Wearing glasses shouldn't dim your style. As a glasses-wearing beauty enthusiast with years of makeup trial and error, I've refined these 5 pro tips—drawn from experts like Bobbi Brown—to help you apply makeup confidently and avoid common pitfalls.
Every glasses wearer faces the challenge: how to make up with frames on? Here's your guide.
My first rule, backed by opticians and makeup pros: consider your lens correction. Myopia lenses minimize eyes, so go subtle. Hyperopia or presbyopia magnifies them—dial back intensity to prevent overkill.
Love eyeshadow? Save it for contact days. Glasses often mute eye color, so shift vibrancy to lips with a standout lipstick. Read also: Eyeliner—get your line perfect every time
Makeup artists universally advise illuminating under eyes, shadowed by frames. Apply concealer for light reflection and lengthening waterproof mascara to open your gaze. It prevents smudges on lenses all day.
Bobbi Brown shared with Marie Claire UK that eyeliner pairs brilliantly with glasses. Pro tip: thin line for thick frames, thicker for fine ones—precision is key.
