VI women, how do you apply makeup? (self.Blind)
submitted by WEugeneSmith
I have some sight (20/400 in my only seeing eye), and I've given up on wearing makeup except lipstick. Applying foundation and and concealer is daunting because I can't quite tellif I am blending it proprly.
Now, this is not necessarily a good thing. I am 66, and could definitely benefit from some cosmetic help. Of course, with my Claude Monet vision,everyone else looks beautiful!
I have a job interview on Monday on Microsoft Teams Meetings which will include video. I would like to look well-put together, and this includes makeup.

I wear a tinted moisturizer and eyeliner. I dab concealer on and pat it until the color disappears. I use a 5x lighted magnifying mirror to do this.

Would a magnifying mirror help?

Not blind but VI. I use a powder foundation and a brush to sweep over and even everything out. Concealer just doesn't happen. If I want eyeshadow I use an eyeshadow wand/roll-on eyeshadow like the Laura Mercier caviar stick and even out with a finger once I've got my glasses back on and can look in a mirror. Mascara is risky as I can't spot blobs very easily. For blush I use a powder and just aim for cheeks to add a little bit of colour but don't go for any contouring or anything as I would mess it up badly.

I don't, save for lip gloss since it's the easiest.

If you can save up I would suggest a class. With CN vision image consultant. I took makeup classes with her and enjoyed it greatly

I usually do a cream foundation after primer, lip product, and mascara. I use a 12x mirror or my cellphone camera.
