  Well, of course yes, it is possible to have eye irritation if you use mascara. And generally speaking, when you have mascara, it can be dangerous for your eyes to be infected. The mascara is applied directly in your eyes, so it can carry some bacteria to your eyes. And then your eyes are infected by some irritants. And your eyes will have irritation. In that way, your eyes will be red, even bloodshot, and it is possible to have pink eyes. So you need to pay more attention to it.

  Yes, mascara can cause eye irritation. But it does not mean you can not use makeup with mascara any more, you just need to use it properly. The following situations can cause your irritation. First, if you wear it for a long time, and keep it while sleep. Second, if the mascara you use is poor in quality, then it can be very irritant to your eyes, you can get eye irrtitation. So, use it properly and use mascara with good quality!

  Yes, mascara will cause eye irritation because of the inner chemical materials which will stimulate your eyes skin. That does not mean that you should not use the makeup with mascara. You need to wash the eyes clearly before you go to bed. Or else, it will come into your eyes and cause the eyes irritation.
