So my model here, Mercedes, she does wear contacts. And she put on her contacts before I applied eye makeup. And the way I applied the eye makeup is very gently, so that it does not hurt her, or it does not move her contacts around. So I am just applying the eye shadow very gently on her lid. You do not want to press too hard, because it might hurt your eye. To apply eyeliner, to give it a more defined look, you want to get something that is waterproof.
