Makeup for the eye area is used by many women around the world. Mascara, eyeliner, eyeliner and eye shadow are some of the cosmetics used. The objective of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of women in Campos dos Goytacazes (Brazil) about possible adverse effects of eye makeup, and whether they know and / or have already reported to the Health Surveillance Notification System (NOTIVISA) in case of such effects. An online form was sent via social media such as Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. A group of 196 women were interviewed, among them 159 residing in the city of Campos dos Goytacazes (Brazil). The survey revealed that 66.7% of the women interviewed are unaware of the adverse effects that can be caused by eye makeup, 79.9% do not know the NOTIVISA system, and 95.0% have never used it. The study suggests the development of ways of disseminating the NOTIVISA system, as well as awareness campaigns on the use of these cosmetic products, mainly because they are considered harmless to health.
