For those who wear glasses regularly, one common problem is that their carefully applied makeup gets ruined as soon as they put on their glasses. Have you ever experienced any of these embarrassing situations with your makeup smudging or fading while wearing glasses?
Glasses frames obstructing eye makeup: Wearing glasses can affect the display of eye makeup, especially for smoky eye or shimmery eye looks. The glasses can divide the well-done makeup in half and even completely cover it.
Temperature difference between glasses and face affecting makeup: The temperature difference between the glasses and your face can cause smudging or fading of eye makeup, especially in hot summer days where sweat and oil can easily damage the eye makeup.
Glasses causing indentations on cheeks: Prolonged wear of glasses can create marks on the nose bridge and cheekbones, leading to makeup damage.
Lenses magnifying fine lines and dark circles around eyes: The lenses can magnify imperfections such as wrinkles and eye bags, requiring extra care when applying eye makeup to avoid heavy application or unnatural colors.
Eyebrows being covered by glasses: The frames of the glasses can block prominent eyebrows, so this should be considered when applying eyebrow makeup.
Don’t worry, today I’m going to share with you 10 super easy and useful tips to make your eye makeup last under glasses and make your overall look more stunning!
The power of a primer: Use a lightweight primer with hydrating ingredients before applying any eye products. It helps lock in moisture and creates a stable base for your makeup, making your eyeshadow, eyeliner, etc. last longer.
Eyeliner: Forget about the worry of translucent glasses highlighting imperfections. Instead, use a deep eyeliner to enhance your eyes. To make your eye makeup last, choose eyeliners that are specifically labeled as waterproof and smudge-proof. These products have high-quality formulas that make the eyeliner more long-lasting, without smudging due to friction from the glasses. Ensure that the eyeliner is thick enough and extend it, so it can be seen under the glasses and highlight your eyes.
Mascara for dramatic lashes: Since your eyes are like deep seas, let your eyelashes become a captivating feature. Use a volumizing mascara as the base layer, and then apply a lengthening mascara on top. This double-layer effect will make your eyelashes appear thicker, longer, and less prone to smudging.
Eyeshadow primer: Use a high-coverage concealer carefully on your eyelids. This helps cover dark circles and facial imperfections, preventing your eye makeup from fading. Apply an eyeshadow primer designed specifically for eyeshadows on your eyelids. It fills in fine lines and skin unevenness, making the eyeshadow easier to apply and more long-lasting.
Foundation: Makeup under glasses can be affected by friction from the glasses frames and resulting sweat. Apply a pre-makeup product or a moisturizing foundation on the nose bridge and cheekbone areas to ensure that the glasses will not create imprints on your face. Then, use a foundation pen to blend your skin tone gently, so that your flawless skin can be seen even under the glasses.
Setting blush: After applying blush, use a thin layer of loose or pressed powder to set it. This will help the blush adhere better to the skin and prolong the life of your makeup.
Indispensable eyebrow powder: Even if the glasses frames partially cover your eyebrows, they are still the finishing touch to your charming face. The makeup under glasses requires delicate eyebrows to balance the overall look. Use a soft-textured, easy-to-apply eyebrow powder to draw your desired eyebrow shape with an eyebrow brush. You can also use transparent eyebrow gel to set the eyebrows, making the eyebrow makeup more long-lasting. Who says you can’t show off your expressive eyebrows under glasses?
Lip primer: Apply a lip primer to prevent your lipstick from fading or smudging while wearing glasses. After priming, apply your favorite lipstick or lip gloss for a longer-lasting effect.
Use setting spray: After completing your makeup, lightly spray a setting spray. This will help your makeup last longer and prevent it from smudging due to friction from the glasses.
Brighten eye sockets with glitter eyeshadow: If you feel that your eyes look tired after wearing glasses for a long time, use a highlighting product with a pearl-like effect on your eye sockets or lower lash line. This will make your eye makeup more dimensional and instantly transform you into a captivating goddess.
These super easy and useful tips will make your makeup last without smudging under your glasses, while adding some fun and detail. After creating a bold yet comfortable eye makeup look, always make sure to thoroughly remove your makeup to maintain the comfort and health of your skin. Give them a try and let your eye makeup shine through the lenses!
