I just wear a little foundation to hide the sty, and some eyeliner. But I don't cover it in eyeliner, so ya...
Will this make a sty worse??

Don't wear any eye makeup for a few days.....
Meanwhile, use hot compresses on the eye. It will relieve the pain and help the sty go away faster.

I believe it can, since the eye is already infected and makeup getting in the eye can make it take a for the worse. Also, you can give yourself a sty all over again by using the same makeup and applicators that you did while having the sty. I really feel for you, I went through a period where I got them all the time. It was awful, but whenever I wore makeup they took a turn for the worse. Here's a little something that was a little bit of a hassle, but helped get rid of it quickly, especially when I did it early on: Heat about half a cup of water in the microwave the way you would if making tea or coffee. Dip a MILD tea bag (like green tea, nothing with spices in it) in the water and lay gently on your eye, pressing if you can stand the heat. If the water is way too hot, dip the tea bag and let it sit for a few seconds before using it, but for the best results you want it as hot as you can stand. This will be messy, so have some paper towels on hand. When the tea bag becomes cool, dip in the water and repeat for 10-15 mins. The swelling will go down instantly and you should be sty free within the next couple of days!

I would think it could as you sweat during the day and such I would leave it open to air and not cover it. If you want to get rid of the sty,make a hot to warm compress out of a teabag. It works quickly(just do it every few hours). I learned this trick from a doctor I used to work for!

Yes, it makes the sty worse, and you're probably reinfecting it every time you use that same makeup--it's got bacteria in it that it picked up from your sty!
Kill the eye makeup until the sty heals, and then buy all new.

A stye is an infection caused by the staphylococcus bacteria that blocks an oil gland . I don't think I would be using any eyeliner on my eyes that could possibly come in contact with an infection. Using makeup will only cause the infection to become worse.

It could irritate it. Not to mention infecting your makeup so you could spread sty to your other eye. Best just use over the counter sty medication until it clears.

I'd have to go with pink eye, definitely. It's just because I don't know what in the world a sty is!

yes!
reusing your eyemake up will only make the sty worse and come back again. through away your eyeliner and buy some new and dont use it uuntil the sty is gone or it will just come back again. also if it itches dont rub it that will also make it worse. and dont share your eyemake up they are contagious. hope your eye gets better!

Styes are like pimples around the eye. Use warm compresses and wash your eyes with baby shampoo for a few days and try to keep the area clean. The oils your skin produces along with bacteria and makeup are what creates them in the first place.

I would keep the area clean and avoid make-up. If the infected area gets worst I would go see a doctor.
