Ever feel like your glasses and makeup just aren't working in harmony? You're not alone! Makeup application can get tricky when you've got eyeglasses to consider. But don't worry! With a few simple tweaks, you'll master gorgeous makeup that complements – not competes with – your favorite glasses.
- Prime Time is Your Time
Primer isn't just a buzzword – it's our secret weapon for flawless makeup application. It creates a smooth, even base, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and preventing your foundation or concealer from settling around your frames. Think of it as the ideal foundation for your artistic masterpiece.
- Eye Catching Eyeshadow
Your glasses become an extension of your eye makeup, so consider them when choosing your palette. Opt for hues that complement your frames (think warm browns with tortoiseshell) or create a beautiful contrast (soft plums with a gold frame). Shimmery shades, strategically applied within the lines of your glasses, add a touch of playful elegance.
- Define, Don't Diminish
While we all love a dramatic cat-eye, glasses sometimes call for a softer touch. Instead of a heavy liquid liner, try a smudged pencil in deep brown, charcoal, or a shade inspired by your frames. Our Define & Amplify Eye Pencil glides on effortlessly, making it easy to create the perfect smudged effect while offering a lasting definition. This defines your lash line and creates a beautiful frame for your eyes without making them appear smaller.
- Mascara Magic
Mascara adds instant drama, but with glasses, the perfect combination of curl and definition reigns supreme. Start by gently shaping your lashes with our Eyelash Curler; this opens up your eyes and provides the starting point for your mascara. Opt for a formula, like our Flawless Volumizing Mascara, that emphasizes separation and holds a beautiful curl throughout the day. Waterproof versions are ideal to prevent smudging and transfer. Keep a clean, disposable mascara wand handy to quickly fix any mishaps.
- Balancing Beauty
Think of your glasses as a statement accessory. Bold frames pair beautifully with softer lip colors; think of a sheer touch of berry, muted pinks, or a tinted balm for a touch of hydration. More delicate frames allow you to play with bold lipstick – a classic red or a playful fuchsia, whatever makes your heart sing!
- Brow Boost
Perfectly shaped brows frame your face, adding definition and polish, especially when you wear glasses. Fill in sparse areas with a brow powder or pencil matching your natural shade. Finish with a swipe of our Effortless Brow Lifting Gel to keep your brows looking their best all day. This lightweight formula subtly enhances your brow color, holding every hair in place for a polished, natural-looking finish.
- Highlight Your Radiance
Add a touch of magic with a subtle highlighter applied strategically along your cheekbones and temples. This catches the light, counteracting shadows from your glasses and creating a youthful, radiant glow.
