How can I make swelling and itching go down on my swolen eye?

Yesterday I had a mascara mishap, a bad one, not to mention.. I also found out what was making my eyelids itchy (my eye cream).. So a combination like that lead to this, I woke up with my left eye red, slightly.. but surely.. swolen, and my right eye is just red and itchy. The left is the one I had mascara issues with, I am pretty sure I know why it's like this.. I got mascara everywhere and i kept rubbing it and rubbing it and throughout the day too, because it itched.. Bottom line: What can I do to bring the swelling down, stop the itching, and calm the redness..? I was thinking aspirin and ice? But it's on my eye, so I wasn't sure if I should take different measures.. It's on the area of and around both eyelids (top and bottom). Thanks in advanced!

1. To make the swelling go down, make a nice hot rag. After that, hold it on your eye for 5 minutes. Try to do this every 1-2 hours. Ice might help, so after about 15 minutes after you put the rag on, hold a bag of ice on your eye for 5 minutes. Hope this helps! I hope you feel better soon. :)
