I recently started using eye makeup and wanted to know what the signs are for an eye infection so that i don't use my makeup and get it contaminated.

Red eye + discharge: Infection is rare from eye makeup especially if you do not share it with others. Most have expiration dates as well. Washing your face before applying makeup can help also. If you were to get an infection the eye might redden, there might be a pus like discharge and the eye might get light sensitive. But millions of users for eye makeup show that this is uncommon.
