If you can't get it to stay on your eye, drop some solution on your finger so it doesn't stick as much! Also, don't let it hit your waterline or eyelash!

I only had my contacts for a month. I lost a pair and a half out of three so I just went back to glasses. I liked contacts. And the blue outline around your eye. I thought that looked cool when I had mine

Emma, no it doesn't hurt, it just won't go in. And it depends on the makeup...if you mean like, powder or eyeliner. It feels just like getting something in your eye.

Does it hurt if you hit the waterline? And what if makeup falls in my eye at school with my contacts in!?

Cool ! I've always been scared of contacts. Maybe I'm brave enough to try them out after your guide :)

Try looking "behind" your finger (and not at it) while you are putting the contacts in your eyes. It took me a while to get used to it but it really is just a matter of practice. Hope this helps ;)

I have tried everything, but just can't seem to get contacts in my eyes. I still haven't got them yet because the doctor won't let me leave with them until he knows I can put them in my eyes myself..
