Beauty Tips For Glasses!

I’ll be honest, I am not a big fan of wearing my glasses. They just get in the way sometimes! Also I always use to worry that my glasses would hide my makeup. But that’s not true! I soon learned many tips and tricks on how to emphasize my makeup looks while I’m wearing my glasses. And today I’m going to share with you all of those tips!

◊ Mascara

I love my lengthening mascara, but not when I’m wearing my glasses! Worst thing ever, having your lashes smashed up against your lenses. Stick with voluminous mascaras that focus on thickening your lashes, and don’t focus on adding length. To help them from laying flatter and sticking straight out (which can cause your lashes to hit the lens), you’ll want to curl your lashes first!

Best mascaras for mainly volume only;

1. Urban Decay: Perversion Mascara

2. Tarte: Maneater Voluptuous Mascara

3. CoverGirl: LastBlast Volume Mascara

◊ Concealer

Glasses often times give off shadows right under your eyes. You don’t want to create unwanted dark circles, or enhance them! It’s best to add a concealer, preferably lighter than normal, this will help brighten your under eyes as well!

2. Urban Decay: Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer

3. Clinique: All About Eyes Concealer

◊ Liner

I often stick with a cat-eye liner whenever I’m wearing glasses, it really emphasizes your eyes and eye shape. It’s best to keep your liner the same thickness as your glasses frames. Say you have super thin glasses, you’ll want a nice thin line & wing to match. Thicker frames, add a thicker, and sometimes longer wing! I prefer to stick with black liner, but to really get some extra focus on your eyes, you can do a bright colored liner instead!

1. Revlon: ColorStay Liquid Eye Pen

2. Kat Von D: Tattoo Liner

3. NYX Cosmetics: Vivid Brights Eyeliner

◊ Brows

All eyes will be on the area of your eyes, and ladies…that means brows too! So keep them nice a defined. If you love rocking your natural “you don’t care” brows then go for it! Although if you really want to be as glam as possible with your glasses, keep them full and perfectly shaped! When filling them in try to keep them in the realm of your natural shape!

1. Bobbi Brown: Long-Wear Brow Gel

2. Anastasia Beverly Hills: Dipbrow Pomade

3. Benefit: 24-HR Brow Setter Shaping & Setting Gel

◊ Setting Powder

The worst part of wearing glasses, is when you take them off and notice makeup has stuck to your glasses! Awful, right?! And less makeup is around the sides and bridge of your nose. Make sure to use a good setting spray, to keep your foundation in place, and doing its best to stick to only your face!

1. Laura Mercier: Translucent Loose Setting Powder

2. Bare Minerals: Mineral Veil

3. Rimmel: Stay Matte Pressed Powder

◊ Setting Spray

I have to admit that sometimes my setting doesn’t keep my foundation from sticking to my glasses after a few hours of wear. So I always opt for a setting spray when I wear my glasses. This will help keep ALL of your makeup in place and lasting all day!

1. Urban Decay: All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray

2. NYX Cosmetics: Matte Finish Makeup Setting Spray

3. TooFaced: Hangover 3-in-1 Replenishing Primer & Setting Spray

◊ Lips

Any excuse to rock a bright, bold or super dark lip, am I right?! Well wearing glasses is the perfect excuse. It allows people to catch a glimpse of somewhere other than your eyes. Since I like to stick with just liner and mascara, the way to glam it up is with a bold lip!

1. Stila: Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Beso

2. Urban Decay: Vice Lipstick in Anarchy

3. Sephora Collection: Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lip Stain in Mandarin Muse
