Not advisable: Blepharitis involves inflammation of the eyelids and generally leads to blocked eyelid glands. Depending on the severity, mascara can make it worse. Generally my recommendation is to wear mascara for special events and to remove it as soon as you are home. Warm compresses and lid scrubs with dilute baby shampoo as maintenance therapy twice a day will help. Good luck.
