7 Makeup Tips For Anyone Who Wears Eyeglasses
Outside In
If you want to make your foundation application to last, blend your foundation from the outside in. Apply the product beginning from your chin and hairline and then move towards your cheeks. Save the nose area for last. Use whatever product is left on your brush to lightly add coverage to your nose. Since your nose is where your glasses sit on your face, minimising the amount of foundation you use on the area will prevent scraping and fading of your base makeup application at the area.
Set It Up
When using setting powder on your base, dust the powder on the nose pads of the glasses as well as a bit of extra on the sides of your nose. This will prevent any creasing of foundation and will also make your base look seamless. It will prevent foundation from transferring on your glasses and also avoid your glasses from slipping, sliding, and scraping foundation from the nose area.
Blush On
Apply blush with your glasses on. This way you know exactly where to focus the blush application and you will also end up avoiding the areas of skin on which the frames of your glasses rest. The blush application will also look more prominent as it won’t be hidden under your glasses.
Snatched & Smokey
Since your eyes are behind glasses, make use of neutral hues to carve out, shape and lift your eye shape. You can use a contour product in your crease lines to sculpt your eye shape and then swipe a shimmer eyeshadow on your lids along with winged liner on your lash lines. If your glasses are more magnified, opting for a neutral smokey eye makeup look will look utterly gorgeous.
Framed Masterpiece
Your eyebrows frame your frames so don’t skip on brow grooming. Fill in gaps in your brows with an eyebrow pencil and blend for bold and fluffy brows. Swipe on a brow mascara to hold the strands in place. You can also use a soap brow product for a more natural look that really lifts your visage and avoids getting smudged by your glasses.
Lash Out
Opt for volumising mascaras instead of lengthening ones as you don’t want your lashes to be wiping the insides of your glasses when you’re wearing them. Also, make sure to curl your lashes before applying mascara for that very reason.
Colour Play
You can go bold with your lip makeup since you are keeping your eye makeup more natural. Your eye makeup will still be out of focus since you are wearing glasses so going bold on your lips is a great idea. Swipe on a statement making lipstick shade or simply match your lipstick to the colour of your frames. You can have fun with it.
