1. Using your fingers

用手指

This is the easiest way to apply a quick tint¹, but it also happens to be the dirtiest. Bacteria can cause irritated, puffy eyelids³.

用这种方法涂色最容易，但也最脏。细菌会使眼皮发炎红肿。

2. Keeping old mascara

用旧的睫毛膏

Mascara dries out within six months of its first use. Dry mascara can flake⁴ into the eye and cause an infection.

睫毛膏第一次使用之后六个月就会干掉。干的睫毛膏会脱落掉进眼睛里引起感染。

3. Never cleaning the vanity area up

从不清理梳妆台

It’s important to replace makeup⁵ after each use to lessen⁶ its exposure to airborne bacteria.

每次使用化妆品之后放回原处很重要，这样可以减少化妆品暴露在空气中细菌下的时间。

4. Storing makeup in direct sunlight

化妆品存放在阳光直射的条件下

Whether it’s in direct sunlight or a hot car, all that heat breaks down the preservatives⁸ that are meant to keep bacteria at bay. This fosters bacteria growth in products.

无论是阳光直射还是在热的车里，热量会分解阻碍细菌的保护层，使细菌在化妆品里繁殖。

5. Using makeup on the wrong feature

化妆品用错部位

The germs that live on your lips are different than those native to your eyes. So don’t go testing your fave lip on your lids.

嘴唇上和眼睛上的细菌不同，所以不要在眼皮上试用最爱的口红。

6. Slathering on the eyeliner

大量使用眼线笔

The liner glides⁹ on easily and evenly as you near, or even cover, the eyelid² margin¹⁰. But the closer you get, the more it clogs¹¹ up important glands¹².

接近或直接画在眼睑边缘上很容易上色且颜色均匀。但越接近，越容易堵塞重要腺体。

7. Ignoring signs of eye infections

忽视眼睛感染的迹象

This can only lead to worse consequences down the road. It’s best to toss all products you used while infected.

这样下去只会让情况越来越糟，眼睛感染时最好停用所有化妆品。

8. Overusing mascara

睫毛膏涂太多

Waterproof¹³ varieties often contain parabens, a preservative⁷ many people find irritates their eyes.

防水产品通常含尼泊金，很对人发现这种保护层会引起眼部不适。

9. Not taking the time to clean brushes

不花时间清洗刷子

All use and no cleaning makes brushes traps for bacteria. Bacteria can enter through a blemish¹⁴ or scratch.

只用不洗会使刷子变成细菌的温床。细菌会进入伤口或擦伤处。

10. Sharing with friends

和朋友共用

Grabbing a friend’s product because you absolutely adore the color is a bad decision. Sharing can lead to conjunctivitis.

因为喜欢朋友眼妆的颜色就借用很不明智，共用会引发结膜炎。

11. Forgetting about contacts

忘戴隐形眼镜

Makeup can get trapped under the lenses and cause irritation¹⁵.

化妆品会残留在隐形眼镜下面，造成不适。

12. Glamming up on the go

边忙边化妆

This is a big no-no. You risk poking¹⁶ yourself in the eye.

这个坚决不行，你容易戳到眼睛。

13. Using an old makeup bag

使用旧的化妆包

Dirty storage is counterproductive to the good practice of cleaning brushes and applicators regularly.

脏脏的化妆包会使经常清洗刷子和化妆用品的好习惯都功亏一篑。
