Makeup tips for glasses wearers

Use a magnifying mirror

Applying eye makeup without your glasses isn't exactly easy. That's why using a magnifying mirror helps you apply your eye makeup neatly and precisely.

Minus prescription? Go for eyeliner

If you have a minus prescription, your glasses can make your eyes appear smaller. Luckily, there are many ways to make your eyes look bigger. One of these is using eyeliner to make your eyes appear larger. When you draw a line along your upper lash line, your eyes will seem more open.

Plus prescription? Go for smokey eyes

If you have a plus prescription, your glasses can make your eyes appear larger. A 'smokey eye' is a perfect solution. This makeup technique creates a sultry, mysterious effect and is perfect for this festive season.

A radiant gaze

Applying mascara to both your upper and lower lashes creates an open look. Gently wiggling the brush back and forth distributes the mascara evenly over your lashes. Just be careful not to apply too much mascara to your upper lashes, otherwise you risk them touching your glasses.

Last but not least: the eyebrows

Even though you wear glasses, your eyebrows are often still clearly visible. So make sure your eyebrows are well-groomed and neatly plucked. You can also make your eyebrows a bit darker, which creates a contrasting and powerful effect.
