I wore makeup two days before i noticed pink eye. should i throw it away?

Probably not: If you have classic pink eye, then it is a viral illness which your body will develop antibodies to. You can then use the make up after you get over the pink eye. Do not share it however and you might consider that in your more intimate moments, that the virus might be on your make up and be spread to others.
