If you’ve worn eyeglasses for decades, you might consider your glasses a part of you—and your look.
Glasses can be a fun way to show off your personality.
Bold frames, bright colors or jeweled details tell the world something about your style.
They also present their own challenge when deciding how best to apply your makeup.
Whatever your bespectacled style, the tips below will help you apply makeup that highlights and enhances your natural beauty—regardless of which frames you choose to wear.
1. Counterbalance your frames
Take a look at your glasses frames. Are they chunky? Brightly colored? Delicate and thin?
Your eye makeup should balance the look of your frames. Darker eye makeup with a thicker frame can overwhelm your face, while more delicate styles can support a bolder eye look.
If your frames are chunky or have bright colors, use a lighter approach with your eye makeup.
Skip the complicated approach entirely and stick to one or two layers of a soft-black mascara like Boom Bright™.
Wearing thin, rimless or light-colored glasses? You can put more oomph into your eye makeup with an extra layer of mascara and a creamy eye shadow like Boomstick Glimmer™.
