How to Do Your Makeup if You Wear Glasses

How to Apply Makeup When Wearing Glasses

Wearing glasses can be a fashionable way to enhance your look, but it can be tricky to figure out how to apply your makeup with them. However, by understanding the size and shape of your glasses and learning a few makeup application techniques, you can make sure your glasses don’t take away from your look.

Steps

• Choose the right frames. Find a pair of frames that suit both your face shape and your glasses prescription. Avoid frames that will overpower your face, as this can lead to a disproportionate look.
• Accentuate your eye shape. Consider what eye makeup looks best with your glasses. If the lens of your frames is significantly larger than your eye, opt for eyeliner and mascara to make them stand out.
• Makeup around the frames. Select a light color that complements your frames and use it to subtly apply color to the area around the frames. This will help you create a more even-toned look.
• Brighten your eyes. Use a light eye-shadow shade that’s just one tone lighter than your natural eye color to make your eyes appear brighter. Darker shades will make your eyes hard to see behind the lenses.
• Focus on your brows. Use a medium brown brow pencil to fill in your eyebrows for a more symmetrical look. Eyebrow powder and clear gel are also options.
• Draw attention to your lips. Lip colors like bright pink and deep red will grab attention, whereas nude colors can help tone it down and balance the look.
