Glasses can be an amazing fashion accessory if you choose a style that flatters your face. Glasses will also draw attention to your eyes, which affects how you apply your makeup. Your eyes will be highlighted by your glasses frames. So of course you want to make sure your eye makeup in particular, is flawless. Here are the best makeup application tips for glasses wearers.
Before you get to the makeup tips, you should ensure you have the best glasses for your face shape and overall style. Have a look at the wide variety of glasses including sunglasses, round glasses, colorful glasses, and clear glasses from FramesDirect.
Magnifying mirror
Sometimes it can be difficult to apply your makeup before you put your glasses on because you can’t see the details clearly. Doing your eye makeup can be especially difficult because you certainly don’t want to poke yourself in the eye with the mascara wand! This is why having a magnifying mirror is very important when you’re applying makeup. A magnifying mirror will help you see yourself much more clearly as you apply your makeup, helping you get all the details just right.
Setting powder and setting spray
Another common issue for glasses-wearers is that the foundation on your nose can get smudged and worn away by the bridge of your glasses. This is particularly annoying if you don’t wear your glasses all the time because you’ll be taking your glasses off and revealing the pink marks on your nose where your foundation has disappeared. This often creates an issue in summertime when people wear their sunglasses and remove them often throughout the day. To avoid this issue, you should always set your foundation with powder and spray your face with a long-lasting setting spray when your makeup is finished. This will hold your makeup in place for much longer.
Volumizing mascara
If you wear glasses, you may have also experienced getting black smudges from your mascara all over your lenses. To avoid this very annoying problem, you should use volumizing mascara rather than lengthening mascara. If your eyelashes are too long due to the lengthening mascara, they’ll brush against your lenses and leave black marks.
Another tip is to never use old, dry mascara – drier mascaras will crumble and leave flakes on your glasses. Try to replace your mascara every few months. This is also important for your health because using expired mascara can cause sensitivity or even give you an eye infection.
Bold lipstick
Although glasses will emphasize your eyes, this doesn’t mean you have to focus on eye makeup all the time. To balance out your face, you could go for subtle eye makeup and a bold lipstick. A red lip is always a classic choice. You could also try out bright colors like pink or peach, or darker colors like burgundy or berry.
Glasses can cause some issues with your makeup application. By adjusting your techniques and using different products, you can create a flawless makeup look that stays put all day. Try out these makeup application tips for glasses wearers to see how they improve your makeup application!
