Once you are on antibiotics for 24 hours for pink eye can you wear makeup?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Bacterial conjunctivitis after 24 hours, fine. Be careful, liquid mascara can become infected. Viral conjunctivitis-- not until symptoms resolve.

Been wearing eye makeup for years, but a few months ago my eyes began getting bloodshot and painful every time I wear any sort of mascara/eyeliner, even "hypoallergenic" brands. Not sure what to do? Can't find a brand that doesn't cause irritation?
