Makeup for Glasses

In my school I am taking Metal Fabrication, where I have to wear safety glasses. Even though people say I shouldn't, I wear makeup during this class because I just like wearing it each day.

But anyway, I have noticed foundation sticks to the glasses wherever it touches my face, such as under my eyes and on the sides of my nose. Does anybody know any way for this to not happen (such as techniques, products, etc.)?

Mechanical engineer here! hahaha I know the struggle of wearing safety glasses. There's nothing wrong wearing make-up at the workshop, just make sure to have your hair in a ponytail or bun.

Make-up transferring to the glasses is something that will happen almost every time. The best technique to avoid it (reduce it), in my experience, is wearing a primer that helps foundation adhere better, then use a thin layer of foundation, set with powder and finish with some setting spray.

Yeah I agree with @Lara R the best thing to do it to set your makeup the best you can by using primer, setting powder and setting spray. Before you could just touch up the area around your nose with powder. Hope this helps:) ♡

I wear glasses to work 24/7 and you have to make you sure you set the surrounding area really well!
I prefer a puff over a brush to press the powder onto my skin.. and I'll take a tissue paper after to remove any excess foundation. That usually works quite well for my glasses and my shirt collar as well.

I wear glass all the time. Just set your concealer then spray for face with your setting spray.
