Are you putting eyeliner and tracing your eyes? Or eyeshadow? I would think that that type of concentration and eye strain is typical of convergence.
If you use a mirror that magnifies it may help reduce your eye strain. I just use a tinted moisturizer these days but even then, I get a bit double vision just looking at my eyes. I have convergence and accommodation issues.
You should have your eyes looked at by a behavioral or neuro-opthalmologist. It is about your eyes working together to converge on a close point and then at a distant point.
Accommodation insufficiency. Convergence Dysfunction. Binocular Vision. These are all keywords to describe the type of headaches and eyestrain from computer work or reading--or makeup application!
I know-we still want to look our best - even when our brain doesn't behave!
