Question: Do people continue wearing eye makeup after being diagnosed with AMD?

Yes, people with AMD can continue wearing makeup, but they may need to adapt their routine. One myAMDteam member shares that she uses a 10x magnifying mirror with a ring light to help apply makeup accurately. This type of specialized mirror can be particularly helpful for detailed tasks like applying eye makeup or ensuring eyebrows are even. For best results when applying makeup with AMD:
• Use good lighting
• Consider a magnifying mirror with built-in lighting
• Take your time
• Ask family members for help if needed to check your application

Remember that everyone's experience with AMD is different - what works for one person may not work for another. The key is finding adaptations that work best for you.
