Eye make-up and /or Contact lenses

If you wear either, do you do both eyes with your dominant hand or your left eye with your left hand and right with right?

Both eyes dominant hand, but different places on my finger for each lens to aid in insertion.

I guess I shoulda done a poll rather than making people post. I do each eye with each hand. for both. But I'm getting the feeling I'm odd. again.

Yes, you are! I'm just kidding. I use my right hand for both jobs. As for the tip of the mascara, after I put it on with my right hand, I use my left hand to stroke the tip to the inside of the eye side. However, I hardly wear mascara. Not sure why but I get raccoon eyes extremely easy, even with waterproof mascara! I usually just curl my lashes and set it with the brow set. If I feel like being more made-up, I would draw a thin line on the lash.

As a funny story to how dunce I am about putting on make-up, yesterday I decided I looked too pale so I put on some blush. At the shopping center later in the day, I was pulled into this beauty boutique. The lady was blah blah blahing on about skin care and what's good for my skin and stuff. Then she showed the powder cream that I should use to cover my age spots. She put it on my left cheek. I told her I have the blemish balm(one of the products she was trying to sell) on. She said, "But your right cheek is a little red, see how the left cheek is covered nicely?" I looked into the mirror. Rather than being embarrassed, I laughed out loud and told her that's because I put on blush. My cheek looked flushed rather than having that nice glow a woman hopes to achieve with blush. I think my sister was embarrassed for me. So, I told the saleswoman to put some of her powder on my right cheek so my face would look even.

As to what Shawnee said about how many men say they prefer women without make-up. That's a lie, and I think men don't realize they're lying. Because what men like is that women looks like they're not wearing make-up. They like women looking nice but appears like they're not wearing make-up. As what Shawnee said, the "natural look."

.... if you do put mascara on both eyes with the same hand, how do you avoid the nose stripe? Or do you just wipe it off before it dries? i think that's why i started doing such things the way i do....

I do left eye/left hand and right eye/right hand for mascara for that very reason. Its just too awkward otherwise. I cant recall if I do the same with eye shadow though. Prolly. So I don't think your odd. However, I use the same hand to put in eye drops.

I do each eye with corresponding hand for both contacts and makeup. I wasn't 100% sure about the makeup, so I had to go look in the mirror and pretend to put on eyeliner. Heh.

My contacts go in both eyes with the same hand. I don't do eye makeup myself, but it seems to me the best way to avoid the nose-stripe from the mascara wand would be to rotate your hand around to the other side of your face, so your palm is facing in.

Both eyes right hand for contacts. Mascara too. But I don't wear makeup very often. My nose doesn't really get in the way. Wish I had a reason to wear make up more than once a month or so. Damn my life is boring.

ya know, I was wearing makeup maybe twice a year. towards the end of last year I put it on a couple of times "just because'. Stops people in their tracks. I suggest you put some on for fun/no reason at all. Might help with the blues, albeit temporarily.

I don't wear makeup much anymore, but I'm pretty sure I couldn't use my left hand to do my left eye.

I agree about wearing makeup though. I just can't be bothered most of the time, but when I do wear it I think people notice. It brings out my eyeballs, which are my best feature (best of mediocre is still best.) One day I came to work with my hair done nicely, makeup on, and my black suit. A lady in another office said "I didn't recognize you, you look so nice."

I rarely wear make-up. When I do, I apply with my right hand to both eyes. I am pretty flexible, so I can quite happily twist my hand around to do the left eye, and I don;t recall ever getting a nose stripe :P

That's exactly what they say to me. Do people not realize what that implies?
