um out wet with solution and pop back in.

Does anyone know any good hypoalergenic eyeliners and masacaras that don't flake or smudge onto contacts!?

Nothing really will flake into your eye in my experience, but I have sensitive eyes so I cannot wear eyeliner, or mascara on my bottom lashes.

You can actually use what ever you want! Just apply makeup after you put in your contacts :)

I use anything! Be careful it doesn't get in your eye though its bad. You aren't really supposed to waterline your eyes

Physician's formula is actually a really good brand for hypo-allergenic and extra-safety needs. The liners are nice and not flaky. I would stay away from L'Oreal's mascaras, as they tend to contain collagen and lash-building fibers, which, although they make your lashes dense, tend to flake and irritate contacts easily. Instead, opt for the NYX Doll Eyes in lengthening. They really define and lengthen your lashes and don't flake at ALL.
Hope I helped!  :)

Any hypoallergenic! I use Almay and Urban Decay and they both work well for my eyes. I have sensitive eyes too, so they are very helpful!

Almay, Physicians Formula, or Urban Decay are good hypoallergenic brands, but I find that I can use normal brands as long as I put my contacts in before doing my makeup. Just make sure you change out your eyeliner and mascara especially every few months. If a clump of mascara full of bacteria gets in your eye, it could give you an eye infection, so changing out your eye makeup is really important when you have contacts!
