Eye make up tips - caring for your eyes

One aspect of eye make-up, is ensuring you are looking after your eyes. The eye area can easily become infected or sore, if proper care isn't taken with make-up.

Make-up does expire and this is particularly important with eye-make-up, which should be discarded after three months. If you develop an eye infection, discard all your eye-make up that has been applied immediately prior to developing the infection and start again. Never share your make-up with anyone else and avoid using make-up testers in stores.

If you are prone to allergy, only try one new product at a time. If you find an allergy, check the ingredients and keep track of what may be causing the allergy.

Ensure your face and eyelids are thoroughly cleansed before applying make-up and ensure you don't cover the oil glands of the upper and lower eyelid as these oil secretions protect the eye surface.

If you are prone to dry eyes, avoid powder eye-shadow and glitter, as these flakes can easily cause irritation, by getting onto the tear duct.

Ensure you remove all eye-make-up at night, especially mascara, as this can lead to irritation and infection.
