Why Little White Bumps Are Reappearing Between Eyelash And Eyes After Wearing Make Up?

I keep getting these little white bumps between my eyelash and my left eye. I never get them on the right eye, either. I go a few weeks without wearing make-up to make sure everything is cleaned out in my eye when I get them but as soon as I put on any type of eye make-up, they reappear (usually 2 and then sometimes it'll be five bumps.) I've replaced my eyeliner, mascara, and etc multiple times but the bumps still come back. I don't think they're styes because my eye doesn't itch, burn, or get watery so I'm wondering am I doing something wrong with my left eye?d

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having white bumps between eyelash and eyes after wearing make up.
This indicates blepharitis. This can be because of infection or allergy. The treatment is by lid scrubs and using antibiotic or antiallergic ointment depending on the cause for blepharitis.
It is better to stop using the eyeliner or mascara as these are known to exaggerate the infection or inflammation.

Thank you
