Makeup and Glasses Advice
Hi. I wear glasses and am looking for some easy eye makeup tips that will accent my eyes without becoming too over the top or having to wear contacts. Is there any hope? Thanks.
Of course there's hope! I used to wear glasses, then contacts and then I had Lasik. But when I WAS in glasses, I simply applied my makeup in the same way as when I wore contacts. My advice is to always be natural but with a bit of depth. For example, if you have dark brown eyes, use a champagne shadow for your entire lid and use a deep plum or brown at the crease. Have fun with lining your eyes too by using liquid liner on top in dark brown (not black which looks too harsh) and a smudge of dark brown shadow along the bottom rim with a fine brush. If you have green, blue or hazel yes, try apricot for the lid with a deep grey or forest green or plum at the cease. Keep it simple with black mascara.
