Makeup Tips for Glasses Wearers

Is your eye makeup getting lost behind your glasses, or are your eyelashes causing a bit of a struggle? We've all been there! From foundation and concealer to eye makeup, nailing the right look when you're sporting glasses is crucial.

Your glasses are a major focal point on your face, so choosing the right makeup can truly transform your appearance. Here are some top tips on how to wear makeup with glasses, brought to you by www.myselfglasses.com.
 

How to Wear Eye Makeup with Glasses

Eyeliner: The thickness of your eyeliner should complement your frames. For thin wire frames (like our Brooklyn range), opt for a soft stroke of eyeliner that snugly sits behind them. For thicker frames (like Atwood in Black), go for a bolder eyeliner stroke. Alternatively, line your eyes as usual, extending the top lash line across the entire eye to make your eyes pop behind the glasses.

Eye Shadow: Glasses can cast a shadow around your eyes. Choose a lighter eyeshadow shade, such as golden tones or pale pinks, to counter this effect. If your frames are colored, like Sloane in Claret, consider using an eyeshadow in a similar shade for a brighter, youthful finish.

Mascara: Long lashes hitting your glasses? Curl your lashes at the top to direct them upwards instead of outwards.
 

How to Wear Foundation with Glasses

Preventing Glasses Slip: For glasses wearers, foundation can sometimes lead to the dreaded glasses slip. Look for long-lasting or waterproof foundations. Top your foundation with matte powder and clean your glasses regularly to prevent slipping. Applying a lighter layer of foundation around your eyes and nose can also help.
 

Tips for Oily Skin Types

Blotting Sheets: If you have oily skin, especially around your t-zone, use blotting sheets regularly to prevent moisture and keep your glasses in place.

Preventing Dark Shadows: Use a bright concealer around your eyes, one shade lighter than your foundation, to eliminate any shadows caused by your glasses.
 

Wearing Blusher or Bronzer with Glasses

Application Trick: You can still wear blusher or bronzer with glasses. Use the rim of your glasses as a guide and apply only underneath the frame. This enhances your cheeks without overshadowing your stylish frames.
