Makeup tips for eyeglass wearers

Wearing glasses can make it challenging to create a harmonious makeup look. But don't let that stop you from feeling beautiful! In this post, we will share some easy tips to help you enhance your natural features and complement your frames.

When you wear glasses the simple task of putting on makeup becomes a challenge when it comes to makeup. The fact that trying to do it without the glasses and making it match the lens and frames... is difficult. But here are tips that make it a lot easier.

The first and most important step is to have a magnifying mirror with adjustable height and angle, and if possible with various magnification amplitudes. And the second, of course, is to keep reading our post and follow our advice.

The frame design, the thickness, the color and the type of lenses can interfere with your makeup, but it is not a reason to stop wearing makeup and feeling beautiful. The trick is to try to make sure that your makeup and glasses complement each other.

In this sense, we should focus on the essential, highlighting what we really want to highlight. If in your case, not the eyes, then you should bet more on the lips, with strong, vivid colors, something that will balance the frame of the glasses with the rest of the face.

But if it is the eyes that you wish to highlight, follow these tips:

Correct well dark circles under the eyes

Eyeglass lenses tend to create shadows in the eyes, so it is important to always neutralize dark circles well, otherwise they will increase with unwanted shadows.

Abuse the eyelash mask

You should opt for an eyelash mascara that gives more volume than length. This is because lashes that are too long can hit the lenses, which is uncomfortable. Always curl your lashes with the help of a curler is also a very important step.

Eyeliner

Some people have doubts whether or not they should use eyeliner because of the same shadows that bother glasses wearers so much. But yes, you should use eyeliner to help create the illusion that your lashes have more volume than they actually do.

Pencil on the eye waterline

If the lenses increase the size of the eye, it's better to use a black eyeliner/liner on the waterline, because it gives the illusion that the eye is smaller and more closed. If it is the opposite, the lenses make the eye smaller, one should use eyeliner on the eyelid and a nude pencil on the waterline, to give the illusion that the eyes are larger.

Neutralize the skin as much as possible

We should always neutralize the skin, so that there is a balance between the shades of the frame and the shades of the skin. It is important to put less foundation on the nose area, as well as to fix the skin with powder, so that the glasses do not slip and remove the makeup from that same area, and thus, also not cause discomfort.

Eye Shadow

The lenses and the glasses hide the makeup a little bit. If we use very dark and heavy shadows they will "compete" with the shadows that the lenses cause in the eye. The ideal is to define the eyes with neutral shadows on the concave and blend a little underneath to define the eye's edges.

For those who like to highlight their eyes even more, you can opt for shades with glitter, because it reflects and can pass through the lens.

Choose the right products

Waterproof and perspiration-proof products are the most advisable, because the skin will release its own oils and behind the glasses we tend to perspire more. This prevents the makeup from blurring throughout the day.

By following these simple tips, you can create a harmonious makeup look that complements your glasses and enhances your natural features. Remember to invest in a good mirror, focus on one feature, and choose the right products for a long-lasting finish.
