How to Choose a Face Mask to wear with Glasses

Specs and masks are not a match made in heaven are they? But there are a few tips that I can give you, to help with the fogging of your spectacles and sunglasses. - Wear your glasses over the mask rather than underneath. It won't stop the fogging entirely but it will help.
- Place a tissue on the inside of the mask to absorb excess moisture. This will also help to minimise make-up transfer!
- Wash your glasses in soap and water (baby shampoo is ideal). Wipe lightly or allow to air dry. The soap leaves a film that prevents glasses from fogging over.
- Try to achieve a tighter seal at the bridge of the nose. If you can, twist the ear loop so that you create an X shape and the top of the tie becomes the bottom and vice versa. Fastening the mask lower down the face, achieves a better seal.
- Spray your specs with an anti-fogging spray.

How to Apply Make-up to Wear with a Face Mask |

Eyeshadow is certainly the new lipstick. So, I suggest that minimal make-up is applied to the lower portion of the face, because let's face it, it isn't going to stay there when wearing a mask. Concealer applied to blemishes or areas of discolouration may suffice. Use concealer and eye base for a long lasting effect. |

Choose your most flattering eye shadow shades; now is not the time for experimenting, and complement with an eye pencil. For non-spectacle wearers, add an extra coat of mascara to really open up your eyes.
If you will be removing your mask and feel the need to wear lipstick, use a lip pencil to fill in the entire lip area or a matt lipstick (which is less sticky than gloss) mixed with a tiny amount of translucent powder for staying power.

I'll Show You Mine if You Show Me Yours!! 
Here is my favourite mask. Why do I love it? It is a great colour for me without too much detail. It is from my favourite dress company called Bombshell HQ. They make the most beautiful dresses in London in a very sustainable way but have also produced these stunning face masks. It is a Liberty London print material which they also make some of their beautiful dresses from. It has a pouch to put in a filter so it also does the job it's supposed to do.
In SummaryFace Masks are here to stay for a while yet so why not get one that you look forward to wearing. Think about your style personality, the best colour for you, how to apply your make-up to it's best effect and you will find one that makes you feel fabulous. Let me know if I can help you to find out which one is going to be best for you.
