However, there are some tricks to make your eyes stand out without making you feel lost behind the glasses.
We know that when it comes to putting on makeup, glasses can be a nuisance. How to accurately outline or apply shadows well can be an impossible mission. In addition, the effect of glasses on our eyes can make them look small, tarnishing all our makeup work. But how to solve all these problems?
1. An outlined 10
A well-done outline makes the difference. The only thing to keep in mind is the shape and magnification of our glasses. The prescription of our lenses can vary the shape of the eyeliner, distorting its line. In the case of crystals with a lot of magnification, our eyeliner may seem thicker, which will reduce the delicacy of our look. In this situation, it is preferable to make a thinner line, well attached to the lashes.
2. Goodbye dark circles
Concealer is always necessary to cover dark circles, however the rubbing of our glasses with the dark circles area can favor the appearance of pimples. If your dark circles are very pronounced, don’t worry, there are some natural solutions to reduce them, such as chamomile bags. Prepare an infusion of chamomile, remove the bag containing the herbs and let it steep for a minute. Then place it over your eyes for a few minutes. This will relax your eyes a lot. It’s perfect for just before makeup!
3. Nude eye pencil
Glasses often make the eyes appear smaller, creating that popular «mole eye» effect that is so unsexy. The solution here is very simple. If you don’t know nude eye pencils, now you will discover their magic. Applying eyeliner in this color to your waterline will create the illusion that your eyes are larger. You can apply this trick to all the makeup you want. It is infallible.
4. Natural shadows
They are one of the biggest problems of makeup with glasses. Many women believe that the shadows are hidden behind the glasses, but nevertheless, the effect is the opposite, the lenses increase the color of the shadows. For this reason, the use of very bright or striking colors is not recommended. In makeup with glasses, less is more is a rule to follow. Use matte shadows and neutral colors to create more intense looks that highlight your eyes.
5. What to do with the eyebrows?
If the shadows can accentuate our look, the eyebrows can frame it and help us intensify our look. Well-defined eyebrows can focus attention on our eyes. To keep them perfect you just have to follow these three simple tips: clean, paint and clean the excess. First we have to clean our eyebrows well, and then fill in the gaps and possible bald spots in them using pencil or shadows, to give them a more beautiful shape. Finally, remove any excess paint that may remain, using a small brush.
6. The mask is a must have
We should never give up mascara. It is true that the sensation produced by the friction of the eyelashes with the glass of our glasses is very annoying. Curve them. Use an eyelash curler right before applying mascara, and your eyelashes will be flirty again.
Another solution, although for more special days, is the use of false eyelashes, yes, be careful when choosing your size, or you will be in the same situation. Remember, with glasses, less is more.
Tip: Avoid applying mascara to your lower lashes unless you want a twiggy effect.
7. Don’t forget the lipstick!
Lips are a fundamental piece for a perfect look. You already know that if you have made up your eyes in a more intense way, it is preferable to leave the lips more natural, using nude tones. If, on the other hand, you prefer to make up your eyes in a simpler way, take advantage of the lips as a strong point and use more intense tones.
With these simple tricks, you will no longer have problems to go with perfect makeup without leaving your glasses aside. And if you don’t wear glasses, what are you waiting for to get some?
