Make Up Tips for Contact Lense Wearers

Wearing contact lenses and wearing makeup at the same time is natural and safe provided that you follow a few basic tips when you plan on wearing the two together. 

As always, you should wash your hands and use tools to apply your make up that have been washed or disinfected. 

Your eyes are very important and you need to keep them healthy. Makeup can carry lots of bacteria so it's very important the your makeup does not get mixed in with your contact lenses. 

Apply your eye make up before you put on your lenses. Wait a few minutes for your makeup to dry and then wash your hands. Insert your contact lenses after the makeup has been applied. 

When you ready to remove your contact lenses, please remove your makeup first, then again wash your hands, remove your lenses, thoroughly clean your contact lens case and store your lenses. Repeat this procedure every time you wear makeup and contacts. 

Enjoy the look of brighter looking eyes by mixing colors based on the contact lens color. Blue colored contacts look great with purple and grey eyeshadow! Have fun experimenting with your makeup colors and your eye color. Its a lot of fun!

How to Get Longer, Fuller, Brighter Lashes


I have very short eyelashes and it did not matter what I did, I could never find a mascara that made my eyelashes look long or full.

Five years ago, I found and fell in love with the Maybelline Thick Lash Mascara in the darkest black color that came in the red and black casing.

Sometime last year they changed the look of the bottle and the wand and it never seemed to work the same for me. It's been a year now and I haven't been able to find anything at all that gave me any definition to my eyes. 

I went to Walmart last week and tried out the new
Eye lights Bright Mascara by Cover Girl and was pleasantly surprised. It made my eyes stand out but they were still not long or thick. I decided to get creative and I first put on a layer of Lengthening Mascara and then a layer of the Eye Lights Mascara and voila! I am back in business and love my new long lashes so much, I haven't even worn lipstick or eyeshadow all week. My eyes pop and I love it!Get long lashes that are not only thick but bold also.

Benefits of Makeup Remover



Makeup remover is one of those products a lot of people don't use and never considered to use because they just don't know what it is. I to have to admit, that I have been experimenting with makeup here and there over the last 20 years and have probably used every skin cleanser, toner, or soap every used to wash my makeup face but not a make up remover!

To me, I didn't really know what it was or that it existed. When friends would tell me about it, I thought they were just using soap or plain water. Well I was wrong. Just the other night I slept over at a friends and I was curious to see her nightly beauty routine.

She took a warm wash cloth and squeezed the makeup remover on it and smoothed it all over her face. She did this two times. Then she took  the same cloth and ran it under cold water and patted it all over her face to close her pores. It was amazing. Her face looked like a different shade! I asked her what she was using and it was makeup remover.

The makeup remover double cleans to remove the makeup from your face not leaving any residue behind. Then you are free to use a toner or just go to bed as is. She didn't even need to put a night cream on as the makeup remover also moisturizes the skin.

I tried it to and I liked it and my face did feel a whole lot cleaner. It really does make sense after all to use makeup remover. Wearing makeup for an 8 hour work day at the office is long enough and it's nice to go natural every once in awhile. Only, once in awhile that is...Can't live without my makeup. Love it!!!
