Makeup tips for those who wear glasses


By adding some simple steps to your makeup, you can noticeably improve the radiance of your face, even when wearing glasses that may hide some facial and makeup details. So, today in Dalili Medical, we will provide you with important tips that should be taken into account when applying makeup for women who wear glasses.

Tips to facilitate applying makeup when wearing glasses:

 

. **Use a magnifying mirror** Good vision is one of the main challenges when applying makeup before wearing glasses. To facilitate this process, use a magnifying mirror so that you can see the details of your makeup clearly.

. **Choose brushes with a short handle** The longer the brush handle, the more difficult it is to apply makeup. Given the difficulty of applying eye makeup, using brushes with a short handle can make a big difference in the accuracy and cleanliness of the application. This will help you have better control while applying makeup.

. **Use a fixing spray** Makeup around the eye area tends to sweat a little when wearing frames. To avoid this problem, use a setting spray after finishing applying makeup to ensure it stays in place all day long.

**How ​​to Apply Makeup to Look Beautiful with Glasses**

 

- **Applying Eyeshadow**If you wear nearsighted glasses, it is preferable to use dark and shiny eyeshadow colors to make your eyes appear larger. However, if you wear farsighted glasses, light colors will be the best choice to make your eyes appear smaller. Be careful not to overdo your eye makeup, as this may negatively affect your overall appearance.

- **Applying Eyeliner**The larger the frame of the glasses, the thicker and clearer the eyeliner line should be, and vice versa. Remember that bright colors will appear more clearly behind the frame, so it is preferable to stay away from traditional black eyeliner. Here are the steps for applying eyeliner for beginners:

- If you are a beginner, start by drawing dots on the upper eyelid along the lash line, then connect them.

- Apply eyeliner in a thin line along the upper lash area, starting from the inside out, making sure that the line ends at the end of the lashes only. To increase the density of the lashes, you can redraw the first line.

### - How to apply mascara **It is believed that mascara is not suitable for women who wear glasses, as it can cause the eyelashes to break when they come into contact with the glass. However, this belief is incorrect, as mascara can enhance your look and highlight the beauty of your eyes if you follow the correct method in applying it. The secret lies in curling your lashes before applying mascara, and waiting for it to dry before putting on the glasses, and you will notice how it adds a wonderful touch to your look!

- Use an eyelash curler after heating it with a hair dryer to curl your lashes.

- Apply mascara to all lashes in the usual way.

- Use a clean brush to comb the lashes.

**- How to draw eyebrows ** Make sure to visit a beautician to get the eyebrow shape that suits your facial features and the glasses frame you wear. Comb your eyebrows before leaving the house in the morning, and check them from time to time throughout the day.

**- How to apply lipstick**Choose a bold and attractive lipstick to highlight your lips, and follow that with soft eye makeup. Avoid using strong colors for both the eyes and the lips at the same time! Here are the steps to apply lipstick:

1. Exfoliate your lips to get rid of dead skin and cracks. Apply the scrub to your lips and massage gently in circular motions for a few minutes.

2. Since cracks may appear more clearly when applying lipstick, make sure to moisturize your lips with lip balm. This step will help reduce the appearance of cracks over the lipstick and give you soft lips.

3. Define your lips, starting by drawing an X in the middle of the upper lip, then connecting it to the edges. Define the lower lip in the usual way, then draw three lines: one in the middle and two on the sides.

4. Fill in the gaps using a lip liner. This step will help to set the lipstick and enhance its color even more.

5. Apply the dry lipstick to your entire lips, then use a tissue between your lips to remove any excess.

6. Next, apply a glossy lipstick in the middle of the lips, then use your fingers to pat the two colors together, giving you a soft and simple touch of shine.

7. Don't forget to apply highlighter in the middle of the lips to highlight the light.

**How ​​to apply blusher according to the shape of the face**

 

Face shapes differ from one woman to another, which requires the use of various makeup techniques to achieve an attractive look. Therefore, it is important to follow certain steps when applying makeup.

- **For an oval face**: Apply blusher from the beginning of the cheek towards the perimeter of the face in a horizontal line.

- **For a heart-shaped face**: Apply blusher only at the beginning of the cheek near the nose.

- **For a long face**: Apply blusher between the eye and the cheekbone, i.e. directly on the bone.

- **For a square face**: Apply blush only to the "apple of the cheek".

- **For a round face**: Apply blush to the bottom of the cheek, specifically between the jawbone and the bottom of the cheek.

**How ​​to choose sunglasses according to your face shape**

 

- **For a round face**: It is preferable to choose square or rectangular glasses.

- **For a heart-shaped face**: It is recommended to choose aviators.

- **For a square face**: It is preferable to choose round or oval glasses.

- **For a long face**: It is recommended to choose butterfly glasses.

- **For an oval face**: All shapes of glasses suit it.

**Tips to follow when applying makeup while wearing glasses**

 

**Applying makeup foundation correctly** Wearing glasses can affect the makeup base, leaving marks on the sides of the nose. To avoid this, it is preferable to use a light primer that smooths the skin and increases the adhesion of the foundation to it. It is important to choose products with a liquid texture that give a natural look. For the nose and around its wings, it is recommended to apply the foundation on the back of the hand before applying it to the skin to avoid cracking the frames.Furthermore, in the T-zone and the sides of the nose where oils accumulate, it is preferable to use a powder to fix the foundation. This can be done by taking a small amount of powder using the hand and applying it evenly on the glass nose pad. This method helps reduce the side effects of glasses and prevents makeup from slipping off the skin.

**Focus on eye makeup** When wearing glasses to treat myopia, it is important to note that this condition may make the skin around the eyes look dull and lifeless. Therefore, makeup is used in this case to highlight the eyes and highlight their beauty. In general, it is preferable to use a concealer in a color lighter than the skin color, as this effectively helps to hide dark circles, and this step also enhances the stability of eye shadow colors. When choosing eye shadow colors, it is recommended to start with light colors as a base, then use a darker color at the corner of the eye to add depth to the look. In addition, a thin eyeliner applied near the lash line is an important element, as it helps define the eye contour without affecting its natural appearance. Don't forget to apply mascara to the upper and lower lashes, as it adds an attractive touch that makes the eyes appear wider.

**Avoid thick or bold eyebrows** As is known, eyebrows play a fundamental role in balancing facial features, especially when wearing glasses. Therefore, instead of adopting thick or bold eyebrow styles, it is preferable to adjust the shape of the eyebrows using pencils or correctors designated for this purpose, in addition to using mascara in natural colors to shape the eyebrows appropriately. It is important to note that neatly and softly trimmed eyebrows enhance overall elegance and help achieve balance and harmony between the facial features and the eye area.

**The importance of the blush application technique** Blush contributes to giving the face a fresher and brighter appearance. It is recommended to apply it from the area directly below the swelling, then pull it horizontally towards the ears with a slight bypass of the temples. It is important to note that this method not only gives the face a youthful appearance, but also creates a tightening effect, making the face appear thinner and more attractive. We can also use highlighter pens in some areas such as the upper part of the cheekbones, the forehead, and the middle of the bridge of the nose, which helps to highlight the facial features and add a special glow, especially under the lights.

**Give priority to natural lipstick colors** When using strong and prominent makeup in the eye area, it is preferable to avoid using very dark lipstick, in order to achieve a better balance in the appearance of the face. In this case, you can rely on light lipstick colors such as earthy pink or nude shades, as these options are ideal and give you a natural and fresh look without making your makeup look heavy. If you want to have fuller lips, you can use a lip liner, which not only helps to correct lip line defects, but also enhances the color of the lipstick to appear more pronounced and lasts all day.

• **Maintaining balance**: When wearing glasses, it is necessary to achieve a suitable balance between eye makeup and the frame of the glasses. If the frame of the glasses is bold and attracts attention, it is preferable to choose more moderate eye makeup to avoid exaggeration. If the frame is simple or transparent, you can experiment with bold eye makeup looks more freely.

• **Special colors for nearsightedness or farsightedness**: When applying eye makeup, you should pay close attention to details. If you wear glasses for nearsightedness, your eyes may appear smaller behind the lenses, so it is preferable to use light shades to give a wider appearance. Conversely, in the case of farsightedness, where the eyes appear larger, using dark shades helps to balance the appearance.

• **The magic of eyeliner**: Winged kohl is a traditional eye makeup technique, and it wonderfully enhances the look of glasses. A thin, light line on the outer corner of the eyes can add a touch of elegance and give the eyes a more defined and expressive appearance behind the frames.

• **Focus on the eyelashes**: Mascara plays an important role in making a noticeable difference. It works to define and lift your eyelashes beautifully, making your eyes appear more prominent behind the frames. Choose a mascara that gives your eyelashes length or thickness to add a dramatic touch to your look without clumping.

• **Avoid smudging**: To prevent eye makeup from transferring to your glasses, use long-wearing makeup products and set your makeup with a light layer of translucent powder. It is also preferable to choose smudge-proof and waterproof eyeliner and mascara to maintain a fresh look throughout the day.

. **Use a nose primer** If you wear glasses, you know that they may slide down the bridge of your nose. To avoid this, apply a little eyeshadow primer (instead of foundation) to that area to fix the glasses and prevent them from slipping.

**Myopia** In general, people with myopia are able to see close objects more clearly, which makes it easier for them to apply makeup in front of the mirror. Therefore, glasses may not affect their ability in this aspect. However, glasses may make your eyes appear smaller, so it is a good idea to use eye makeup that helps them appear larger. It is preferable to avoid using too many dark colors that may close your eyes, and instead, it is recommended to apply techniques that open your eyes and highlight their beauty.

**Farsightedness**People with farsightedness often have difficulty seeing close objects, which makes them need stronger magnifying mirrors to apply makeup properly. As a result, they may choose to wear less makeup. Since glasses can make your eyes look larger, it’s important to ensure that your makeup is well blended and that your mascara is not clumpy, so that mistakes are not more noticeable.

**Color, size, and shape of glasses**The color, size, and shape of the frames also affect your makeup choicesK. If the frame color is prominent, it will draw attention to your eyes, while if it is less prominent, you may need to use more eye makeup to draw attention to your eyes.
