Today’s post is all about providing the answers to your beauty concerns. One of the most common concern I get from my readers is tips on how to make your eyes stand out when wearing glasses.

For those that wear glasses it can be difficult sometimes for people to see past the glasses to the pretty eyes behind. There are a few simple steps that can be done to lessen the effect of glasses.

Firstly try to get as small, streamlined pair of spectacles as possible. There are many shapes and sizes available in shops like Specsavers now that almost minimise the idea that you’re wearing glasses at all.

The model above is the rimless 117 design available on the website. As you can see the lenses are pretty much transparent, and only the arms are visible.

Once you’ve decided on the right glasses the next step is to experiment with your makeup to make your eyes stand out as much as possible behind your spectacles. Many people believe you should match your eyeshadow to your eye colour but this is a common misconception. To make your eyes pop when wearing glasses, there needs to be a contrast of colours.

Blue eyes should wear colours like Mocha brown
Green eyes purple or green
Brown eyes silver or purple
Hazel eyes differ according to the intensity of the hazel shade. If you have green hazel eyes try purple or green, if you have brown hazel eyes try purple and finally if you have gold hazel eyes try dark grey

You should finish your eyeshadow off with a glittery eyeliner that slightly contrasts with the eyeshadow you applied. For example with pink eyeshadow try a sparkly purple, the juxtaposition of colours will attract attention to eye area in a good way.

Try to keep the rest of your makeup as natural as possible; for example neutral foundation, lips and a warm blush colour. That way people’s eyes will be drawn instantly to your eye area but they will no longer be looking at your glasses, they’ll be seeing how pretty your eyes are for the first time. With these tips applying makeup when wearing glasses will be a breeze.
