Hi everyone, first time posting here, I am really clairvoyant (+8), and I have a really hard time applying eye makeup because I can’t see, I’m scared of getting stuck in them eyes and I make a royal mess when you try to apply eyeliner and eye shadow. I was never able to do it properly, I usually land somewhere within half an inch of my lash line because I really can’t see. Any tips or advice you have for applying makeup to people who can’t see would be great, thank you very much 🙂
I would stick to single or simple two shadow looks and use your finger. I’ll sometimes have to do my eye makeup in the dark or very dim light. When I do, I stick to transition colors close to my skintone (only slightly darker) applied to the crease and out edge with a fluffy brush. I do this mostly by feel. I then apply a shimmery topper shade on the eyeball, using my finger to feel where the shadow should go.
You could also alternate between taking glasses off, applying color. Assess with glasses on. Repeat for each step of an eyelook. I would avoid eyeliner.
