Eyeglasses have really come into their own as a chic fashion statement. But here's one major oversight we neglect: how lenses distort or exaggerate mature eyes and our eye makeup goofs and gaffes. Here are 5 tips to keep your look specs-tacular.
1. You can go bolder with eye make up than you'd expect.
"My biggest suggestion: go bolder on the eye makeup! I was so frustrated looking at pictures and trying different eye makeup things out, working so hard on them, then putting on my glasses and seeing it all disappear.
You can go a lot bolder if you have glasses (particularly thick, plastic frames ) which is actually a blessing in its own way. Or if you want a more muted eye, go for a bold lip. I think there's something really striking about the split between dark frames and bright lips." - Molly Jane Sisson via Facebook
2.Use a volumizing, thickening mascara in black
Glasses require curling your lashes and choosing a thickening or volumizing formula, not a lengthening one. You don't want lashes swatting your lenses! Use the opposite hand to lift the lid by placing one fingertip on the brow bone. This enables you to get as close as possible to the roots of your upper lashes. Wiggle the wand back and forth in place for the thickest deposit of mascara (black for the most eye power), right at the base of the lashes, before rolling out the wand — still wiggling in a zigzag motion — to the tips where you want the least mascara. It makes all the difference.

3. Play around with bottom eyeliner
Never apply liner to your lower lash line? It’s time to start! Doing so is a great way to really make your eyes pop with glasses—sometimes it pays to get creative! All you have to do is lightly line your lower lash line straight across, or—if you’re feeling daring—you can draw a reverse cat eye that will add extra flair to your look. With a reverse cat eye, the wing should face the inner corner of your eye.
4.To prevent foundation and concealer from sticking to your frames, begin with matte moisturizer and finish with setting spray.
lasses-wearers who use facial cosmetics like foundation and concealer are all too familiar with the tendency of these formulas to smear against and stick to frames. If your makeup causes your glasses to slip and slide down the bridge of your nose — an annoying and all-too-common occurrence.
Because makeup can become greasy and glasses can slide down the nose, you can use a matte moisturizer on the bridge of the nose to prevent oil formation.
5. Balance the look with a bold lip
Glasses draw immediate focus to your eye area, so if you're interested in a balanced makeup motif, you'll want to add a pop of color to your face's lower half. The easiest way to do that? Swipe on a bright and concentrated lip color.
"A bold lip makes a serious statement whether you have glasses or not, but the pairing of glasses and a bright lip just reads impossibly chic," says Minneapolis makeup artist Hillary Kline.
