The other possibility is that you're using mascara that's old. The older the eye makeup, the more likely it is to have picked up some crud/contaminants/bacteria. You might be risking an infection. Generally, you should not keep cosmetics that touch your eyes for more than a year (and some would say 6 months, though others go much longer without problems). Also, it's not ideal to share with others in case they (or you!) have any sort of infection that could be transmitted that way.
So if you're working from the same mascara for ages on end, try getting a new one and see if that helps.
