Do products like eyeliner, mascara, eye-shadow cause eye problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Its possible: When improperly applied, they could irritate the eyes. Be sure you keep them away from the eyeball itself, and don't rub your eyes when you are wearing them. If you have an eye infection, throw them out and start with new ones once it clears up.
