Why does it say that make up should be applied after wearing soft contact lenses?

Coz I wear alot of eye make up and it doesn't make sense to wear the lenses first and then apply an eye pencil to the lower lid as it will smear the kohl on the lenses. Why is that suggested?Why does it say that make up should be applied after wearing soft contact lenses?
I am a makeup artist and most of my clients wear contacts. The best thing to do is put it on after, that way you can get things the way you want it, and u can see what you are really doing.

Put soft contact in the eyes before putting on makeup. Put RGP or rigid lenses on after make up is applied.


鈥?Wash your hands prior to putting in each contact, then apply makeup


鈥?Don鈥檛 expose your eyes to water while wearing contacts


鈥?Take out the lenses before you remove your makeup. Avoid greasy or oily makeup removers as they may build up on the contact lenses


鈥?Avoid getting too close to the eye with any type of makeup


鈥?Use makeup that is hypoallergenic to avoid sensitivity. Use only well known trusted brand names


鈥?Use water soluble makeup


鈥?Use only water-based mascara and a brand that is specific for contact lens wearers. Use two thin coats instead of one heavy coat. Don鈥檛 use waterproof mascara as it may permanently adhere to the lens. Also avoid mascara that contains volume building fibers. Beware of flaking mascara because pieces of nylon can reach the eye and never purchase mascara refills. Replace the tube every three months.


鈥?Use powder eye shadow instead of a gel, liquid or cream. Liquid eye shadow has an oil base and too hard to remove form contacts. Never use eye shadow that is frosted or iridescent. These may contain oyster shells or mica. Use a sponge to apply eye shadow instead of a brush to control flying powder.


鈥?Do not use eyeliner that is directly drawn on the rim of the eye. Keep all eyeliner pencils sharp enough so the wood doesn鈥檛 scratch the surface of the eye. The pencil should be soft and the liquid types of eyeliner may flake off. Apply eyeliner to the outside lash line only. Replace this product every three months.


鈥?Use pressed powders


鈥?Don鈥檛 use hairspray or other aerosols if you have already put in your lenses. Allow all hairspray to settle before walking into a room that has just been sprayed. Many times hair products can irritate the eyes and they are more susceptible now to problems because you wear contacts. If you must spray your hair after the lenses are in your eyes, make sure you close you eyes before spraying.


鈥?Keep all nail polish remover and perfumes away from your contacts.


鈥?Never swap makeup application sponges or brushes with your friends and wash your application brushes frequently


鈥?Don鈥檛 put on make up if your eyes are already red or swollen, this will only irritate them more


鈥?Never use saliva or water to thin cosmetics


鈥?Never swap your contacts with your friends


鈥?Never wear the contacts if they become cracked, chipped or torn


鈥?You may want to use an eye wash to remove any excess oils from makeup residual


鈥?Replace all of your cosmetics every six months to avoid bacterial growth


鈥?Never apply eye makeup while in a car or worse yet while driving





What kinds of makeup are best for contact lens wearers?








Waterproof/Water-resistant eyeliner and mascara are good, safe options for contact lens wearers. Your eyes may water after you insert your lenses, and you don't want to undo all the good makeup work you've just done. If your eyes dry out during the course of the day or evening, you may need to use a wetting eye drop product to make the lenses more comfortable to wear. Waterproof eye makeup is the only kind which will stand up to so much liquid in and around the eye. Some mascaras can build up the thickness and length of your lashes with silicone and fibers. Save these products for the times when you are not wearing your lenses. If one of these lash-building particles falls into your eyes, you will need to get to a bathroom fast, so that you can get the lens out of your eye and put an end to the severe pain
