In fact, celebrities like Avril Lavigne, Heather Morris, Nick Rhodes, John Green, and many more went crazy on social media about this “magical makeup wand”.

So, trust me when I say this, from celebrities to school kids, Eyeliner is probably the most “Talked about” topic of the “beauty town”. 

And in fact, why people won’t talk about Eyeliner. It makes the eyes brighter, helps create a dramatic smokey appearance, and is essential to a more seductive eye makeup look if you apply eyeliner the right way.

However, when it comes to removing this magical makeup, it is a pain at times. Especially if you don’t know how to remove eyeliner properly from the eyes, various eye infections can occur. I have seen my bestie suffering from an eye infection just because she was careless with the removal process.

In this article, I will share some cool tips & tricks and various methods you can use to remove Eyeliner properly. So, Let’s jump right in and not waste any time.

IS EYELINER BAD FOR YOUR SKIN?

Eyeliner is not bad for your skin if you use it correctly. You must apply eyeliner at a minimum distance from the eyes so that the particles of eyeliner can not get into the eyes because these particles can cause harm to the eyes.

It would be best if you didn’t put eyeliner on your waterline because it can block the meibomian glands, which release an oily substance that helps make the tear film. This may lead to a dry, itchy sensation in the eyes. According to the eye care resource ALLAboutVision, Meibomian gland dysfunction is among the most prevalent vision issues.

Optometrist Dr. Brittani recently made a TikTok video in which she talks about how one of her patients had trouble because she used eyeliner every day on the waterline. That patient’s waterline ended up secreting a toothpaste-like substance where it should produce an olive oil-like substance, which caused her very bad infection. So eyeliner can be very harmful if it is not used correctly.

DOES EYELINER STAIN YOUR SKIN?

Usually, the eyeliner doesn’t stain your skin that much, but it may create a thin line black stain above your lash line, which doesn’t look good and isn’t good for your eyes. Most of the time, liquid eyeliner creates this kind of stain. 

Some eyeliners may have an element that can stain the skin. Therefore, you should always thoroughly check the ingredient list before buying eyeliner. But the most important thing to avoid this kind of stain is to remove eyeliner properly.
