I would lay off the make-up for a few days, because you don't want the infection to come back. Also, if you put eyeliner on your inner rims (between your eyelashes and your eye), you should seriously consider not doing that anymore because it can cause major irritation.

You have now contaminated your sharpener too! You must throw away all eye make-up and contacts if you want to rid yourself of the infection. This includes your contact lens case too.


★★★
You didn't mention what your doctor told you to do. If he said to lay off the makeup, and not wear your lenses for a few days or something, then DO that. Your health is more important than vanity. If it was bad enough to see a doctor, it was probably more serious than just itchy redness or something. Did he give you any kind of ointment or medicated drops to use? If so, you should not wear your contacts while using anything like that. Also, like starfish said, you should definitely not use eyeliner on the inner rim of your eye, whether you wear contacts or not. It can cause a lot of problems. And, it actually has the opposite effect from that which you're probably looking for by wearing eyeliner. It makes your eyes look smaller, not larger/more dramatic.

Dump all your eye makeup.

It is now likely to be contaminated and a *source* of infection.

Contacts should not be worn. Apart from the risk of of contaminating them, (and if disposable or planned replacement, the current ones should be dumped, along with the case, if you have a spare. Otherwise the lenses and case should be carefully cleaned an disinfected.) wearing contacts slows down the eye's healing rate due to the lower oygen supply, and increases the risk of futher infections.
Yes, including the really nasty but relatively rare fungal ones.

Your eye is nothing like normal after a day.
You are being wildly optimistic, and showing a preference for appearance over health.

Sadly you're not alone in that.
