Choose the Right eye shadow.

Eye shadow plays a significant role in your appearance with glasses, it is able to make your eyes look fresher. Eye shadow should be applied in a thin line placed right above the eyeliner and should not exceed the length of the eye. Use neutral colors such as brown or beige if the frames of your glasses are colorful or bright.

If you want to choose another color of eye shadow, such as, pink, green, blue, and so forth, place it at the middles then moving out toward the corners of the eyes; again make sure you apply this too in a thin line, to avoid making your eyes look too busy. African American women with medium to dark skin tones are cautioned to stay away from cream eye shadows that have a silver or white talc base. These eye shadows will give their eye area an ashen look.

Thin eyeliner

Through glasses your eyes will appear larger as will any make up that is applied to them. If the eyeliner just outlines the eyes and is applied in thin lines on both the upper and lower areas of the eyes the effect will be quite stunning.

Natural eyebrows

When grooming your eyebrows keep them looking natural. If you need to fill in spaces among the hairs in the eyebrows, cover scars in the eyebrows or if you just want to add a little more definition, use a pencil to sparingly fill in the eyebrows where you feel it is needed. Your eyebrows should always be made to look natural. Do not apply color too thickly, and always use a slightly lighter shade of pencil then you think you need, dark brown will usually look more natural on caucasian women than jet black.

Soft lipstick

Select a light-colored lipstick, so that the distance between the eyes and lips does not appear to be too short. If using lip liner be sure to keep the lines soft, and finally, add lip gloss for a fresh look.Out of date eyeglassesJust because your eyeglass prescription hasn't changed doesn't mean the style of your glasses doesn't need to change. thick rimmed glasses are out.
