Someone’s come up with a life-changing hack that stops glasses slipping down your nose… and visually-impaired people the world over are rejoicing
Chances are, you might already have the solution in your makeup bag
TRYING to pull off the brainy look can be a bit of a mean feat if you’re constantly pushing your glasses up your nose.
Luckily, astute spectacle wearers have shared their best tips of how to stop their frames slipping down their noses.
When a Reddit user asked: “How do I stop my glasses from slipping?” responders were on hand to offer some clever tips.
One of the most popular suggestions involved a product that many women will already have in their make-up bags.
It turns out that dabbing some eyeshadow primer onto the bridge of your nose could be a simple solution.
Just as the liquid would hold the makeup onto your eyelid, a thin layer works to stop your frames from budging around on your nose.
The Redditor advised: “If you are female you may already have eyeshadow primer in your makeup collection… a couple dabs on either side of your nose works pretty well.”
No eyeshadow primer on hand? There are oodles of other ways to prevent spectacles slippage.

Aside from suggestions to “wear contacts” or “buy new glasses”, there were actually quite a few crafty glasses hacks.
A Reddit user had advice for a temporary fix, commenting: “Wrap hair bands around the handles of the frame where it would sit behind your ear.
“It adds more tension to the frame and grips better.”
Another suggested: “Those nose pads need to be changed every so often, because they start to slip after several months.
“Many opticians will do it for free or very cheap.”
There’s no doubt that there’s a gap in the market for a product that combats this irritating issue.
Nerdwax claim that they have created a product which is “specially formatted to keep your glasses in place while you live your life.”
The sticky product, which is made from natural and organic ingredients, helps to keep your specs secure.
Their website explains: “Nerdwax works by creating a tacky layer of friction between your glasses and your skin, so as longs as your glasses touch your face and are properly fitted then nerdwax will help keep them in place.”
