6 Infallible Makeup Tips For People Who Wear Glasses

Wearing glasses has no negative sentiment, thanks to K-pop idols such as Soyou, TWICE's Nayeon, and GFRIEND's Yuju. Even though wearing glasses requires a different makeup technique, glasses are super glamorous these days. 

If you wear stylish glasses, your eyes are probably drawing attention, so it's imperative to learn how to apply makeup to look flawless. Here are six infallible makeup tips for people who wear glasses. 

1. Use a Magnifying Mirror

We recommend using a magnifying mirror to avoid missing a spot or wearing too much cosmetics. It's best to apply makeup in a well-lighting area so it's easier to appreciate what you're doing. 

Magnifying mirrors are excellent beauty tools as they help you identify which cosmetics match your skin tone. This way, your foundation, eye makeup, and blush look more natural. You can also use the mirror to restore those areas where the foundation is fading, so you're always flawless. 

2. Consider Eyeglasses Frame Styles

The style of your eyeglasses will determine what type of makeup you can wear. If you prefer glasses without frames, you can wear more makeup. On the other hand, if your glasses have dark edges, you should use neutral colours. 

Please note that size matters. You have more freedom to experiment if you wear bigger frames as they don't hide your eyes. However, smaller frames usually cover your eyebrows and eyelashes, so wearing eye makeup is more challenging.

Make sure to choose your glasses based on your needs. 

3. Always Wear Concealer and Foundation

Cover dark under eye circles with concealer. Apply concealer starting on the outside up until the inner eye. Make sure to cover all areas, including the corner next to the nose. 

You can try THE SAEM Cover Perfection Tip Concealer SPF28 PA++. This concealer provides flawless coverage and sun protection. It comes in eight colours, so it's easier to find the one that best suits your skin tone.

Afterward, apply foundation over your face to create a perfect base. Make sure to use a colour that matches your skin tone. 

The MISSHA Magic Cushion Moist Up evens out skin complexion while providing hydration. This foundation contains SPF50+ PA+++ to protect the skin from harmful UV rays.

Set the concealer and foundation with powder. Setting powder helps makeup to stay longer and prevent creasing. Apply the powder to the T-zone if you have oily or combination skin.

SKINFOOD Peach Cotton Multi Finish Powder is a top-quality K-beauty formula designed to set your foundation. This finishing powder provides an airbrushed effect. It absorbs oils and sweat.

4. Define your Eyes with Eyeliner

Since glasses can cover your eyes, Korean makeup artists recommend focusing on eyeliner while keeping the eyeshadow profound. Add a coloured eyeliner to the waterline to emphasize your eyes.

An excellent option is Brown Black from MACQUEEN Waterproof Pen Eyeliner. This eyeliner defines eye lines flawlessly, even if you're not an expert. 

It contains carbon black ingredients to add more contrast to your eyes. The K-beauty formula is waterproof, so it lasts all day.

5. Don't Forget your Eyebrows

Glasses draw attention to your eyebrows, so it's crucial to shape them well. Eyebrows make your face look natural and your eyes bigger, vivid, and awake. We are big fans of the INNISFREE Auto Eyebrow Pencil.

INNISFREE Auto Eyebrow Pencil comes in seven colours to create natural-looking eyebrows. This eyebrow pencil is excellent for defining and shaping eyebrows due to its precise and short strokes. 

The Auto Eyebrow Pencil is beginner friendly as it's easy to use. It's a long-lasting formula with nourishing ingredients to support healthier eyebrows. 

6. Use Mascara

If you wear glasses, you probably think you don't need to use mascara as you might worry about messing up your lenses. But, ROMAND Han All Fix Mascara is ideal for lifting, elongating, and thickening your eyelashes without clumps.

Choose Volume Black from ROMAND Han All Fix Mascara to create a natural look. This mascara is prevalent among K-pop idols due to its waterproof and resistant formula, which lasts longer with no smudging.

We recommend applying an eyelash serum like ETUDE HOUSE My Lash Serum for better results. Also, use a curling tool such as SHU UEMURA Eyelash Curler to curl your eyelashes and avoid your eyelashes from touching and scratching your glasses.
