Should you insert your lenses before or after applying makeup?
If you have a very strong prescription, and simply can't focus without corrective help, you don't have much choice - you'll have to apply your makeup with the lenses in. If, however, your vision problem is less severe, it's far preferable to apply makeup FIRST and then insert your lenses. This way, any tiny flakes, powder granules or other fallout from your makeup can be dealt with before they fall into your eyes. If you apply your makeup with the lenses already in, you risk having to remove them again, clear your lens of the irritating object, flush your eye with water, and start again. You do not have to worry about flaking when it comes to Kiss Me mascara since it does not.
What kinds of makeup are best for contact lens wearers?
Certain types of waterproof/water-resistant eyeliners and mascaras are good, safe options for contact lens wearers. Your eyes may water after you insert your lenses, and you don't want to undo all the good makeup work you've just done. If your eyes dry out during the course of the day or evening, you may need to use a wetting eye drop product to make the lenses more comfortable to wear. Waterproof eye makeup is the only kind which will stand up to so much liquid in and around the eye. Some mascaras can build up the thickness and length of your lashes with silicone and fibers. Save these products for the times when you are not wearing your lenses. If one of these lash-building particles falls into your eyes, you will need to get to a bathroom fast, so that you can get the lens out of your eye and put an end to the severe pain.

What mascara color is best for me?
A black-brown or dark brown shade flatters most. Black looks best only on deepest brunettes. Navy Blue looks great on dark lashes. Light lashes should use black-brown or brown first, then finish with a coat of navy.
What makes my eyes so sensitive to mascara?
a- Running: If a mascara runs when exposed to moisture its dies and chemicals can enter the eye and cause irritation. Kiss Me mascara's unique formulation forms a tube around each lash, which prevents it from running.
b- Penetrating: Because conventional mascaras are essentially oil-based paints, and since oil penetrates the skin, most mascaras can bring their impurities to the root of the lash. A build up of these impurities or leaving these mascaras on for too long can trigger irritation or even infection. Also, many mascaras may gradually damage or even destroy contact lenses. The impurities and the oil components may create a film over, or stain, the lens and if not thoroughly cleaned may eventually ruin the lens. Kiss Me mascara coats each lash rather than painting it and it comes off without leaving any harmful tint or residue.
c- Excessive rubbing for removal: If your mascara leaves a tint that requires a lot of rubbing to completely remove, you can irritate the skin around the eye. Remember that the skin around the eye is much more delicate than that of the rest of the face. Kiss Me mascara is removed by very simply washing your face and applying gentle fingertip pressure to the lashes to remove the tubes that were formed.
d- Harsh eye make-up removers: Some make-up removers can irritate the eyes especially after repeated use. This is why it is recommended that women who wear mascara regularly use one that doesn't require a make-up remover. Kiss Me mascara provides the hold of a high performance water-resistant mascara yet only requires water and gentle pressure to come off.
Kiss Me mascara's formulation allows it not to run yet still avoid the use of an eye make-up remover. For these reasons, it is a great solution to conventional mascaras for women with sensitive eyes or contact lens wearers. However, as with all cosmetic products, the user must monitor her body's reaction and discontinue using a given product should any irritation occur.

Applying eyeliner to the inner side of your lashes...
Many people put eyeliner in the inner side of their lashes. We do not agree with this practice. Although it does create a nice look, bacteria loves the area and you could find yourself with an infection very quickly.
How do lashes grow, and how long does it take?
Contrary to what many people think, eyelashes grow in two or three irregular rows, not a straight line. The fullest growth occurs at the center of the lid. A lash reaches its full length in about ten weeks, and each one lives from three to five months. Like the hairs on your head, there is nothing you can do directly to stimulate growth. The best you can do is enhance what you have.
Why should I curl my lashes?
When the lashes are straight, they tend to curtain the eyes and make them look smaller. When they are swept upward, more of the iris is revealed and your eyes seem larger and more brilliant. Achieving this wide-eyed effect takes exactly thirty seconds. Grip the hairs gently with your eyelash curler, count up to thirty, and release. For a more pronounced curl, release the grip and move to a new position two or three times. Curling is also a good idea for eyeglass wearers, it keeps the lashes from brushing against your lenses.
