Makeup Tips for Glasses Wearers

Eyes
Depending on your diagnosis and glasses frames, there are two options for this one. If your eye glasses make your eyes appear larger, then it’s best to skip heavy eyeliner and dark shadows – talk about raccoon eyes! Likewise, if your eye glasses make your eyes appear smaller, this is vital too – skip the dark makeup! It will only make your eyes seem smaller and give a ’squinty’ look (been there, done that.)
Instead, try to keep your eyes looking naturally pretty, as they are! Sweep some light colored shadow on and then apply a thin line of eyeliner (liquid is wonderful, if not, pencil is best). After, apply mascara on your top lash line only. (Applying mascara on your bottom lash line could look like dark circles.)

Probably the best thing to do is this: keep your brows groomed. Your face looks instantly polished with groomed brows. Simply choose your eyebrow product of choice and fill in any sparse areas, leaving a nicely defined brow.
Lips
Anything goes with lips!
If all else fails, check out what some of these stars who wear glasses and what makeup looks they do.
In general, makeup should be natural looking (this look may be ideal). Like I said earlier, the general rule is to keep it simple because your glasses are already a big statement on your face!
Do you wear glasses? What type of makeup do you wear whilst wearing your glasses? Do you change anything about it from your ‘normal’ makeup?
Personally I do, when I wear my contacts anything goes but I find when I wear glasses everything is more natural, meaning I skip the eyeliner and instead load up on a bold lipcolor.
