7 Tips for Flawless Makeup With Glasses

“Makeup is a woman’s best friend”, rightly quoted by someone on the internet. Makeup is that part of our everyday routine that all of us swear by. It is often looked upon as something that makes us look beautiful, but if you ask me then it makes me more confident. By enhancing some facial features, I feel extremely confident and look at myself like a queen whenever I pass by a mirror.

While going through Instagram, we come across a range of makeup styles- from everyday office looks to extra-glam party looks. However, I often get dm’s about how I manage to keep my makeup so good with eyeglasses. From creasing to small eyes, something or the other is always wrong when they do makeup. Well, I was not an expert initially (but I guess now I am). After years of research, I have come across a routine that not only looks stunning with glasses but also lasts long. If you are also someone struggling with the same, then you need these tips in your life to get that flawless base with no dents or lines.

Invest in a Magnifying Mirror

While applying makeup, one thing that often gives us pain is not having a clear vision. Sometimes the base is not equally blended, and sometimes the wing is not the same. Forget about getting compliments; all you get is people telling you to correct it. Therefore, the first thing you should do is invest in a magnifying mirror. It will help you see clearly and apply makeup perfectly.

Concealer Your Magic Wand

If you have dark circles around your eyes, then concealer is a magic wand that can conceal the dark shade and highlight your eyes. Remember that the frames of the glasses create a shadow on your eyes, and this will make the skin around your eyes appear darker. Thus, it is recommended to use a full-coverage concealer before applying other makeup products on the eyes. But, make sure you don’t go overboard. If you have darker skin around your eyes, correct it with orange concealer first and then cover it with a lighter-toned concealer.

Say No to Creasing Lines

Are you also someone who sees creasing lines under the eyes after putting on concealer, or maybe some dents on the nose due to eyeglasses? This is quite common, and I have seen many women struggling with it. Once you have blended concealer under your eyes, use a powder brush and press some loose powder on it. Let it sit there for a few minutes- till then, maybe apply some blush. Dust off the excessive powder, and trust me, you won’t get creasing lines. Now, to avoid dent’s always apply less base on your nose and apply some loose powder on your nose pads and see how you will never have those dents on your nose.

Right Eye-Makeup

Do you know how much power the right eye makeup holds? It makes your eyes the centre of attention and appear bigger and brighter- all you need are the right eye makeup products. Once you have applied the concealer, set it with powder. Take a neutral-toned eyeshadow and apply it all over your eyelid. Then take a dark brown shade, apply it over the end corner of your eye, and take some light highlighting shade towards the inner corner. Now, just follow this technique, blend-blend-blend. Take your favourite eyeliner (mine is gel eyeliner) and create a small wing to make your eyes appear more enhanced. Tightline your eyes with white eyeliner as it will give an illusion of bigger eyes.

Enhance Your Lashes and Define Brows

When we are talking about eyes, how can we forget about eyebrows and lashes? Let me tell you, they are extremely important. Start by defining your brows, brushing them and filling them with your eyebrow pencil or powder. Moving forward, curl your eyelashes and apply a decent amount of mascara to add volume and length to your lashes. Using a waterproof mascara is a great option because it will not get smudged off even when you accidentally rub your eyes.

Right Placement of Blush

There are so many ways to apply blush, W-technique, inverted C, and even just the cheeks, but what will work for you is aligned with the eyeglasses you are wearing. Let me simplify this for you- If you are wearing a small frame, then you can follow the W-technique as it will cover both nose and cheeks. Whereas, if you are wearing an oversized frame that is sitting low on your cheeks, then you should follow inverted C style as it will move from your cheeks to temples, offering a more chiselled look.

Match Your Lipstick With Glasses

Just like you do not go bold with both lips and eyes, in the same way, you must not go bold with bright frames and bright shades of lipstick, as this will clash so badly. If you want to wear dark shades on your lips, add neutral shades of frames and vice versa. Never forget to disinfect your eyeglasses.

It’s a Wrap

Just like applying makeup with glasses is important, it is equally important to remove debris of dirt and makeup particles from the eyeglasses, especially the lenses. This is necessary to avoid the chances of the occurrence of eye infection in the future. You can use a good quality glasses cleaner like and designer microfibre cloth from Specscart that easily removes the stains, dirt, muck, oil, and makeup particles from the lenses as well as the frames.
