Eye Makeup with Glasses
Take a look at this video from a very well-known makeup influencer, to help you out with the best tips about facial makeup with glasses. Down below you can find a summary of the video, in case you don’t have time to watch it!
Foundation
- Apply minimal foundation on your nose to avoid dents and marks.
- Use an oil-absorbing primer or matte foundation if you have oily skin.
- Apply foundation lightly, especially where your glasses sit, and use pinpoint concealing for extra coverage on specific areas.
Concealing
- Use a light-reflective concealer around your eyes to counteract shadows from glasses.
- For long-lasting coverage, mix a non-creasing concealer with a light-reflective one.
- Apply primer on your eyelids and under your eyes to prevent creasing and sliding.
Eye Makeup
- Tailor your eye makeup based on whether your glasses magnify or minimize your eyes:
- For magnified eyes: Use matte shades, well-blended eyeliner, and avoid heavy glitter.
- For minimized eyes: Use light shades to open up your eyes, light eyeliner, and avoid dark waterlines.
Lashes
- Curl your lashes to prevent them from touching the lenses.
- Use a waterproof or long-lasting mascara to avoid smudging.
- For magnified eyes: Choose a separating mascara and comb through to avoid clumps.
- For minimized eyes: Use volumizing mascara to enhance the lashes.
Brows:
- Keep brows groomed and clean up stray hairs, especially if they are magnified by your lenses.
- Avoid making brows too dark if your frames are heavy and dark to maintain balance.
Finishing Touches:
- Set foundation and concealer with powder, especially on oily areas.
- Use highlighter to add light to areas around your eyes, adjusting the intensity based on magnification.
- Apply blush and lipstick as usual, considering your overall look and personal style.
