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.

Clumpy mascara looks unappealing even for someone who doesn't wear contact lenses but it may be dangerous for people who do. Clumps and flakes could fall into your eyes and become trapped under your lenses, which is never fun.

Using a fresh, clean lens every day minimizes the build-up of makeup debris that may or may not be trapped in your lenses (we don't judge). It may be more expensive, but you can't beat it for the convenience factor.
If you're not really into daily lenses, be sure care for your lenses diligently. Always clean your lenses with doctor-recommended solutions and make sure to replace them according to the recommended schedule. Oh, and don't forget to clean your lens cases on a daily basis!
