Top Tips for Safe Halloween Eye Makeup:
- Choose Eye-Safe Products
Not all makeup is meant for your eyes! Avoid using non-cosmetic grade products like craft glitter or face paint near your eyes. Stick to makeup labeled as eye-safe to avoid irritation.
- Be Careful with Glitter
Sparkles are fun, but not so much when it’s in your eyes. If you’re using glitter, make sure it’s cosmetic grade, and use it sparingly around the eyes. A good rule of thumb? Use a base product specifically for sticking your glitter on, and opt for a fine glitter.
- Don’t Share Eye Products
Sharing might be caring, but not when it comes to eye makeup! Sharing makeup can spread bacteria, which could lead to eye infections. Keep your spooky eye tools to yourself!
- Avoid the Waterline
Drawing on your waterline might look cool, but it’s a sensitive area prone to infections. Try to keep makeup on your lids and lashes instead to avoid any irritation.
- Remove Makeup Thoroughly
After the fun, it’s time to double cleanse! Use a gentle, eye-safe makeup remover to take eye makeup off, then use it again to make sure there’s nothing left behind that could irritate your eyes overnight.
- Mind the Contact Lenses
Thinking of rocking some colored contacts to complete your look? Make sure they’re prescribed by a professional and properly fitted for your eyes. Never use costume lenses that aren’t from a licensed provider—they can cause serious eye damage!
