Mascara for Contact Lens Wearers
I've never worn mascara on a daily basis, but was able to wear regular brands fine when using it occasionally. Recently though, I've found that when I do wear it on occasion, it never fails to get onto one or both of my contact lens and then I end up having to throw the lens away because I can't get it off. Please let me know if there is a mascara that you love and can wear comfortably without ruining your contact lens! Thank you.

Hiya! Fellow contact lens wearer here. You need TUBING MASCARA! It's great, it creates little plastic tubes around your eyelashes and comes off easily by rubbing them with water at night. I use Blinc's tubing mascara, https://www.blincinc.com/products/mascara, you can easily get it on Amazon, Sephora, etc. There are others as well.
I have used only these two for many years now, and I wear my contacts about 12 hours a day. I think the secret is using waterproof mascara and to take your time applying it! Hope this helps!
Tarte- Lights, Camera, Splashes Waterproof mascara

Try a tubing mascara. They don’t budge. Thrive Causmetics makes one as does Trish McEvoy and Blinc. I think there are others as well. You remove with warm water (water has to be warm).
I love Glossier's mascara! You should try that one and see if it works for you!
