Does long term use and exposure to eye shadow and similar chemicals lead to skin abrasion and skin disease?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33158points) May 26th, 2015

Many women spend significant amounts of time applying eye shadow and similar cosmetic substances to call attention to their eyes and presumably to look beautiful.

And then before sleeping, I have observed, they spend (less but still significant) time washing that eye shadow off.

Does long term, repeated exposure to all of those eye-enhancement chemicals cause any damage to the skin? Is skin-disease or scan cancer a risk?
