Fashionable and bright accessory, complementing the image and emphasizing the individuality of the beauty - this is exactly what leading stylists say about glasses. Glasses have long ceased to be just a means of correcting vision. But to become irresistible, makeup for glasses must be done correctly, otherwise a fashionista risks turning into a gray mouse or a fairground clown. Knowing the little tricks and avoiding the main mistakes in choosing style and cosmetics, creating the perfect makeup for glasses is not difficult at all.

Glasses are a powerful magnet that literally attracts the gaze of others. No matter how bright and provocative the makeup is, a modestly made-up girl with glasses still makes eye contact with her interlocutor more often. Therefore, makeup for girls with glasses should be neat and flawless, since the eyes are the main accent in the image of a fashionista. In addition, the lenses of glasses (even fake glasses) enhance the slightest makeup errors and skin imperfections, be it blurry eyeliner, wrinkles, circles under the eyes or crumbling mascara. Which means:

• the skin around the eyes should be perfect. Use masks nourishing creams, massage to restore elasticity and a fresh look to your skin. If the wreaths dark circles or wrinkles are still noticeable, eye makeup under glasses begins with masking imperfections (concealer, Foundation and other proofreaders);

​

• Be careful when choosing cosmetics. With the emphasis on the eyes created by glasses, crumpled shadows in the corners of the eyes, crumbling mascara and smudged eyeliner are especially noticeable to others. Mascara must be not just high-quality, but very high-quality, because eyelashes constantly touch the lenses of glasses, and friction with cheap cosmetics will turn into a disaster;

​

• When applying makeup under glasses, take your time and act very carefully. If poor eyesight does not allow you to see errors in the process, use glasses to apply makeup. The slightest errors will be noticeable, so movements must be precise and confident. To make sure your makeup is flawless, wear glasses and look in the mirror at each stage.

Magic transformation

With the help of glasses it is easy to visually change the size and shape of the eyes, but sometimes such adjustments do not add any attractiveness at all. To properly highlight the eyes, you need to take into account the influence of the lenses. Makeup for glasses for myopia should open the eyes and visually enlarge the eyes, since through the lenses the eyes appear smaller than they actually are. Your choice is careful shading, a minimum of clear lines outlining the eyelids, light shadows under the eyebrows (highlighter) and a light pencil along the inner contour of the eyelid. It is advisable to shade the dark outer contour of the eyelids, enhancing the haze with shadows. Avoid very dark and too faded inexpressive shades.

Makeup for glasses that correct farsightedness should visually increase the distance between the inner corners of the eyes. With farsightedness, glasses make the eyes appear larger (which is very beautiful), but the distance between the eyes seems insufficient, since the area of ​​the bridge of the nose does not fall under the lenses. To prevent your eyes from looking too close-set, use light eye shadow or highlighter to highlight the inner corners of your eyes. If nature has blessed a beauty with large, wide eyes, makeup for glasses for far-sighted girls should slightly reduce the size of the eyes, otherwise looking through the lenses will seem surprised or frightened. For achievement desired effect draw a clear dark line along the inner eyelid and use bright, rich shadows.

Color spectrum

The choice of shades when creating makeup for glasses is limited not only general rules(a combination of makeup and eye color, clothing and accessories), but also the color of the frame. The shades of cosmetics must be in harmony with the color of the frame, without repeating it exactly.

Shading gray shadows is ideal for frames in silver shades (metallic). For an accent, you can add a little lilac, dark turquoise or ultramarine color. It is advisable not to experiment with glitter, preferring a light pearlescent or matte texture.

All warm shades go well with gold or tortoiseshell frames. Eye makeup with glasses done with terracotta, chocolate, beige or sand shadows looks especially advantageous. You can play with soft, calm shades of green, but it is better to avoid blue, purple and pinkish tones.

In summer, bright and colorful glasses are an accent in themselves, so don’t overload your eyes with flashy makeup. Use calm tones and light shadows to highlight the beauty of your eyes. Don’t try to pull the emphasis from a bright juicy frame onto your eyes by using even brighter shadows - such makeup for girls with glasses will look defiantly tasteless. Carefully highlight your eyes with shadows of calm shades, and to prevent your face from getting lost in the crowd, use bright lipstick, the tone of which matches the color of the frame (but does not match it exactly).

The long-awaited makeup tutorial for bespectacled people!

How to apply makeup for those whose glasses make their eyes appear smaller:

• 1 The first and biggest problem for people with glasses is that glasses most often visually reduce the size of the eyes. In this case, all makeup will be aimed at resistance: that is, we will apply makeup in such a way as to maximize the contour of the eyes and make them visually more convex.
• 2 First, we perform a basic outline of the eyes along the contour. When connecting the upper and lower arrows, we do not paint over the outer slug - otherwise the eye will turn out, on the contrary, significantly smaller. To visually increase the shape of the eye even more, the basic outline needs to be shaded properly.
• 3 The next stage is applying and carefully shading the shadows. First, we darken the crease of the upper eyelid, then carefully apply a little shadow to the lower eyelid and highlight the lower mucous membrane with a light pink pencil.
• 4 When painting the eyelashes, we stretch them out into the “sun” as much as possible. The more “fan-like”, almost doll-like, the eyelashes look, the larger the visual size of the eyes will appear. The main area for painting is above and below the pupil.
• 5 Use a light pink pencil to highlight the space under the eyebrows - this technique visually increases the distance between the eye and the eyebrow.

How to apply makeup for those whose glasses make their eyes appear larger:

• 1 If lenses make the eyes visually too protruding, making them smaller in makeup is not entirely correct. Rather, makeup should make the eyes more graceful and smooth in shape. This means that the main emphasis in this make-up is stretching the shape of the eye into the “tonsil”.
• 2 We start, as last time, with a basic stroke along the contour. But in this case, the line should be clear and thin.
• 3 After painting the arrow of the lower eyelid, we darken the lower mucosa. This technique will significantly narrow the shape of the eye and soften it. But, as always, we leave the external slug untouched. Now, under the glasses, the eyes will appear no smaller, but much more elongated and graceful.
• 4 If you wish, you can add a little shadow to the upper eyelid - but only on the outer corner. The final chord is to apply mascara to the eyelashes.

• Remember - nothing changes the appearance of a woman’s face as radically as horn-rimmed glasses.


• Of course, makeup can significantly adjust the shape and size of your eyes, depending on the glasses you wear. But it is also very important to choose the right glasses themselves. Each face shape is ideally suited to its own shape of glasses, but there are also universal models that fit quite naturally on a face of any configuration. For example, Ray Ban Wayfarer glasses, which are fashionable these days, will suit almost any woman’s face for any outfit and for any occasion.

Bespectacled people moan that glasses disfigure their appearance! Sometimes they are so chosen in style, shape, color combination that they not only do not spoil, but also decorate. The main thing is to choose from the whole variety of models the one that will decorate you. And, of course, you need to use cosmetics correctly.

When choosing glasses, be sure to pay attention to the shape of the frame in combination with the shape of your face. If the face is triangular with a wide bottom, then the frame will suit you rectangular shape. If, on the contrary, the lower part of the face is much narrower than the upper part, then you should choose an oval frame.

For chubby women, trapezoid-shaped glasses are suitable, and if you have a square face shape, it is better to buy round glasses. WITH oval shape face and the right features, you can afford any frame. By the way, glasses can also correct the shape of the nose: if you wear them in the middle of the bridge of the nose, this will visually reduce the length of the nose.

It is very important to apply makeup correctly under your glasses; there is no need to match the eyeshadow to the color of the frame, but you do need to pay attention to your mascara. Eyelashes need to be made voluminous and fluffy.

To the frame blue shades or thin metal, gray, lilac, silver colors are suitable. Natural shades go with the gold frame - brown and beige. It is also better to choose shadows and contour pencils in warm colors for horned glasses.

Prescription glasses visually distort the size of the eyes, and this must be taken into account when applying makeup. Thus, glasses with minus diopters visually make the eyes smaller, so the task of makeup is to enlarge them and make them more expressive.

To do this, light matte or shimmering shadows are applied to the upper eyelid, and darker ones are applied closer to the eyebrows. Blend the transition well and be sure to paint your eyelashes with black or dark brown mascara. Highlight the outer corner of the eyes with a dark pencil. Makeup artists also recommend applying a little blush around the eyes, starting from the place where the frame touches the cheekbones and gradually moving up to the eyebrows.

But glasses with plus diopters visually enlarge the eyes, so it seems that the eyes are set close together. When applying makeup, try to visually increase the distance between your eyes. Apply light shadows to the inner corners of the eyes; as you approach the outer corners, their color should become more intense. Emphasize the outer corners of the eyes with dark shadows and contour pencil. Apply mascara only to eyelashes closer to the outer eyelid. With this kind of makeup you need to be very careful, because plus lenses magnify and highlight all the imperfections of the makeup. Therefore, if you are in a hurry, it is better to limit yourself to light makeup.

Stylists say that glasses are fashion accessory, which can complement the image and emphasize the girl’s individuality, because this has long been a difficult means for vision correction. Makeup for glasses needs to be done correctly, then their owner will become irresistible.
