How to wear good makeup if you wear glasses

Women who always wear eyeglasses often they are convinced that no eye make-up enhances them really or, even worse, that making up this part of the face is useless because the lenses would hide the work.

Nothing more wrong. Obviously, making up eyes on which glasses are usually placed requires slightly different measures compared to the standard but nothing excessive, as confirmed by the make-up artist Luna Taddonio.

“Wearing glasses does not mean seeing zero the possibilities of playing with make-up, on the contrary, there are so many options to do so, but for the result to be visible and impactful it is necessary to take some things into consideration”.

Frame and eyebrows must communicate

Before even thinking about make-up it is essential choose the suitable eyeglass frame. Each face, in fact, is enhanced by different shapes, sizes and colors to be carefully evaluated. But that’s not all: «when buying, I always recommend opting for one frame that does not cover the eyebrows but at least let them glimpse. Being the element that frames the gaze, it is important that it does not remain hidden ».

Also pay attention to their shape. “Too thin or combed, they risk creating an overlapping effect with the frame of the glasses because visually two precise lines are outlined one parallel to the other. Better therefore to leave them slightly uncultivated, thick and combed upwards as the trend of the moment also suggests ».

Eye rim in evidence

Moving on to eye make-up, there is no single option, the important thing is define the shape of the eyewhich tends to get slightly lost under the lenses, highlighting the lash line. «If you want to achieve a simple look it may be sufficient to apply a black or brown pencil following the pinching technique, which simply consists of drawing a thin line at the lashline. In this way it gives thickness to the look, preventing it from losing intensity ».

Smokey eyes mon amour

However, one of the most suitable techniques for women who wear glasses is smokey eyes, as long as it’s done excellently. “Considering that the lenses tend to make the gaze smaller is critical blend a lot the eyeshadow, especially in the lower part because the more you do it the more the eye visually grows. For this reason, a mistake absolutely not to be made is to apply the pencil inside the rhyme without blending it, because the opposite effect would be obtained, that is to make it smaller “.

Despite the charm of classic smokey eyes black both timeless, other perfect color options under the lenses are burgundy, plum and bronze. “The important thing is not to choose colors that are too light because they would risk disappearing and always prefer warm shades, so as to contrast the effect of the lenses which tend to slightly cool the colors”.

Must-have: mascara

Obviously, never forget the mascara, which opens and enlarges the gaze, making it more incisive. «An extra tip is, before applying it, to use an eyelash curler because if you have very long eyelashes they could touch the lenses ».

Lips in the foreground

Finally, despite the options to bring out the gaze even from behind the glasses, to make the make-up look more harmonious. one should not deprive oneself of lipstick «So as to balance the volumes of the face. Also in this case I recommend avoiding too light or nude colors but opting for shades of red or cherry»Concludes Luna Taddonio.
