Today's blog post is a common question that many women have....how should I wear my makeup with my glasses??? A lot of people wear glasses....to be exact... about 6/10 people today wear glasses. Wow! Glasses can really hide your eyes and the makeup you have worked so hard to put on. Here are some tips and tricks to try out next time you are rocking that cute pair of bifocals:
- When it comes to shadow, the lighter and more neutral the color on the lid, the better. Save the bright and cool colors for the lips or days when you can brave contact lenses. Wearing darker more vibrant shades will magnify dark undertones around the eyes which will cause you to look tired.
- Line your upper lash line and make sure to fill in those tiny spaces in between lashes. If you can try using a color that is at least a shade or two lighter than dark frames so that the liner doesn't get lost in their shape. The TRICK here is to adjust the liner depending on your style of glasses: the thicker your frames, the thicker your liner should be.
- Precision is key for mascara so before you apply any, curl and comb lashes for optimal definition to the top lashes. If you can’t resist lower lash mascara like myself, apply a very light layer to only the root. If you apply mascara to the bottom tips it will give them a spidery look.
- Fill in your brows as you normally would but REMEMBER: glasses emphasize everything on your face including your brows.....so PLUCK THOSE STRAYS!
- Since all eyes will be on your eyes, keep the rest of the face simple. A good tip to remember is frames can sometimes create shadows underneath the eyes, so you might want to try a yellow-based concealer.
