An eye infection is uncomfortable, unsightly, and all-around unpleasant. If you have an eye infection, you’ll want to discover the cause as quickly as possible so that it doesn’t happen again. Could your eye makeup problems be to blame? Unfortunately, the answer is yes.

Eye makeup can actually cause a few different types of problems for your eyes if you’re not careful. You might accidentally scratch your cornea with an applicator. This can be painful, and if it causes a corneal abrasion, it could lead to an infection. You might have an allergic reaction to your eye makeup, causing your eye to become swollen, red, and irritated. Sometimes, allergies can lead to eye infections, but the most common type of eye infection is conjunctivitis. Also called pink eye, this condition can be viral or bacterial. In either case, it’s painful and extremely contagious. Here are some steps you can do to prevent eye infections.
