Mascara for contact lens wearers

[Moodymmai1]

Can anyone recommend a good one?
I used to use one from Clinique but they discontinued it.

I use Max Factor Clump Defy - it has a silicone brush and doesn't leave a huge amount on your lashes so I find it works best with my contacts. You may have to buy a few and try them out though, I was given a Chanel one which was £££££ and absolutely didn't get on with it whereas I wear the Max Factor one almost every day, never had any problems.

I use no7 extreme length sensitive and don't have any problems

I've never had a problem with any mascara and contacts - what's the issue?

I really like Lancôme Hypnose.

I've worn contacts for years and have worn many mascara brands no with problems. Just find one that suits your eyelashes or do like I do and go for whatever is in special offer at Boots :)

I’ve worn contacts since I was 13, I’m now 39 and never had an issue wearing whatever mascara I pick up.

Umm i never had to use anything special... am i missing a trick?!

Another one who's never had a problem with any mascara I've ever tried, and been wearing lenses for years.

Thinking about this, is it a problem if you put your lenses in after you've put make-up on? I've never done that as I can't see to put the make-up on without them but not everyone is as short-sighted as me.

I'm confused. Are you putting your lenses in after you've done your makeup? If not then what difference does it make, your lashes dont touch your lenses

I know if you get a bit of mascara in your eye throughout the day, with lenses it will irritate your eye a lot. So it's better to not have waterproof mascara.

Tubing mascara works best for me

I found (albeit cheap) tubing mascaras a nightmare with contacts as the bits fall in and irritate.

I actually prefer waterproof so it doesnt smudge into the eye or really smudge proof formulas. Diorshow overcurl, la roche posay volumising, and Ilia (very subtle, natural type mascara) work best for me.

Eyeko lash alert works well. It's a tubing mascara so doesn't flake so won't irritate.

Clinique Chubby Lash works well for me!

Max factor masterpiece.

Rimmel Waterproof, never had any problems. I’ve used it for years, since it’s available in our nearest supermarket.
I’ve worn it for running in the rain many many times.

Thanks everyone. Your comments are really helpful. I have hard gas permeable lenses and some mascaras seem to smudge onto my lenses. I'll try some of the ones you mentioned

@Moodymmai1

Have you tried any yet? I also have gas permeables and am looking for a mascara.

I've tried one from Clinique but I'm not too sure about it
