12 Common Beauty Questions, Answered

7. Is it safe to line the inner rims of your eyes?

Two things to keep in mind: A steady hand is essential so you don’t poke yourself in the eye. And you can contaminate your liner if you have a budding eye infection and don’t realize it. (Once you put the cap back on, the germs can grow and thrive.) But this doesn’t mean you can’t rock this slightly rocker look if you want to. Just always sharpen the pencil after lining your eyes. That way, you’ll put it back in the cap in pristine condition. If you have a full-blown eye infection, throw out the liner to avoid recontamination.
