At AesthetiSpa Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center, board-certified physician Dr. Christy L. Cone and her team want to help you feel confident with both your natural look and your makeup routine. Here are some practical tips to safely enhance your eye area while using Upneeq.
1. Wait Before Applying Makeup
Always wait at least 15 minutes after using Upneeq before applying any eye makeup. This gives the drops time to take effect and prevents accidental smudging or interference with the medication.
2. Opt for Hypoallergenic Products
Choose eyeshadow and other eye makeup products that are labeled as hypoallergenic and ophthalmologist-tested. Sensitive formulas reduce the risk of irritation, which is especially important when using Upneeq.
3. Be Gentle with Eyeliner
Avoid applying eyeliner directly on the waterline – the narrow strip of skin on the inside edge of the eyelids – or too close to the lash line where the Upneeq drops may spread. Instead, stick to using eyeliner just above the lash line.
4. Focus on Mascara and Lashes
Upneeq users should go easy on the eyeliner and choose their eyeshadows carefully. That doesn’t mean you have to swear off dramatic looks, though.
Mascara can significantly amplify the lifted effect created by Upneeq. Gently curl your lashes before applying mascara, and consider using a lengthening formula for more noticeable, eye-opening results.
5. Remove Makeup Carefully
The way you remove your makeup is just as important as how you put it on.
Use a gentle, oil-free makeup remover to clean your eye area at the end of the day, and don’t rub or tug on the eyelids. This preserves the benefits of Upneeq and supports healthy skin around your eyes.
