This is how you prevent makeup on your(sunglasses) and marks on your nose

The sunglasses can come out of the closet again, because the spring-like sunny season starts in a few days. Okay, fine. Of course, you can wear sunglasses all year round, even when it rains (I see it enough in the city). After all, that's also a kind of vibe. But if you wear makeup and sunglasses – or regular glasses of course – then we all know it: those marks on your nose and makeup on your frame.

If you wear a somewhat subtler model, it usually stays at a bit of makeup on the inside of your sunglasses, around the nose pads. But with a larger frame, you often see that there is a kind of imprint of your foundation or concealer on your glasses, sometimes even on the lenses. Yes, I speak from experience, because as a glasses wearer (strength +3.5 and cylinder) I encounter this problem almost every day.

The simple beauty hack that solves this problem

But from now on, that's (hallelujah) a thing of the past. Because makeup artist Rose Siard shares the simplest tip ever. Setting powder can always be a good idea, but this works even better.

The trick is actually surprisingly simple: eyeshadow primer. Yes, really. So if you apply a little bit of primer to the spot where your glasses rest on your nose. So exactly where the imprints usually appear. The logic behind it is actually very clever. Eyeshadow primer is specially made to keep makeup in place on the area that moves continuously, your eyelids. This prevents eyeshadow, concealer, or other makeup you apply there from creasing into lines. And that is exactly what happens on your nose as well. By talking, laughing, and constantly putting on and taking off your glasses, that piece of skin is constantly in motion. Apply a thin layer of eyeshadow primer with your fingers on the sides of your nose, exactly where your glasses sit, before applying your foundation. This gives your makeup much more grip. The result: less makeup on your frame AND fewer visible imprints on your nose when you take off your glasses or sunglasses.

No primer at home? This works too

Do you not have eyeshadow primer at home? Then a little bit of setting powder can also help. Use a brush to apply some powder to the spot where your glasses rest to combat excess oil and to fix your makeup a bit better. This doesn't always work as well, because sometimes you need to apply a new layer of powder at the end of the day. An eyeshadow primer really works just a bit better, because it is specially made to keep makeup in place on moving skin. An eyeshadow primer therefore does not only belong on your eyelids, but apparently also on your nose.
