I have a horrible sight. Like, I can’t see 3 inches from my face. I would love to learn how to wear makeup properly and even do cooler stuff, but I can’t even see my face in the mirror without my glasses on, and I can’t afford contact lenses. How do people deal with this?
Have you tried a magnifying mirror? Also they make makeup glasses where you put one lens in at a time. I tend to just stand really, really close to a full length mirror I’ve got on a wall.
Palettes with mirrors are my friend, as is my lighted desk mirror that I can hold up to my face. It’s the basic Conair model from Target. The nearsighted struggle is REAL.

There are glasses sold with just one lense that can be flipped between each eye for this specific situation. That way you can still see with one eye while you put makeup on the other. Like [this](https://cdn.trendhunterstatic.com/phpthumbnails/215/215819/215819_1_600.jpeg) pair.
The look goofy as hell but it seems like they would get the job done
Squint your eyes until you can barely see anything and apply it that way 😂
alternatively, keep two magnifying mirrors really close at opposite angles, so you can see well from the left and right side
