Since you will apply them in the vicinity of your eyes you have to be extra careful and vigilant. Keeping your eyes protected is a good motivator to continue practicing your eyeliner technique.

What use is there if you have the means to decorate your eyes, but they end up itchy, irritated or infected?  Eye makeup could be the very vessel where bacteria and other microorganisms grow. It is possible to bring to your eyes harmful germs when applying eye makeup.

Similarly, sensitive eyes could react if bits of powder of cream from your eye shadow set ends up on the eye surface.

If you are allergic to various compounds, read the label very carefully. You can always ask an allergy specialist for guidance.
