Keep your eyes clean by putting on your makeup after inserting your contact lenses. This may seem like an obvious step, but putting on your makeup first could result in particles getting on your eyes' protective filter — where it would then get trapped under your lenses, causing irritation and redness, perhaps even infection.

Stick with oil-free eye products
Oils from creams and eyeshadows often end up migrating into your eyes — and as anyone who wears contacts knows, the tiniest bit of oil can lead to some seriously cloudy lenses. Keep your vision free and clear by sticking to oil-free products Maybelline New York Great Lash Washable Mascara, $4.49.
On the topic of eye products, it's better to use cream eyeshadows. With powder formulas, it's pretty easy to get fallout in your eyes, which is no fun when you're wearing contacts. Try Clarins Ombre Iridescente, $25, a cream-to-powder eyeshadow.
Speaking of eyeshadow, primer is key, too: It'll help lock your eye makeup in place and keep it from drifting into your eyes and lenses. Try NYX HD Eyeshadow Base, $6.99.
Have you ever tried to waterline your eyes whilst rocking contacts? We don't recommend it — it'll lead to irritated, watery eyes (which in turn leads to major raccoon eyes). Stick to the lashline and above and leave tightlining for another day.
