I’ve wanted to mess around with makeup for awhile and have a few basics my sister helped me get the right shades for. But I’m quite nervous about doing eye makeup, since I’d need to take off my glasses to do that and I’m pretty much useless without them.

Blind/visually impaired makeup users. How do you apply your own? And any tips for those wanting to learn?

    Hi,

    I’m low vision, well, low enough, nearly a -10 in both eyes with astigmatism in both. My contacts don’t allow me to see close enough to deal with my eyebrows, my glasses obviously hinder, and to get close enough without contacts to see my eyebrows there’s not enough room to get tweezers in there (LOL).

    I apply my makeup with my contact lenses in… and then remove the contacts and clean them thoroughly to get rid of fallout etc… and then put them back in… and touch things up that got smudged. Mascara is after this.
