Women that wear glasses and makeup at the same time know what a pain it can be. We would like to share with you some makeup tips for girls with glasses!
Concealer works well if you have dark circles under your eyes and your glasses prescription magnifies your eyes. Also, depending on the frame it can cast a shadow and a concealer can take care of that. On the other hand some prescriptions can minify the size of your eyes. If that is the case, it is a good idea to accentuate your eyes to make them appear larger.
After you have prepped that area next is to try keep your eyelids bright. The makeup team over at LorealParis.com said, “When it comes to shadow, the lighter and more neutral the color on the lid, the better,” noting that dark shades will, “magnify dark undertones around the eyes, causing them to look tired and swollen.” They also recommended using a shimmery accent right in the middle of the lid and a highlighter on the brow bone for maximum brightness and openness.
Next tip is to use an eyeliner that is lighter in color than your frames. It is also recommended that the thicker the frame, the thicker the liner so that your glasses frame does not overpower your beautiful eyes.
The next step is to choose an eye shadow that compliments the color of your eyes. Therefore, choose a shade that goes well with the color of your eyes.
A nice tip is to use white eyeliner on your water line which will give you the illusion of having larger eyes. Additionally, use an eyelash curler so that your lashes are away from the lenses and so that they appear larger, especially if you are near-sighted and have a lens that makes your eyes look smaller.
Final tip is to try wearing a transparent setting powder. This will stop your foundation color from coming off onto your glasses!
Here at Durham Eyeglass Company we recommend choosing a great anti-reflective coating so that your gorgeous eyes are not being obscured by light reflections.
