How to wear makeup, Highlight our features without overloading them: this operation can be tricky when you wear glasses! We have retained three professional tips to meet the challenge brilliantly.
HOW TO WEAR MAKEUP, PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO CONCEALER
As the glasses’ frame accentuates the shadow under the eye, we first reduce our dark circles. We turn to a fluid and hydrating product that will blend well with our skin and preserve its natural texture.
To obtain the best possible effect, we make sure to moisturize the contour of our eyes (and let the product penetrate well!) before applying the concealer: our base canvas will be smoother. We also take the time to set the formula with a translucent powder, which will prevent it from running under the frame.
HOW TO WEAR MAKEUP WITH BRIGHTENING OUR EYES
Hidden behind glasses, our gaze can be darkened. Add luminosity by applying a touch of light shadow to the inner corner of the eye and opposite the iris, top, and bottom.
We also keep our hand light with the pencil; otherwise, it will weigh down the mobile eyelid: A thin line inside the eye, on the upper mucosa, is enough. As for mascara, we choose a volumizing and water-resistant formula because we don’t want our eyelashes to hit the glass of our glasses or stain our lenses.

It is best not to touch the lower eyelid, where makeup can easily create too much shadow.
HOW TO WEAR MAKEUP and WORK ON EYEBROWS AND COMPLEXION
We hesitate to make up our eyebrows, for fear of making our features too severe. You don’t have to! With or without glasses, working eyebrows balance the makeup.
The key is to highlight them without accentuating them too much and to harmonize their line with that of our frame. We therefore remove the excess hairs below their natural line, then fill them in—without applying too much pressure!—with a pencil or powder close to their natural shade.
Another ally not to be neglected: blush. By playing on the volumes, it can counterbalance the “weight” generated by glasses on the upper part of the face.
Simply apply the majority of the color to the side of the cheek, then move slightly up towards the temple. We also make sure to blend it well and avoid overly pronounced tints, especially if the frame of our glasses is already thick or colored.
Our eyes can take on a different appearance depending on the type of lenses we wear. If you are nearsighted, for example, they will seem smaller; you will then have to rely on eye shadow to make them larger and handle the pencil with care. On the contrary, if you are presbyopic or farsighted, they will appear larger. It will then be particularly important to use makeup sparingly!
HOW TO APPLY EYE MAKEUP WHEN WEARING GLASSES
Often considered a constraint, glasses are essential for many of us. So the question is, how do you apply eye makeup when wearing glasses? How do you magnify the eyes, harmonize the complexion, and play with contrasts with corrective lenses?
Here are some tips for knowing how to show off and reconcile glasses and makeup.
Adapt eye makeup to your corrective lenses
What if the reason you can’t put on makeup well doesn’t come from the glasses, but from the makeup itself? Depending on your vision problems and the thickness of the glasses you wear, your eyes appear differently. It will therefore be necessary to adapt the makeup according to the different types of corrective lenses.
- If you are nearsighted, your eyes will inevitably look small; therefore, you need to do eye makeup to make your eyes look bigger.
- If you are farsighted, your eyes will appear larger, so you should not accentuate your eyes but rather your mouth.
Adapt makeup according to the type of glass frame
Another important thing to take into account for top makeup is the frame of the glasses.
- For thin, fairly discreet frames, you can afford to accentuate eye makeup while taking into account the type of corrective lenses.
- For thick frames, lighten eye makeup, favor light, and sober shades, and concentrate on the lips.
- For graphic frames, it’s like for thick frames; you shouldn’t overload the look because the frame is already dominant on your face. You can counterbalance it with a striking shade of lipstick.
How to apply your concealer if you wear glasses
After having worked on applying the foundation in the usual way, the procedure for applying the concealer is not quite the same: you have to go down to the nostril to create a zone of light on the central part of the face.
The tip: take one or two shades lighter than your foundation.
Myopic or hyperopic, choose the makeup pencil
The eye pencil is something that we don’t always know how to choose when we wear glasses.
- If you are nearsighted: avoid eye pencils that are too dark, as they will close your eyes and make them look more narrow.
- If you are presbyopic: you can play with color gradients and darken the outer part of your eye.
- If you have astigmatism: the trick lies in intensifying the contour of the eye by redrawing it with a pencil.
- Dress your eyelids when wearing prescription glasses
We tend to skip eyeshadow when we wear glasses, even though it is important in our makeup routine. The only thing is that eye shadows should never clash with your glasses.
We apply a light color from the edge of the eyelashes to the eyebrows and put an intermediate color on top of the mobile eyelid. Again, it all depends on the mount:
- If your frame is discreet: opt for a soft shade.
- If your frames are colored: dare to go for a more intense shade.
And, in any case, always add black eyeliner and mascara.
Glasses wearers, don’t run away from mascara!
Are you afraid of the Dalmatian effect on your pretty glasses? The solution is to choose a volumizing mascara rather than a lengthening one, but above all, it must be waterproof.
Miracle: no more stains on your lenses throughout the day.
The other tip is to curl your eyelashes with an eyelash curler so that they do not touch the glass of your glasses.
A perfect eyebrow line
Above all, your eyebrow line should not be broken by the frame of your glasses. You must therefore carefully pluck your eyebrows according to the shape of your face and take the frame into account. You should therefore not hesitate to ask your beautician for advice if you do not do it yourself.
A touch of pink to the cheeks
When wearing glasses, you should not skip makeup on the cheekbones, which not only enhances the complexion but also restructures the face. A little touch of blush going up towards the temples and that’s it!
What lip makeup goes with my glasses?
When it comes to eye makeup with glasses, lip color should not be neglected. The eye makeup, even if it is accentuated, has remained rather soft, so do not hesitate to focus on the lips. Simply apply lipstick in a vibrant shade—a bright red or, why not, a plum shade?

How to Wear Makeup When Wearing Glasses?
Make nice makeup when we wear glasses; it is possible. Still, it is necessary to know how to emphasize the importance of correction. So shelookbook.com decided to play the makeup artist to give you the keys to making successful makeup even when wearing glasses.
Eye makeup when wearing glasses
Depending on the viewing problems you have, and the glasses you wear, the eyes appear differently. If you are short-sighted, then your eyes will inevitably look small. On the other hand, if you are hypermetropic, your eyes will look bigger.
The result, in the first case (if you have myopia), is to just make eye makeup to enlarge the look. A line of adapted liner and hop, the turn is played!
If you are hypermetropic, however, it is advisable not to accentuate the look but rather to apply pronounced makeup on the mouth. Then some passages of mascara adapted to the nature of your eyelashes and that’s it.
Put on make-up when you have glasses: one pilates her eyebrows to the hair!
They are the ones who structure the face, even when wearing glasses.
So be careful to depilate them, and restructure the line with an eyebrow pencil adapted to your natural color for a perfectly harmonious set.
Makeup when you have glasses: you get a complexion with zero defects.
Because it is essential to have a skin-zero defect when one has glasses of sight, one does not ignore the following:
- The concealer: since glasses for hyperopia have a “loupe” effect, be careful to camouflage the dark circles.
So we think of using a product that holds for a long time!
- The blush: it is also an indispensable make-up when we wear glasses.
Since the frame comes to rest just above the cheekbones, it is necessary to apply a touch of blush to restructure the face but also give a “good-looking” effect to the whole make-up.
Makeup when you have glasses: make a perfect mouth.
Since the upper part of the face is already at the center of attention, especially with the glasses, it is very important to rebalance this harmony by making perfect make-up of the mouth!
To do this, it is necessary to outline the lips with a pencil of the same color as the red that you will use.
- If you with light skin, choose instead a raspberry or orange lipstick.
- If you have darker skin, in this case, a red carmine will make you delighted.
With a perfectly drawn mouth and a dressed look: you will be at the top of your beauty!
