Eye Makeup Tips For Those Who Wear Glasses
One of the virtues of wearing glasses is that the frames can hide some of the skin flaws or strange wrinkles around your eyes. I usually get frames that cover up the dark circles beneath my eyes. But glasses needn't be a barrier to let people look in your eyes. If you aren't that interested in eye makeup tips for those who wear glasses, consider wearing sunglasses when you are in public, like Bono.
Less Is More
The best eye makeup tip for anyone who wears glasses is "When in doubt - leave it out." There are a few career fields where heavy eye makeup is a necessity, but for most professions, any excess eye makeup is considered the sign of a person with questionable ethics. Even if you do have questionable ethics, you needn't advertise it by wearing a lot of makeup. You want the least possible amount of make up on in order to look more honest and natural.
Be Honest About Your Eyesight
The next eye makeup tip is to make an honest appraisal of your eyesight. Putting on mascara, eye liner and eye shadow is very detailed work. If this stuff gets in your eyes, it is incredibly painful and can ruin what's left of your vision. If your eyesight is not that great, consider either not wearing any eye makeup or wearing only flattering but barely noticeable eye shadow. Fashion is not worth a scratched cornea. If you forget all of the other eye makeup tips presented here, please don't forget that.
Smears And Smudges
It will take practice to get to know how much eye makeup you can safely use without having most of it wind up on your glasses. Consider not wearing false eyelashes if your eyelashes already brush against your glasses. Here's a good eye makeup tip -- don't just buy any eye make up - buy smear proof makeup (preferably that hasn't been tested on animals!) This makeup dries very quickly, so it needs to be applied quickly.
Before putting any makeup on, clean and dry your skin. If you have dry or aging skin, you might want to put a moisturizer around your eyes and on your eye lids. If you are having an allergy attack, forget putting anything on your eye lids. After the moisturizer, gently smooth on oil free foundation makeup, and then wait at least one minute for it to dry. Then, you are good to go with your eye shadow, mascara or whatever you want to risk blinding yourself with.
