If you’re over 40 then you may already be experiencing a bit of trouble with putting your makeup on due to nearsightedness. And if you’re under 40, then you have something exciting to look forward to. LOL! I kid you not that it happens overnight… You suddenly can no longer see text messages on your phone, or read the small print on labels.
I use a bright mirror when I apply my makeup. One side of the mirror is regular and when you flip it there is a 10X magnifying mirror. I prefer to use the regular mirror because it’s the most “real life like.” There are times when the magnifying side comes in handy, especially when applying eyeliner to the upper lash line. However, there are times when my magnifying mirror isn’t handy (such as hotel rooms). This is when I break out the handy “makeup readers.”
Makeup readers are a funny looking pair of glasses with a swiveling lens that allow you to apply makeup to the opposite eye in a clear and concise way. The main purpose of makeup readers is to make your life easier and always make sure your makeup looks beautiful.
I’m applying my mascara with my Makeup Readers. You can see that I’m using a +1.50 strength.
You can see from this picture and the one below the way the lens swivels from one side to the other to accommodate each eye.
I use these glasses when at home on occasion, but I always pack my makeup readers in my travel bag to be sure my eyeliner is on point. I highly recommend these if you have trouble applying mascara or eyeliner due to nearsightedness. You can purchase these at Readers.com. If you don’t know the strength that you need, then you can take a quiz or talk to someone at the site who can help you. They gave me discount code that you can use for a limited time when making a purchase on their site.

These are absolutely brilliant! What a perfect solution!
I can see closeup well as long as I’m not wearing my bifocal contact lenses that sort of “split the difference”. What’s hard for me to do is put on false eyelashes. I wonder if these would help?

What a genius idea. Thanks for sharing! I could have used these the other night when I was trimming my eyebrows!
I thought these were genius too! Yes, they’d be great for grooming the brows too! Stacie xo

These look very helpful. Happily, I can still see well, close up. For now. 😉
You are so lucky!! Stacie xo

These are such a great idea! I’m pretty much blind without my glasses on, so I’m used to being smooshed right up to the mirror to get anything done 😀
Haha! If it weren’t for my 10x mirror for the eyeliner I’d be in trouble. Stacie xo

These are so cool! When I first saw this picture I thought you broke your glasses, and then I realized NO, these are supposed to be like that and I got it. This is a great idea and I love that a company thought about this!
Haha, that’s funny you thought that!! Yes, such a genius invention!! Thanks for stopping by! Stacie xo

I must admit my first impression about these glasses was that they look really goofy. But now I think they might be quite useful, especially for travelling.
They definitely look goofy, but they’re only for makeup application so nobody sees them but you. Stacie xo

This is a great idea. My mirror seems to be getting further away from me and making it more difficult to apply mascara to the lower lashes, or eyeliner anywhere.
That is awesome. Where will get that makeup glass?
You can order them online. Stacie xo
