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?

    I’m not blind, but if I drop my glasses on the floor, I have to Velma around until I find them. (Or sometimes if I really can’t find them I use my phone camera to zoom in on my floor. 😅)

    For makeup, I take my glasses off and put a magnifying stand mirror directly in front of my face. Like take it to the table/my desk and sit down with it. Then I put my face as close to the mirror as I need to. Which sadly, is pretty damn close. I’m thinking of getting contacts again to avoid the situation… But then comes the horror of accidentally getting product on the contact, which isn’t fun.

    Ugh. Wish I’d have just gotten LASIK when I had the chance.
