Likely: Stop using the makeup and apply a warm wet washclothe at least four times per day. If this does not work in a week., see an ophthalmologist.

Probably: Apply hot compresses and see what happens over next day or 2. Also could be a bite, or early chalazion. If you wear contact lenses, see doctor today, though.
