Distorted MRI-retest

Can eye makeup(eyeliner) interfere with an MRI of the eyes and brain such to render results unreadable, or can eye makeup affect an MRI of the eyes and brain at all?

Some eye makeup (typically eye shadow) has a lead base and can alter the magnetic field of an MRI. This degrades the images and can make it difficult for your radiologist to evaluate the eyes.
