Hi! I just recently started doing makeup and I’m absolutely obsessed !!! Problem is, I’m wearing glasses, so within 5 minutes the makeup on the sides of my nose wore off making my whole face look stupid and ruining my job. Is there a magic product that I can use to keep the makeup on? (Contacts are not an option because eyeballs disgust me and I don’t want to touch mine)
You can also get silicone grips that go on the earpieces of your glasses to hold them a little bit more tightly to your face, and at least that solves the problem of them slipping up and down the nose and rubbing.

glasses wearer here! a few people have said to use an eye primer where your nose pads sit before going over them with your foundation. i used to use an eye primer over my powdered down foundation but i find that this only works with certain eye primers. i also sometimes heavily pack powder onto my nose and this doesn’t fully prevent it, just prevents the inevitable a little while longer. also when i’ve been walking out in 28-30°C weather and it starts looking too rough (as in my foundation has fully and properly rubbed off the sides and top of my nose completely) i would touch up those parts by just going over those spots with some concealer, heaps more powder (i use the morphe r13 brush) and fully pack it on, then hit it with some more setting spray. good luck! <3
I’m a contact wearer but I hated how my sunglasses would smudge my nose so I started doing the powder-setting spray-primer technique where you apply the products in that order and I find that my concealer on my nose doesn’t smudge anymore.
Also I’ve been wearing contacts for 10 years now and when I was 14 I had trouble touching my eyeballs but eventually you get used to it and it doesn’t phase you anymore.
