MAKE-UP with eyeglasses… Why not?


MAKE-UP with eyeglasses… Why not?
-

It is common belief that eyewear may compromise the look and charm of one’s eyes. Well, that's not true at all!

A natural, sophisticated and carefully chosen make-up will make your eyes look awesome even with frames around them!

And if all this does not make any sense, keep on reading to discover all the secrets!

First of all, avoid to combine your make-up with your eyeglasses if the frame is thick or brightly coloured: do not use the same colour for eyeshadow. The lighter and more neutral the make-up, the better: choose nude, beige, sandy, light grey or soft pink, ivory or honey nuances, the offer is so vast!

If you like to dare, just make sure to combine the right colours: the eyeshadow and the eyeliner can be in contrast with the colour of the frame, creating that WOW effect that we all want to obtain!
If your glasses are brown, why not using a green, blue or bronze eye make-up? It will give your looks that special tone!

But, if you want to maintain the same nuance of your eyeglasses, then choose a shade or two lighter than your frames so that your liner and shadow don’t get lost in the big picture. Are your glasses black? Then grey is your colour, in all the versions it can be found (and there are so many of them that you won’t be disappointed!)

Special attention must be paid on glittery eyeshadows. Refrain from using them as the shiny effect is also emphasized by the lenses. If your prescription is high, the lenses will tend to make your eyes look smaller. Don’t panic! Just avoid dark eyeliners or thick kajals and go for pearlescent eyeshadows and soft-tone liners that will brighten your eyes up!

When you wear glasses, your eye make-up is slightly hidden by your frames. This is the right time to highlight your lips. Guaranteed by Shiseido’s Makeup Specialist Pablo Adrizzone!

Therefore, keep in mind that if your frames are either bold or colourful or in any way important, your lips’ make-up can:

  • recall the colour of the eyeglasses;
  • contrast them: in this case go for a completely different colour. If for example the frame is green, then red will be perfect on your lips. If it is yellow, an orange nuance is what you need. If it’s blue, then the right lipstick will be a nude or brownish one while for black or white frames the choice is on you!

You don’t have to give up on your eye make-up if you wear eyeglasses. It's just about slightly adapting it to your frames! Go forth and enjoy it, because at the end of the day it's just make-up, and make-up is supposed to be fun!
