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?

    Glasses wearer here who is also new to makeup. I stand really close to the mirror, then step back, go close again, etc. I switch between hand held and bathroom mirrors. Magnifying mirrors sound great but irl are just confusing / distorting.

    Sometimes I take a selfie. A good tip I heard is to buy travel-sized brushes. I prefer things I can blend with my fingers like eyeshadow sticks.

    P.s. not sure if blind people will be on Reddit.
