To begin, wash your hands with soap and warm water. It's always a good idea to start by making sure your face is clean and your hands are clean and dry. To avoid getting fibres on your hands and fingers that might irritate your eyes, dry your hands with a paper towel rather than a tissue or towel. You may also want to wear your contact lenses before you apply your makeup to prevent any makeup from being ruined since your eyes may feel a little watery or drippy when you're wearing your contacts.Open the lens box for the first pair you want to use carefully, then remove one of the lenses from the solution it is in. The lens should be sitting on your index finger facing upwards, almost like it is cupped and shaped like a taco.Make sure your eyelashes are out of the way and gently lift your upper eyelid with the hand not holding the contact lens with, though you should avoid pulling on your eye and be careful while doing this. You might also try pulling down the lower lash line with several fingers to give yourself more room to put on your toric contact lenses.Once you've found a comfortable position and are holding your lash line out of the way, turn your head to the opposite side and place the lens on the white area of your eye. Blink a few times to help the lens find the proper position on your iris. After a few minutes, the lens will settle into its proper position and become comfortable for you. You should be careful not to bend your lenses and to handle them gently because doing so might cause your lens to tear.
