I recently got glasses and I've noticed that no matter what under eye concealer, powder BBcream or anything like that it always ends up rubbing off on my glasses. Also my glasses get super oily even if my powder is still matte. I've tried not putting any wear my glasses touch my fave but somehow it still gets on there. Do you guys know how to fix this or any tips about glasses and makeup in general?

I am not sure how to deal with the make up sticking to your glasses, but depending on whether you are far or near sighted, using more eye make up would be an option, because the glasses my make your eyes and everything look smaller. Also wait til your mascara is dry before putting on the glasses - nothing is worse than being in a hury and having mascara on the glasses ;)

I don't think anything can change the fact that your makeup smudges on your glasses, I'd suggest not wearing any makeup if this bothers you this much.

I wear glasses and makeup everyday, IMO there is nothing that can be done about your nose pieces smudging your makeup. Glasses by nature pick up oil and dust throughout the day, I carry little pre-moist eyeglass cleaners in my purse and clean my glasses as needed. I don't worry about my makeup being messed up under the nose pieces tho, because its covered up and not noticeable. If you take your glasses off throughout the day, like if you only use them for reading, then just use your finger tips and lightly smudge and blend the area the was smudged and then use a oil blotting sheet.

Avoid the areas around your glasses. as someine who wears glasses, I know what you're going through.

My nose piece always leaves a mark and slides down my nose! Glasses problems, sigh. Em and Ashley pretty much covered my advice to give. I always bring powder, blotting paper, and cream foundation(if it's a super noticable). I usually just wipe off the makeup from the glasses with my fingers for the day then, when I'm home, I wash my glasses with soap.

I had glasses for a really long time and I primed the area with an eye primer, put on concelar, powdered with Rimmel stay matte, then I used my elf setting spray on the whole face and waited like 5 minutes before putting the glasses back on.

It's a process! Switching to contacts was the best thing I ever did for so many reasons including makeup!

Ooooh I hate when that happens. I don't wear glasses, but I feel your pain when I wear sunglasses...my makeup gets aaaalllll over them where my nose sits, and with my bigger glasses, it rubs off onto the bottom of the lenses from my cheeks. So gross :(

THIS HAPPENS TO ME TOOO. I use the UD Setting Spray and it doesn't help to keep makeup off my glasses. I think it happens when the sweat and oil on your skin rubs on the glasses, kinda creating friction and rub off. If you look at my pics you see I do my makeup selfies before I wear my glasses so you'll see it fresh and non smudgy on the sides of the nose, where the glasses grip is.

I wear glasses and I just deal with it because I don't like adding a bunch of products to my skin just to try and avoid that issue. My frames are expensive and I'd rather not risk the chance of messing up the varnish on them.
