1. Stay Neutral

Stay Neutral When you are an eyeglass wearer, you are super lucky because you can actually stay pretty neutral with your eye makeup. The reasoning behind this is that your bright colors won’t really be seen behind those fashionable eyeglasses.

2. Save Bright Bold Colors for Your Lips

Save Bright Bold Colors for Your Lips One of the top makeup tips for eyeglass wearers is to save those bright and bold colors for your lips! Want a pop of pink? Do it on your lips! What about some violet? Your lips! It’ll make all of the difference ladies!

3. Don't Be Scared to Use Mascara

Don't Be Scared to Use Mascara A lot of the makeup tips for eyeglass wearers that I read said mascara is bad and will stick against the lenses of your glasses – this is a myth. Mascara will only highlight your eyes and really bring them out from behind your glasses, so mascara it up!

4. Gel Liner

Gel Liner Gel liner is actually one of the best liners for eyeglass wearers – it’s also one of the top makeup tips for eyeglass wearers! Gel liner is one of my favorite liners. Not only does it stay on, but it’s super easy to apply too! My favorite? Of course, Maybelline’s gel liner!

"Enhancing your beauty doesn't always mean going for the glossy look. More ladies now see the allure of a shine-free finish. With the right tools and techniques, you can also achieve a flawless, subtle glow. Learn how to master this trend by following these incredible matte makeup tutorials. Enhance your natural complexion without the unnecessary flash."

5. Thick Frames? Thicker Eyeliner

Thick Frames? Thicker Eyeliner Did you know that if you have thicker framed eyeglasses, your eyeliner should mimic that? This tiny makeup tip for eyeglass wearers is a secret that I am blowing out of the water. So girls with thicker frames, make sure that your eyeliner compliments your thicker frames!

6. Thin Frames? Thin Eyeliner

Thin Frames? Thin Eyeliner The same goes for thin frames! If you have thinner frames, don’t be scared to thin out that eyeliner and go with light lines!

7. Don't Forget the Blush

Don't Forget the Blush Another makeup tip for eyeglass wearers all revolves around blush! Add a bit of color to your face and get that warm summer glow with a little bit of pink along the apples of your cheeks.

8. Shimmer Color on Your Lower Lid

Shimmer Color on Your Lower Lid The great thing about glasses is that they actually magnify your eyes a little, so adding a bit of shimmer to your lower lid is a great way to draw people in! This makeup tip for eyeglass wearers is totally one that I use all of the time too! Try it and see how many compliments you get!

9. Double the Liner for Smoky Eyes

Double the Liner for Smoky Eyes Ladies, just because you have eyeglasses on, doesn’t mean that you have to ditch the smoky eyes! Just double the liner to make sure that it shows up and you’ll see how beautiful your smoky eyes look behind your glasses.

10. Smudged Eyeliner

Smudged Eyeliner This is another makeup tip for eyeglass wearers that I still use all of the time – smudged liner! Just a little smudge along the upper lid or lower lid will really draw people into your eyes.

11. Define Your Brows with Eyebrow Pencils

Define Your Brows with Eyebrow Pencils It all depends on how small or large your lenses are, but you can actually use your eyebrows to draw people to your eyes. Just a little eyeliner pencil along your arch can really go a long way!

12. Shape Your Brows

Shape Your Brows Also, when you wear eyeglasses, you want to make sure that you are shaping your eyebrow to your frame. That way they will stand out!

13. Pay Attention to Your Prescription

Pay Attention to Your Prescription When you wear eyeglasses, you’ve got to pay attention to your prescription and how your eyeglasses look on your face, that way you’ll be able to play and see what makeup tips for eyeglass wearers actually work for you specifically! So take time in front of the mirror and play.

14. Eyes Appear Smaller? Use Liner All the Way around

Eyes Appear Smaller? Use Liner All the Way around Do your eyes appear a lot smaller because of your glasses? Make sure that you really make them pop out by using eyeliner all around your eyes!

15. Eyes Appear Bigger? Light Eyeliner

Eyes Appear Bigger? Light Eyeliner Do your eyes appear a lot bigger because of your glasses? Use just a little bit of liner and don’t go all the way around. It’ll actually make your eyes appear smaller and more natural!

16. Cat Eye Eyeliner

Cat Eye Eyeliner I actually love this makeup tip for eyeglass wearers because so many of us forget, we can actually play with our eyeliner! Just the smallest little tip upward or a natural cat-eye is a great way to really make your eyes stand out.

17. Eyelash Curler

Eyelash Curler Don’t want to wear mascara? No worries at all, you can use an eyelash curler and actually get almost the same effect!

18. Brighten up under Eyes

Brighten up under Eyes A little highlighter cream or even some powder can really go a long way when you are brightening up your under eyes! Just use a small amount and you’ll see a difference!

19. Great Complexion

Great Complexion When you have glasses, it can be difficult for you to really make your eyes stand out, but your complexion will! Girls, use a great foundation and really highlight your complexion and how flawless your skin looks!

20. Highlight Cheekbones

Highlight Cheekbones Your cheekbones, as I mentioned with the blush tip are part of highlighting your makeup! Use a little highlighter or even use a lighter foundation around your cheekbones to highlight them!

21. Double Mascara

Double Mascara Finally, use double mascara whenever you are trying to really make your eyes stand out behind your frames! Coating your lashes in at least two coats of mascara can really make your eyes stand out beautifully!

Tip number 8 has one thing wrong. If you're near-sighted and can't see things that are far away, the glasses you are wearing are making your eyes appear smaller NOT bigger, or magnified.

Thanks for this help me a lit

Not everyones eyes appear larger when wearing glasses. I´m very myopic which make my eyes apear much smaller when wearing glasses...

I am so glad you feel this way enjoy the article theirs some really good tips !! :)

So I have a question maybe you girls could help me with...i like gel liners and i like to wear it on the upper waterline, but the problem is i let it dry a bit, but it still leaves marks on the lower lash line, and I have to be subtle with my make up. How can I avoid this?

I wear glasses all the time and agree with most of these tips, but glasses wearers shouldn't be afraid of colored shadows either. I love the shimmery stuff at Urban Decay, I have two of their pallets and play with my color every day!
