Do you wear glasses and always have that question about what looks good and what doesn’t look good with makeup?
So check out some tips for combining makeup with prescription glasses:
Wearing glasses was not always considered something beautiful or charming, as it is today. The fashion caught on in such an impressive way that even those who don’t have vision problems are embracing the style, with non-prescription lenses, just to take advantage of the beautiful glasses models. But, even with so much acceptance, the truth is that many women still get confused when it comes to combining makeup with prescription glasses.
The main complaint of those who have this difficulty, according to those who understand make-up, is about what they can or cannot wear or what looks good or not. But what almost no one knows is that, when it comes to combining makeup with prescription glasses, there are few rules and what really counts is each woman’s personal taste.
The tips, as you will see in the list below, are simple and basically include disguising dark circles, highlighting eyebrows and eyelashes and defining the crease of the eyes. Other than that, there is no limit to the colors of eyeshadows, nor are there any limitations to lipstick colors when combining makeup with prescription glasses.
Well, enough talk and let’s get to the point. Check out the list below and never have difficulty doing your makeup with prescription glasses again. Oh… and please don’t deprive yourself of anything just because you wear glasses, okay?
1. Highlighted eyebrows
In general, glasses draw attention to the eye area and, therefore, highlighting the eyebrows is a great trick when combining makeup with prescription glasses. This is because the eyebrows will act as a kind of frame. So, it’s worth using pencil or brown eyeshadow to fill in natural flaws and, of course, keep your drawing up to date.
2. Dark circles covered
Camouflaging dark circles also makes all the difference when it comes to combining makeup with prescription glasses. This is because they can give your face a tired look, as well as giving the impression that your makeup is smudged or something.
So, as soon as you apply your foundation, be sure to use a little concealer to cover your dark circles. Oh and, measure the quantity of products well, so that the layer is very dry on the skin and there is no risk of dirtying the bottom or the lenses of the glasses.
3. Marked concave
The upper eyelids often end up disappearing due to the contour of the glasses lenses. So, the next time you combine makeup with prescription glasses, remember to mark the crease, that is, the division between the soft part of the eyelid and the bone above the eyes. To do this, use brown tones and, if possible, blend them.
4. Cat eyeliner
To make your eyes stand out when combining makeup with prescription glasses, always opt for cat eyeliner. There are people who have difficulty achieving this effect, but we have already taught you here (click to see) how to do the crouched tip without any major problems. With retro frames this look is beautiful, especially when paired with classic red lipstick!
5. Weighted Eye Pencil
If your lenses give the impression that you have small eyes, avoid using eyeliner. This is because if applied to the waterline, the pencil “closes” the eye, giving the illusion that they are smaller in size. Therefore, this product should be avoided, especially by those who have myopia, whose lenses already do this.
6. Illuminated spots
When combining makeup with prescription glasses, opt for discreet, pearlescent shadows to illuminate the eyebrow line and the inner corner of the eyes. This gives the impression of a more highlighted, clean and attentive look. If you didn’t use eyeshadow, spread a little bit of it over your eyelids.
7. Neat lashes
Although many women are uncomfortable with their eyelashes hitting the lenses when they wear mascara, highlighting the eyelashes is essential to look beautiful when wearing makeup with prescription glasses. If this is a problem that bothers you too, opt for mascaras that add volume and don’t lengthen your lashes.
8. Strong lower lashes
Prescription glasses end up highlighting the lower eyelids, so it is not possible to neglect this region when combining makeup with prescription glasses. Just as it is important to cover dark circles, it is also important to highlight your lower lashes.
The ideal is to make a light smokey look next to these lashes with brown eyeshadow (gold and aubergine are also colors that look beautiful, although they are bolder) and then apply mascara to the outer corner.
9. Blush and lipstick to finish
Makeup will never be complete without blush and lipstick, even a light one. In the case of makeup with prescription glasses, it is no different either. So, the final tip is to close with a different key: go easy on the blush, just to look healthy; and use lipstick of your choice.
Regarding lipstick colors, nude is super fashionable and a wild card, but there are people out there who also rock combining the color of their lipstick with the color of their frames. But there are also red ones, always classic.
And now, if you also wear glasses, how about trying combining makeup with prescription glasses?
