Super helpful! As a new contact lens wearer I have so much to learn. The tip about washing my hands after applying moisturizer was new to me. Thank you so much!
Great tips Dr. Rupa! As a long time contact lens wearer, I’ve experienced eye infections from the very things you discussed. One thing that has worked for me is using baby shampoo to remove my eye makeup. Also, never go to bed with eye makeup on. Sounds cliche but I’ve had to learn that lesson more than once. Appreciate your videos so much!!!
The simplest things are the best - and there's a reason everyone always says to remove eye makeup before you go to sleep. It's so important!!!
Great tips thanks. Will definitely try some cream eyeshadows out
Awesome, let me know how you like them!
no tightlining - explains a few things! my eyes itch like crazy when I do that. Thank you
I wear contacts and realized it was liner causing excessive dryness and irritation when I tightlined. There's only two brands that don't cause irritation or dryness when I tightline. The Sephora Brand Retractable Eyeliners and NYX Retractable Eyeliners.
I love the look of tightlining. Baseline - it's not great if you have dry eyes. And, it really can exacerbate problems (like causing itching in your case!) when wearing contacts. Just do it right underneath the lash line to be safe!
@@DionLuvsMakeup Yes, I keep meaning to do a review on eyeliners! Would that be a good video?
Thank u!!i constantly wear makeup and i might switch to contacts soon!! Very helpful !
You're so welcome!
Awesome video Dr. but what tips do you have when it comes to wearing temporary false lashes with glue?
Hi Dr. Rupa! It would be great to have a video about eye makeup use for those that use hard lenses (sclaral, RGP, etc). Thank you!
I have added this to my suggestions list. Thank you!
@@DrRupaWong please do one!
Thank you so much for the video! I had experienced such irritation from my mascara and when you said avoid waterproof makeup, that's exactly what I had been wearing. Now I will buy non waterproof mascara :)
I do appreciate your videos. Thank you for the informative content ☺️
Thank you for being here, Heather! I'm glad to share! If you have any other topics you would like me to talk about just let me know
Great video. TY for the information. I am a new subscriber. Do you have a video on best eye lubricant drops, best drops for itchy eyes and review on Lumify? I liove Lumify but use it sparingly since I don't know how it effects the health of the eye. I have never found a lubricant drop that works well. TY
Awesome... Thanks.
Thank you!😍
Thanks for cool tips! I wear contacts since forever bu quite new to eyeliners and shadows, super nice advice!
You're so welcome!
@@DrRupaWong 😊
Dr.Rupa, I tried to hold it back because I thought my question is impolite, but I just couldn't stop thinking about it. You looks so beautiful in this video, so elegant, immaculate and stylish. Do you have some videos where you say what do you do to your eyes so that they look so beautiful? And I am astounded by your hair style. Do you mind sharing, how do you style it so that it looks soo nice?
Sorry for curiosity and thank you in advance ☺️🙏
Thank you so much for making this video. I was thinking waterproof was the best for contacts.
Glad this helped! Thanks for being here😊😊
Useful video. What about those who wear toric lenses but have plus power ? To put on the make properly, I think I see better without the lenses, but after I put them on I am not satisfied as I can see the under eye dark circles or bags which have not been covered adequately . So vision wise also, with toric but with someone who is in her early 60's , should I wear the lenses and put on make up?
Thank you Dr. Rupa.... I have a question about my contacts not getting clean. I have monthly soft contacts and by the third or fourth day of wear I have a hard time getting the contact clean. It usually has a moon shaped cloud that won't come off easily even after cleaning them as you demonstrated and also soaking overnight. I use a mascara primer and also a shadow primer on my lid. Could this be the problem?
I would like to know if applying false lashes or having individual lashes applied safe for daily contact lens wearers?
Is tight-lining with non-waterproof eyeliner pencil any safer if you use rewetting drops like *Blink-n clean Dry contacts lens drops* after application and several times throughout the day? It claims to remove protein deposit build up from lenses when used as directed.
Thank you for this information. I wear contact lenses and want to wear make-up and I have also been trying to find information for eye make-up that is suitable and safe to wear while wearing lenses. Our eyes are very precious and I don't want to put my eye health at risk with the incorrect use of eye/makeup products.
I'm so glad it was helpful!!
@Dr. Rupa Wong yes it was helpful, I wanted to try tight lining for so long but was worried to do it, so I appreciate your thoughts on that. I'm really enjoying your videos, thank you
Any tips for getting makeup off my Scleral lenses?? It damages them everytime and I can’t buff out the blurry patch. Please help!
Thank you so much even tho I have always washed my hands right before I am putting contact lenses and I never use hand towel to dry them cause my doctor told me it’s one of the places with most bacteria and leaves tiny hair on your fingers so I use a strong one time use paper towels to dry my hands which I think is really good advice from my doctor but I had no idea I need to put it before my moisturizer which makes sense cause even tho I wash my hands the moisturzer can be really hard to wash off with soap and water cause I use the ones that are more thic and ofc because it’s on my eyelids already🤦🏻♀️
I put my contact lenses in before doing my makeup but makeup keeps getting underneath my contact lenses and hour later. Do you know why this could be and how I can avoid it?
It can still happen. Probably the type of makeup. Certain shadows can have more fall out than others and mascara is also a notorious culprit (this happens to me too). Put in a drop of preservative free artificial tears to help get the particles out
Can you do a video on digital eye strain? I’ve had it for two weeks but don’t know why it came in on when my screen time hasn’t changed. I can’t seem to get rid of it.
Thanks for the video. Is there any scientific evidence regarding eyelashes falling out due to curling them? I remember hearing this before but was not sure if this is true or not. I have an eyelash curler and I clean it with alcohol before and after use to prevent any bacteria to get in my eyes, but does the physical action of curling them have any side effects?
I always put my contacts in first because my eyes tear a bit afterward and I didn't want to ruin my makeup.
I avoid glitter like a plague. With or without my contacts in, glitter shadow irritates my eyes. It seems to refuse to rinse out and gets caught underneath my lids, and each time I blink I feel it scratching my eyeballs. UGH!
Yup, exactly what happens! I love glitter, but it's just not worth the discomfort if you're wearing contacts.
Could you please do a video on tubing mascaras and whether those should be avoided? I have sensitive eyes and like to wear mascara when I wear contacts. My skin produces a lot of oil around my eyes so it's almost impossible for me to wear non-waterproof mascara!

I just got soft contact lenses. Am doing everything you suggest. After removing them at night, can I use castor oil for my lashes?? Wondering if that would interfere in any way. Thanks.
Should i wear my eye liner above my lash line before wearing contact lenses or after?
I did put them in before doing my makeup though
This is so helpful mahalo doctor! Aloooha from Honolulu
I am glad I could help!
Thank you for these tips. I use my finger to apply glitter shadows on the moveable part of my lid and get less fall out.
I found you channel when I was searching for information on tight lining. I like the look of it, but it irritated my eyes. I would also often hit my eye or my contact, especially on my left side because I am right handed. It baffles me that so many beauty UA-camrs recommend it, even those who are safety conscious.
Thanks for being here! I hope this was helpful.
What if your nearsighted and when your contacts are in, it's hard to see up close ?
Hi Dr. Rupa. Can you double
Up on your contacts eg clear contact lenses and Halloween colored lenses
Hey Chloe, great question! That would be super thick, uncomfortable, and could cause damage. I have just done a video on costume contacts. I will link it here:ua-cam.com/video/XvjTsrEqnyA/v-deo.html
What does one eye sperical and the other cylindrical mean? Is contant lens advisable for such a condition or is it better to stick to glasses?
Cylindrical just means you have astigmatism. Spherical just means you're only near or farsighted. You can definitely get contacts and in the proper pair really enjoy being glasses-free!
What eyeliner do you use to tightline? I like to tightline just the top.
ua-cam.com/video/ZJpAK4-Kz4U/v-deo.html Here is a video of makeup products I am using now!
Once we wash our hands are they lint free cloths you would recommend so there is no tap water left on our fingers before we put our contacts in?
Yes, absolutely. Dry your hands super thoroughly to prevent any infections from the tap water (just watch my showering in contacts video for the worst case scenario!)
I wear hard contact lenses, I want to wear makeup but it’s just too much lol.. oils make my lenses dirty and I pay $175 a lens.
I totally understand that! It can be so expensive.
Mam please show your eyemakeup routine 🥺 please
Will work on this! Make sure you subscribe and click the bell to get notifications so you can see when I post it! Have a great week.
If I'm really diligent in myakeup removal, should I still avoid tightlining? (I really love lining my waterline 😓)
I still tightline and found it was a brand of liner that irritated my eyes when tightlining. The Sephora Retractable Eyeliners and the NYX Retractable Eyeliners don't irritate my eyes or cause dryness when tightlining.
I'll be honest, I still tightline on occasion, but I literally do like a 3 step eye makeup removal to make sure I remove it all.
So I have an issue. I take forever to get ready. 3-4 hours with skin prep/skincare, makeup, hair, and getting dressed. I wanna wear my contacts however once I’m all done getting ready, I’m pretty sure I have to take them out because you are only supposed to keep your lens in for 5 hours. I wanna wear lens safely for Halloween that’s coming up. Any thoughts? 😭😭

Here is a link to my video "Are Cosplay Contacts Safe | Eye Doctor Reviews"
Thank you for your comment! Please let me know if that answers your question.
I remove my lenses before removing my makeup. Can I then use oily makeup remover? Otherwise it will never wash off the waterproof mascara😅
It didn't help at all since most of the information was for soft lens contact users. It didn't include Hard Contact user information, which I wear.
I'm sorry, Yolanda. Thank you for your feedback. I will add makeup tips for hard contact wearers to my suggestions list.
Hi I got contacts and one of them seems to be more blurry and it's not going away. What should I do?
Hey Tessa,
You should definitely inform your doctor that prescribed the contacts. :)
@@DrRupaWong Ok I will do that. Thank you so much for responding!!
@@tessapham6774 Of course! Thank you for being a part of the community 🥰
I love my waterproof mascara 😭😭😭
It's OK - you don't have to give it up entirely. Only if you're having issues with dry eyes or difficulty tolerating your contacts.
@@DrRupaWong I don't have those problems at least not till now. Thanks for answering ❤
these are so obvious good lord
Thanks for the feedback, Marissa. Do you have any remaining questions you would like answered about contacts?
