Applying makeup can be a daunting task when you rely on your glasses to see yourself clearly in
the mirror or need to pay close attention to detail. However, with a few tips and tricks, you can
ensure your makeup application is flawless, even with your specs on. Here’s how to master your
makeup routine when you wear glasses.
Tools to Help You Apply Makeup
Magnifying Mirrors
Investing in a good magnifying mirror can make all the difference. These mirrors can magnify your
reflection, allowing you to see the finer details without needing to lean too close to your regular
mirror.
Makeup Magnifying Glasses
Makeup magnifying glasses are another fantastic tool. These glasses have one magnified lens that
flips over (like ready readers you can buy them off the shelf), enabling you to switch between
seeing clearly and applying makeup with precision.
Shaving Mirrors
Shaving mirrors, often found in bathrooms, can also be useful. These mirrors typically have a
magnified side and can be adjusted to different angles, providing a closer view of your face.
Makeup Ideas to Complement Your Glasses
Matching Eyeshadow, Blusher, or Lipstick
Matching your makeup to your glasses can create a cohesive and polished look. For instance, if
your frames are a bold colour, consider using complementary shades in your eyeshadow, blusher,
or lipstick.
Frame and Makeup Pairing Ideas
- Cat Eye Frames: Pair bold cat eye frames with red or pink tone lips and minimal contouring to
achieve a chic rockabilly look. - Round Metal Frames: Choose round metal frames in rose or yellow gold and match them with
a bold lip colour and highlighted cheeks for a glam geek look. Wear your hair up to complete
this stylish ensemble. - Tinted Glasses: Feeling lazy? Opt for glasses with a graduated light tint. This can replace the
need for eyeshadow and create a thoughtfully put-together look with minimal effort.
