    I've read about mascaras that are suitable for contact lens wearers in a couple of the Sunday papers lifestyle sections. Unfortunately none of the articles mentioned brands and when i talk to the assistants at the beauty counters they look at me like I've got two heads. The mascara's are supposed to be made without loose fibres so that they don't have little bits that flake off and irritate eyes under lenses. I find that when I use mascara with my lenses they end up with a film of dirt on them so would be interested in anything to reduce this.
    Thanks

    Personally I find Clinique's High Impact mascara great; as a contact lens wearer. It is meant for sensitve eyes and is waterproof and doesn't have cheap flaky bits falling off it like I am discovering my new MAC one does...

    Also find Benefits Bad Lashes (*sp?) great, no 'bits'...

    I have word glasses for 20 years, lens for the past two, have sensitive watery eyes and find those two great...

    I bought the following mascara (after it being recommended on here!!) and it is amazing. Its called blinc and is worth every penny.

    When its on, its on.

    The only way you can get it off is with water and rubbing. I usually take mine off in the shower.

    It takes about 2-3 minutes to dry, but once it is dry it stays on:

    and it has free delivery.

    I've used Blinc for few years now and love it! (recommended it here few times using my previous name) I can't recommend it enough! And as a contact lense wearer too I find it doesn't smudge or flake! It sticks like glue - in a good way! :p
    Painfree eyes!

    I got 2 more tubes in the post today - 1 black (I initially bought a tester on their site for e2 just to try it for a few weeks) and 1 dark blue (lovely on blue eyes).

    They come in lovely little tin-like tubes - really cool. V v v v v impressed.

    Maybe it was yourself whose post I read recommending it.
