Makeup tips for people with glasses

If you're generally modest with makeup during the year, these products are sure to come out more frequently during the end-of-year festive period. A bit of glittery eyeshadow, a nice eyeliner, a red lipstick, all help to make your mood even more festive.

However, the question often arises of how to apply makeup when wearing glasses, what to emphasize, and what to avoid instead. Let's now look at some tricks for this!

This is how to do your makeup if you wear glasses

Applying foundation and contouring the face isn't really influenced by glasses, except perhaps that it's worth applying a primer under liquid or creamy concealer products, then fixing the whole thing with powder to prevent the foundation from smudging where the frame touches the skin. Pay special attention to your temples, the area under your eyes, and your nose bridge.

Painting your eyes is another matter, where it's important to consider the shape and color of your glasses frame as well as the type of your lenses. The first two factors are entirely a matter of taste, for example, what shades you prefer to pair or whether you like a more contrasting result or prefer restraint. In terms of shape, make sure your makeup doesn't extend beyond the frame, as this can be too much with glasses. Follow the natural shape of your eyes and make sure the end result stays within the frame.

If you wear plus glasses...

try to emphasize your gaze more with lighter shades, as this lens reduces the size of your eyes. If the eye contour is too dark or the look is dramatically smokey, it will further compress your gaze and your eyes will simply get lost.

If your glasses are minus...

then you need to work in the opposite way, as the lens magnifies your eyes. This also means that you need to be precise because any makeup mistakes will unfortunately be magnified along with your eyes. If you're not confident, opt for soft lines instead of sharp ones!

And of course, regardless of your glasses, don't forget about your eyebrows, which are beautifully highlighted by the glasses frame. Always keep them gently arched and tidy!

Choose a beautiful glasses frame, highlight your eyes with a little sparkle, put on a red lipstick, and your perfect Christmas look is ready!
