Nothing screams powerful and sophisticated more than a beautiful, sexy woman with strong statement glasses but recently I have come into contact with several women that wear glasses and only realised how awkward wearing makeup can be when you wear your glasses so I decided to do a little post with some pointers to help you get the most out of your makeup without having to sacrifice your glasses.
1) Glasses tend to take off some of the foundation around the eye area so make sure to take off your glasses when you go to the ladies and tidy up any smudges with a bit of foundation on your brush or fingers, if you can set with powder this will give extra staying power!
2) When wearing glasses its extra important to define your eyebrows as otherwise the glasses will define your face rather than your brows. Regular brow maintenance is essential.
3) If your glasses are already colourful that will be enough colour around the eyes so concentrate more on a nice strong and bright lip colour. Corals, Pinks and Reds are great choices. This will instantly glam up your look and make you look polished and elegant with minimal effort. The statement lip will also help balance out the severity of the glasses.
4) If your prescription minimises your eyes line your eyes to add definition to them and also curl your lashes to make the most of your eyes.
5) If your prescription maximises your eyes make sure that your lashes are not clumpy. Instead of using a heavy thickening mascara try using two very thin coats of a lengthening mascara.
6) Try use a similar toned makeup to your glasses to help balance the look. So for example if your glasses are a warm reddish brown opt for brown/coppery type shades on your eyes. This is the same for lips. A nice Red lip would go well with this type of glasses. It will bring harmony to your face and not emphasise your glasses.
7) Always conceal your eye area very well as the glasses will only emphasise any darkness around the area.
8) Never go above the frame of your glasses with your eyeshadow because this will just look fake and over the top. Your glasses will add alot of interest to your face so there is no need to add too much eye makeup.
9) Adding blush and a soft highlighter to the top of your cheek bones will make your face glow and soften your face.
10) Be confident when wearing glasses, this really is so important as it shines through and makes you look super sexy and feminine.
I hope this helps you feel more comfortable wearing makeup while wearing glasses and if you have any questions please feel free to post.
