1. Frame the Face with Makeup and Glasses
Adding glasses and makeup to your look can help to complete the frame of your face and define your style. With the right combination of makeup and eyeglasses, your face will appear more balanced and symmetrical. Here are some easy tips for choosing the right makeup and eyeglass frames to bring out your best features.
- Choose frames that fit your face size: Look for frames that fit your face width and height. Avoid frames that are too small as they won’t flatter your face shape.
- Opt for neutral colors: If you’re going for a softer look, choose frames in neutral colors like beige, gray, and brown. Colored frames can work as well, but go for colors that complement your skin tone.
- Match your eye makeup: Create a balanced look by highlighting your eyes with makeup that matches your frames. For a dramatic look, try smoky eyes using eyeshadows in shades that match the hue of your frames.
- Accentuate your cheeks: Define your cheekbones with a light blush. Be sure to blend the blush well with a soft brush for a natural glow.
These simple tips will ensure that your glasses and makeup help to create a beautiful frame for your face. With the right frames and the perfect makeup, you can bring out the natural beauty of your face shape.
2. Makeup Tips to Enhance Your Features Behind Frames
Finding the Perfect Balance
Having glasses can be a great asset in any look, but they also require a little extra attention when it comes to makeup. Here are our top tips to maximize your features and create the perfect “framed” look.
- Start with a primer – a great base is essential for smooth and flawless makeup.
- If you’re going for a natural look, go for warm and earthy tones to naturally bring out your eye colour.
Avoid applying heavy eyeliners, they can make your eyes look too dark or abstract behind the frames. To bring out your eyes, opt for a slightly shaded eye shadow and slightly smudging of eyeliner on the corners. Keep it subtle and soft.
- To create definition and contour, use a matte bronzer to frame your face. Blend it in your temples, cheeks and chin.
- Avoid using dark and deep lip colours as they can look too overpowering behind your glasses. Instead, use light colored lip balms to create a naturally beautiful lip.
Make sure to play up the rest of your features, such as your eyebrows which should look full and natural, and your cheeks, which you can bring natural colour to with a hint of cream blush.
3. Perfect the Brows for Maximum Impact
Pay attention to your brows! They are like the frame to your face and can have a huge impact on your look. Whether you choose to do it yourself or go to a professional, here are a few tips to ensure you get it just right.
- Choose Correct Brow Shape
- It is important to choose the correct brow shape. Too thin or too thick brows can make all the difference.
When it comes to finding the perfect shape, always remember that brows should be balanced. Too much on one side can be overpowering. Check your brows in the middway and create an arch that is neither too high nor too low — just the right balance.
- Start By Plucking the Sparse Hairs
- Before beginning to make adjustments to your brows, take a look and note any sparse patches. Carefully pluck only the hairs that are sticking out and make sure to keep the hairs across from each other in line.
Do not over pluck or you might end up with thinner or uneven brows. Once the sparse hairs are taken care of, you can start dealing with the excess hairs on the brow.
4. Line and Define with Colorful Eye Makeup
Colored eye makeup is a great way to bring life to your eyes and captivate the room. There are plenty of different techniques you can use to line and define with an explosion of color!
Choose Your Colors
Choose one or two shades and create a captivating combination. Bright blues, purples, and greens are a popular trend right now, but your favorite shades can be anything you want. With color, you’re able to create something dynamic and truly unique.
Experiment With Eyeliner
If you’ve never used eyeliner before, it’s best to practice until you get the perfect look. Once you’ve conquered the basics, introduce a colored eyeliner into the mix. Rich dramatic hues can deliver rich pigmentation and make your eyes seemingly
pop off the page.
Give Your Look Dimension
Put aside your typical everyday eye look and add layers to your eyeliner. Defining your upper lash line with an angled liner, followed by a brighter shade buffed through your lower lash line, can give your look more texture and depth.
- Incorporate different colors
- Experiment with eyeliner
- Create subtle wings
- Give it an extra pop of color
By adding a hint of color to your eyes, you can achieve a captivating, professional look. Plus, with so many shades and options to choose from, you can create whatever look you want. Adding colorful eye makeup to your makeup routine can really bring your look together and make you stand out in a crowd!
5. Make Your Lips Pop Behind Glasses
Glasses are a great accessory to have for your everyday look, but don’t forgetto glam up it! Show off your sassy side with a bold lip color that will make your eyes pop and your lips even more atrractive.
- To keep your lipstick on your lips, not the apex of your glasses, start with outlining your lips with a pencil shade that matches your lipstick. This will help to make your color last longer.
- Go for matte shades if you don’t want a too-glossy look. They are less likely to move and they won’t reflect light and shine through the glasses.
- Don’t forget about your cheeks! To further emphasize your lips, go for a light blush that will complement your lipstick’s shade.
Stay within nude/light pink shades: Although you might be tempted to go with bold burgundies, fuchsias and even yellows, those colors will reflect on the glasses. Instead, go with more subtle shades that won’t be so glarely visible to people looking at you from behind.
And you are ready to rock your glasses with an attention-grabbing lip look!
