No matter what I do or try, I always end up with unsightly spots where my glasses rest on my nose. I have used a variety of primers and powders, but without fail they are there after a few hours. Sometimes I forget to check and then I walk around with these streaks freezing my face, people always point it out and it’s so embarrassing. Please help with your tips, products and hacks 🙁
Have you tried eyeshadow primer? Or just powder under where the nose pads sit? That way there is minimal product to move around.

I do a light amount of foundation on my nose, a setting powder on my nose bridge, under eye, and around my nostrals/laugh lines, then a setting powder. Usually does a good job not creasing or spreading. Temperature may be a factor tho, I know its harder to maintain in the summer for example. So I usually keep a small bottle of setting spray in my bag for touch ups. Depending on how your glasses sit, you may not need foundation where your glasses are at all.
I use a mattifying primer (e.g. Fenty pro filt’r), then a mattifying foundation (e.g. Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless), then setting powder (e.g Rimmel Stay Matte), then Mattifying Setting spray (e.g. Urban Decay De-Slick), then another layer of powder. All the layers should be very thin, basically it creates a thin flexible crust of product between your glasses and your face which your skin oils cat get through.
It’s also worth cleaning the bits of your glasses that touch your skin before you put them on so that no skin oil from last time you wore them is still there – I use barsoap, dish soap, toner or rubbing alcohol for this to get them really squeaky clean.
