First, avoid using any product on the inside of the lash line, as well as shadows with lots of dust or glitter that will fall into the eyes during application—opt instead for a pressed powder or long wear crème shadows.

She says, “If your eyes do get slightly irritated while doing your makeup, blink gently and look in different directions so that the particle moves towards the tear duct and out of your eye. A little bit of saline solution can help. But too much can cause more makeup to fall into the eye.”
