13 Makeup Tips for Glasses Wearers

Being a glasses wearer completely changes how your face looks, which means that the way you wear your makeup with glasses should be different from how you wear it without. Follow these simple tips to be sure that you are spectacular with you spectacles!

Shape Your Eyebrows

When you have glasses, makeup is all about giving structure to your face so it doesn't get lost behind your glasses. Getting your eyebrows shaped to suit your face and glasses is the best way to do this!

Nude Eyeliner

Sometimes glasses can make your eyes look smaller. Applying nude eyeliner to your waterline can help reverse that effect.

Neutral Eye Shadow

Glasses in themselves are often a bold statement, so using neutral eye shadows is best. They can help your eyes pop, without looking like you have too much going on around your eyes.

Bold Lip

While colorful eye shadow isn't the best for glasses wearers, a bold lip seriously complements glasses. Bright pinks, red, berry tones and oranges have a way of balancing out glasses. The pairing of the two will leave you looking casual, yet chic.

Cat Eye

Sometimes eye makeup can get a little lost behind glasses. A cat eye is a great way to show off your makeup skills. The shape also complements glasses well, as it will often mimic the shape of frames.

Mascara

Mascara is a go-to for making your eyes look bigger behind your lenses. If you have problems with your mascara sticking to your glasses, just make sure you curl your eyelashes first!

Match Your Liner And Frames

To make eyeliner look best on your face, consider the thickness of your frames. If you have thick frames, you're going to want to balance that out with thick liner. On the other hand, if you have thin frames, thick liner will be overpowering, so opt for a skinnier line.

Highlighter

Highlighter is a glasses wearer's best friend. Apply it on your cheekbones to add structure to your face and place it in the area beneath your bottom lid. This will ensure that you look bright and awake behind your glasses, instead of getting lost.

Shimmer On Lower Lid

A little shimmer beneath your bottom lash line is another way to brighten up your eyes. Don't stop there if you don't want to Ð go for the upper lid too!

Fill Eyebrows In

Once you have shaped eyebrows, find a subtle way to fill them in without going over the top. A bolder brow will create structure and will ensure that your features aren't overwhelmed by your glasses.

Blush And Bronzer

Like bold lipstick, a little blush is a great way to add some color to your face. A touch of rosiness often complements glasses and a hint of bronzer will help your cheekbones stand out.

Glowy Foundation

They key to any great makeup look is a great complexion. Grab yourself a foundation that suits your skin type. Glowy foundations in particular are great for helping you look healthy and bright no matter how sleepy you may be.

Pick Your Glasses Carefully

The best tip for glasses wearers is to pick glasses that truly suit your face shape. Try not to get stressed out or rushed about the process. The best way to feel confident in your frames is to love what they bring to your face and outfits!
