Wearing eye makeup does not harm your eyes if it is removed properly every day and you are not allergic to any of the products. However, if makeup is not cleaned well or if you are allergic, it can cause allergic reactions, eye irritation, and dryness over time.

Leaving products like kajal or eyeliner on overnight can allow chemicals to be absorbed by the skin and eyes, increasing the risk of irritation or infection. To protect your eyes, always use a gentle eye makeup remover, clean your eyes thoroughly before sleeping, and never sleep with contact lenses on.

If you notice an allergy to a particular product, it’s best to avoid using it. Regular hygiene is key to preventing long-term eye problems.
