Makeup Tips for Eyeglass Wearers

What is the fastest way to get beauty? Just add fabulous eyeglasses!  Have all the frame fun, but here's one major oversight we neglect: how lenses distort or exaggerate mature eyes and our eye makeup goofs and gaffes. Here are important tips to keep your look specs-tacular.

1. Frame color 

Whether your frame is classic or trendy, choose a color that looks good but works hard. Black, tortoiseshell, dark navy, burgundy or charcoal define and strengthen aging eyes like instant eyeliner. Soft taupe, gray and tan have a gentle sculpting effect and can chisel cheekbones or slim faces, kind of like contour makeup. Sheer or opaque frames in pink, rose, honey or amber brighten dull, ashy, fatigued or pasty complexions like instant blush. But while attention-getting frames in bright red, turquoise or multicolor combos are memorable, they can be overpowering.

2. Farsighted

Your glasses magnify so that eyes look bigger (a bonus for small eyes!), but they also magnify crepey lids, circles, puffiness, and sloppy or overdone makeup. Get a dual-side 10-times amplification mirror that swivels from supersized to normal. It will improve your makeup skills, and keep application precise and blending airbrush perfect. No more smears, smudges, messy liner and gloppy lashes. Lucky you: You really can go all out, and do the smokiest eyes or line your lower lash line's inner and outer rim for emphasis.

3. Nearsighted

No matter how luminous and large your real-life eyes are, behind the lenses they look smaller. If your eyes are deep set or hooded, that's double trouble. They can appear sunken, almost invisible. Black eyeliner saves the day, but be sure to match liner thickness to frame thickness. Do a thinner tight line with skinny frames (concentrating liner as close as possible to lash roots), and do a thicker liner with more substantial frames. Learn to line the under rim of upper lashes to fill the gap and power up eye shape. Keep lid shadow in a soft, shimmery sand or peach shade rather than a dark or matte one that closes up the eyes. Try lining the lower waterline with nude or ivory to open up your eyes even more.

4. Wear progressive or multifocal lenses

Your glasses combine two or three different prescriptions in a single lens. They are convenient, but this means your eye makeup has to be multitalented, too. Skip the very dark smoky look and go for a light and neutral contoured eye. With a light touch, blend a shimmery light shadow across lids, a medium brown or taupe (depending on your skin tone) in the crease and just above the socket, with gel liner pencil in black, charcoal or dark brown worked into the upper lash line for shape.

5. The bigger the frame, the more eye makeup ... or not

Love to play with eye-makeup looks and palettes? The extra window space is your gallery. Are you a makeup minimalist who wears concealer, liner and mascara? Go big! But be sure you have enough face to balance the large-frame proportions, and keep the frame thin.

6. The smaller and more delicate the frame, the lighter your eye makeup

Try tinted lenses in very pale 10-percent blue, rose, mauve or lavender lenses in order to disguise under-eye puffiness or circles. Pastel gradient lenses give eyes makeup-like emphasis on top. It's an indoor trend more women are loving now — and the super-light tint doesn't look sunglass-like inappropriate in a work or home setting.

7.  Prep your face for all-day wear

All frames, but especially large or heavy ones, can leave red marks or indentations on your nose and cheeks. Apply primer precisely where glasses rest. If your skin is oily or hot-flash sweaty, try an oil-absorbing foundation in spots, and powder the bridge of your nose to keep glasses from slipping down.

8. Use eye cream and concealer

Skin around the eyes changes with age and becomes thinner and drier. To add to that, all eyeglass frames cast shadows under the eyes, and lenses can exaggerate lined skin texture and discolorations. The solution? Mix a warm yellow-based concealer with a dab of super-emollient eye cream, and starting right under the eyes at the lash line, blend in a half-circle. Be sure to get the tiny-divot tear trough and inner-eye corner along your nose. Check your magnifying mirror and keep dabbing until all edges are feathered into skin.

9. 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.

10. Emphasize brows to frame your frames

Glasses frame your eyes, but your brows frame your glasses. Most frames "seat" brows just above them. Brush brows up and trim extra length, then tweeze away tail hairs that curve downward (dragging the eyes down) as well as stubble or random hairs now visible in lenses. Then use a combo of pencil and brow powder to fill spaces, add missing tails and extend brows out. If your brows are in good shape, just brush through with a brow gel wand to control and set wiry hairs.

How Often should you replace glasses?

Many of us go for years at a time without considering changing out our glasses because we doggedly believe that we can still see perfectly with our old lenses. While you may not have noticed or realized it, your old eyeglasses may be working against you, causing undue eyestrain or fatigue. But how often should we replace our glasses, and why? Listen to the Advice of Your Optometrist Your glasses should be replaced when your optometrist recommends that they should be. This usually will occur in tandem with your regular eye exam. The American Optometric Association recommends that non-senior adults and children over age 6 have regular eye exams a minimum of once every two years if they do not have risk factors for poor vision. Seniors over age 60 and individuals with risk factors should have an eye exam every year, or more frequently if recommended by their doctor.
