Bacterial infections of the eye are indeed contagious!. I caught impetaigo (sp!?) from someone who used my eyedrops!.

Eye make up will probably not inflame the infection, but use it spariingly!. Never share eyeliner and mascara applicators with anyone!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes it's contagious and you really should wait until it clears up before you start using eye makeup again!. Please make sure you throw away your old makeup and get new one to avoid reinfection!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no its not contagious!. but i would try to stay away from make up it could irrate it or infect it more!.!. get a hot rag and place it over your eye throughout the day, it helps heal fasterWww@Answer-Health@Com

If it is pink eye, most definitely yes! You should make sure you clean your contacts thoroughly!. I don't think you should wear make-up, it may be bad for your eye!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
