Apply the tinted moisturizer all over your face, but concentrate your application on specific areas like your nose. This way, if you take off your glasses during the day, you won’t have any little red marks that glasses tend to leave.

2. Sponge up the excess foundation near your eyes to avoid having your glasses slide off your makeup

There are two reasons why your mascara flakes on your glasses:

  1. It is old. Your mascara is only good for 3 months after you open it.
