6 Eye Makeup Tips If You Wear Glasses

I really love the eye makeup, so when I got eyeglasses a couple of years ago, I was frustrated. I felt like a lot of my lovely eye looks would now be useless. However, it turns out there are several makeup tips for looking stunning in eyeglasses. It’s just about readapting a few of your makeup basics to adjusting with your frames, as opposed to trying to work around them or avoiding them altogether.

Makeup Fredericton described not taking eyeglasses into account when putting on makeup as associated with not taking the furniture in your dining room into consideration when repainting your room walls. It just doesn’t make sense. Makeup is an art, and your eyeglasses add an entirely new aspect to your makeup process. Furthermore, you can make your eyes look noticeable and more prominent, even behind glasses if you use a few basic practices and avoid some simple mistakes.

Mainly, if you love makeup and love highlighting your eyes, you don’t need to say ta-ta to that just because you now have glasses around them. Here are the top six guidelines I’ve compiled for making your eyes look amazing in frames.

Keep Lids Bright

The makeup team over at spa Fredericton said, “When it comes to shadow, the brighter and more neutral the colour on the lid, the best,” nothing that gloomy shades will, “increase dark undertones around the eyes, causing them to look swollen and tired.” They also suggested using a shimmery accent right in the mid of the lid and a highlighter on the brow for supreme glare and openness.

Use Lighter Eyeliner

The Stila makeup team also suggested using an eyeliner a shade or two brighter than your glasses frames so that your liner doesn’t hide in the large picture. They noted that the depth of your liner should directly relate to the extent of your eyeglasses, meaning the solid the frames, the copious your eyeliner should be. “This will make sure your spectacles don’t overpower your eyes,” they noted.

Eye Lash Curler

The expert also recommended using a lash curler if you wear frames. If you think of lashes as visors or awnings for the eyes, by curving or flipping them up you allow lighter to reach the eye and that makes the eye look better and brighter, she noted.

Enhance Eye colour

Makeup is about trying what makes you feel beautiful, so really you can try whatever colours you like. However, if your objective is actually to make your eyes pop, the makeup artist said to wear colours that match your exact eye colour. She noted that light brown shades look amazing on both brown and blue eyes, and dark purple tones accent grey eyes.

White Eyeliner For Water Line

Professional makeup artist suggested using a beige or white eyeliner on your lower water lines to create the impression of bigger eyes. This is especially helpful if your eyesight treatment makes your eyes look smaller. And a professional tip: I have found that drying my waterline with a Qtip earlier really benefits eyeliner stay there longer.

Never Skip Concealer

In a piece for Cosmopolitan, Fredericton Stila makeup application artist noted that a lot of females would skip concealer when they wear frames because they believe the eyeglasses will hide their under black eye circles; however, she thought that the shadows created by the frames could make them worse. She instead suggested an under eye-enhancing concealer set with powder.

Conclusion

Wearing glasses doesn’t mean you have to give up on your eye makeup. It’s just about somewhat adjusting your routine to complement your glasses and create a new sense of balance. So go ahead and take advantage, because at the end of the day it’s just makeup, and makeup is actually to be fun!
