Frame and Make Up Tips for Women Who Wear Glasses

Finding the perfect frames to suit your bones structure, colouring and personal style can be difficult, but you can use make up to complement your frames. It can be hard to experiment with make up when you wear glasses, but revamping your face and eyes with Natasha's tips and techniques which will allow you to master your eye make up, easily! Complementing your frames will enhance your best features and put the spotlight on your beautiful eyes!

Eye Catching Looks Made Easy
Leading make up artist, Natasha Severino, with Specsavers, has put together some make-up tips for glass wearers:

If you are long-sighted, glasses will make your eyes seem larger so it's important not to overdo it:

Apply darker shades of eye shadow on your eyelids - browns, dark greens and blues work well

Blend, blend and blend! Any colour hiccups or flaws will be magnified

Avoid shimmery colours as they tend to over amplify your eyes behind glasses

Brush mascara on your upper lashes only - this will stop your eyes from appearing too roundbehind glasses

If you are short-sighted, your lenses will make your eyes appear smaller, so bolder make-up will help enhance your eyes:

Put mascara on both the upper and lower lashes to accentuate your eyes

For more definition, define top lash line with kohl pencil and blend well into the lashes

Keep the lid of the eye lighter in colour

You may use a shimmer highlighting powder or cream on the inner corners of the eyes to make they appear bigger
General make-up tips for all spec wearers:

Don't forget to curl your lashes before applying mascara. This will stop your lashes from touching your lenses

Your eyebrows are paramount when wearing glasses as they usually sit just under your brows, make sure they're always well groomed

All frames can cast a shadow under your eyes that make dark circles appear worse than they actually are, so a great rule is to use a light reflecting concealer to hide them, then set with loose or pressed powder

Your choice of frames influences your eye make-up colour palette:

With bold, bright frames use lighter hues to open up your eyes - a pale taupe, tan, or soft pink are all good choices, also opt for lighter lip shades and glosses

With more delicate frames, choose deeper hues in your eye shadows to balance the eye area, for an edgier style, try some brighter hues in colours such as green, blue, or pink and be a little bolder with your lips with bright reds and deep earthier tones

No matter what type of frames you have, at the end of the day it's all about feeling great, being comfortable and confident with the way you look. Express your personality through different looks and don't be afraid to experiment with colour

Natasha Severino has worked with Tara Moss, Miranda Kerr and Megan Gale, said: "Spectacles have made a big comeback this season with bigger, bolder frames, but the trick is to show off your eyes with a colour palette that makes them stand out without overwhelming the rest of your face. With a new pair of frames and the right make-up to match, you'll be sure to turn heads this party season and all year round."
