How To Make Eyes Pop Under Glasses

The effect of makeup will vary according to the type of glasses you wear. Lenses for the near-sighted may make your eyes appear smaller so, makeup needs to create the effect of brightness. It may be necessary to wear more makeup than you're generally comfortable with.

Lenses for the far-sighted, however, magnify your eyes so, your application should not be too strong. You can imagine how you would look to others if your lashes were magnified three times with unnecessary heavy coatings of mascara. Yikes !!!!

It's important that you always apply makeup to your entire face. Do not ignore your lips and cheeks or, you will create an imbalanced and unfinished effect. If you do have extremely poor eyesight and find applying makeup difficult, do not be afraid to use a mirror with a magnifying side as it will help dramatically.

The color of your eye frames is just as important. We talked earlier about complimenting colors enhancing your skin tone. This should also apply with your eyeglass frames as well. Blonds with yellow undertones can use gold, tan, bright red, blue gray, violet or navy frames. Blonds with blue undertones will favor silver, black, blue green, plum and powder or sky blue better.

Women with hair the color of red, auburn, brown with heavy red highlights will look better in gold, dark brown, mahogany, warm red, khaki green or jade and warm beige frames. If you have very dark brown or black hair with clear blue undertones try black, purple, burgundy, navy blue or charcoal gray frames. Women of color will be complimented with frames the color of graphite, hickory, teal, java, amethyst, plum and wine. NOTE: tinted glasses can distort your eye color as well.

Remember your eyebrows should be even with the top of your frames or just a tad higher so, correct if necessary. Because your glasses lighten color, your eye shadow can be slightly deeper in shade. It is essential to create a balance between the depth of colors you use to create an overall impression. If you use a softstick to outline your eye, use it in moderation and a color other than black or brown ... for example try gray, beige or green.
