As my bespectacled readers will know, figuring out what makeup to wear with your glasses can be a challenge! Glasses pretty much cover up your entire eye area, but you can still have pretty peepers that can and will show up from behind your specs.
How? By defining your eyes with some handy tips from this tutorial! This look uses liquid liner to make eyes pop and also incorporates a super lovely pink lip that doesn't fight for attention with your frames like a bold lip could do.
Now, down to makeup tutorial business! |
It's simple, easy, and makes your eyes the focal point of your face, not your glasses! If you wear contacts or have perfect vision (lucky you!), don't worry, this look will still look super cute on you. If you want glasses anyway, pop the lenses out of your 3D glasses from the cinema and we can all be geek chic together <3
It feels like I haven't done a makeup tutorial in forever, so I was very excited to shoot this one for you guys. I hope it gives you some inspiration! So what are you waiting for? Read on to find out how to create this look!
Taken By Surprise Tutorial
Girls With Glasses: Winged Eyeliner and a Pop of Pink
1. Start off by creating the base for your makeup by applying a primer. For someone with oily skin, glasses can slip down your nose if your makeup doesn't have a matte finish. A primer will help keep your makeup (and your glasses) in place.
Then apply a liquid foundation - I recently bought the Revlon Photoready foundation which is oil free (good for my shiny skin) and I find it works really well for wearing with glasses because it stays matte for longer than other foundations I've tried.
Add concealer to cover up any redness and gently apply to your under-eyes too if you have dark circles. Glasses not only magnify what you see, but also any bags under your eyes! So make sure they're less noticeable by using a concealer.

Oh yeah, I have aced ma base. |

Adding powder means I can say goodbye to disco ball skin! |
For a fresh faced look, apply a liquid highlighter underneath your brow bone, along your cheek bones, the bridge of your nose, your cupid's bow (the little dip above your top lip) and the highest point of your chin.

It's a subtle hint of colour but it is oh-so lovely! |

Scroll up to the previous step and you can really see the difference now that I have my brows filled in! |
Then with a matte white or neutral eyeshadow, apply all over your eyelid using a flat eyeshadow brush. To define the eye shape, take a metallic light brown shade and apply to the outer corner of the eyelid, then blend the colour into the crease using a windshield wiper motion.
To really make our eyes pop, add a metallic champagne-like white shade to the inner corners.

Apply to the outer corner and blend into crease: Urban Decay NAKED2 Palette in "Verve" |
Inner corner: Urban Decay NAKED2 Palette in "Bootycall" |
This is such a weird angle haha |
6. For some more definition, line your tight line with a waterproof black pencil liner. If you're not sure what a tight line is, it's the the waterline underneath your top lash line. It will feel awkward at first, but doing this makes your lashes look thicker (yay!). Then with the same liner, line your lower lash line halfway (to about the centre of your pupil).

Now pop your frames on, because we're done!
For girls with glasses - I wear glasses pretty much everyday unless I have a special event on, so let me know if you would like a series of tutorials on makeup suited for ladies with specs!
Do you wear glasses? What kind of makeup do you wear on a day-to-day basis? Let me know in the comments below!
Thanks for the helpful tutorial! I wear glasses, but not full time but I'm bound to end up having to! I find it so annoying when your face makeup smudges onto the bridge of your glasses! Oh, how are you finding the Rimmel Mascara? I've heard good things about it.

I love your eyeliner! Such a great look for glasses. I try to do similar, neutral looks when I wear glasses - sticking with BH Cosmetics's rules (http://www.bhcosmetics.com/blog/2013/10/29/best-eye-makeup-for-glasses/), especially not wearing shimmery shades on my eyes because it does reflect on the lenses, as I've seen.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much CJ! And that's a great tip, matte eyeshadows are a great option for spec-wearers like ourselves! x
