What shades are best for me if I wear glasses?

To wear good eye makeup, it's important to choose shades that match the type of glasses and frames you wear. Below you will find the colors and shades of eye shadows that look best with lenses for nearsightedness, farsightedness and presbyopia, as well as the shades that match discreet or striking frames.

1. Shades for nearsighted eyes

Myopia lenses make your eyes look smaller, so the goal of makeup is to enlarge them. Light-colored shadows in nude and pink tones are ideal in this case, because they give light to your eyes and make them look wider.

Shimmery shadows will also help if you apply them in the center of the eyelid, under the arch of the eyebrows and on the tear trough. In addition, under-eye concealer is a must, to eliminate any dark undertones around your eyes.

Imagine how good a pink eye shadow makeup with sparkles would look with these Hugo HG 1300 OIT 51 glasses with black frame or with these PhilippPlein VPP116V 0579 22 with transparent frame. The contrast between glasses and shadows will widen your look and will surprise more than one!

2. Shades for farsighted and presbyopic eyes.

Your eyes look bigger than they are after prescription glasses for farsightedness or presbyopia, so a discreet eye makeup is what you are looking for in this case.

Avoid bright or too light shades, instead opt for shades of brown, violet, blue, gray and black. By combining these colors to create a smoky effect on the eyelids, your eyes will look the size they really are.

3. Shades for sober frames

To harmonize your eye makeup with the frame of your glasses, it is recommended that they contrast. That is to say, if you wear a thin, metallic or neutral colored frame, use a make up that stands out. However, if your glasses have vibrant colors and an avant-garde design, it is best to opt for a simple makeup.

In short, it is ideal that eye makeup and glasses do not compete with each other, but that together they bring to the forefront the attributes of your eyes.

In the case of sober and discreet frames, such as Carrera 323 J5G 51 and Miu Miu MU 01XV 1AB1O1 50, the shades that suit you best are those with intense colors. She also uses shimmering or metallic palettes, perfect for vibrant, high-impact makeup looks.

4. Shades for extravagant frames

Eyeglasses with brightly colored or variegated frames, as well as modern and extravagant designs, harmonize with subdued makeup looks, shades in nude or pastel tones.

For example, the EHNICBARCELONA BRUTAL NO.17 GR 54 and Prada PR A04V 18N1O1 54 glasses are such remarkable models that they do not require heavy make-up to catch the eye.

Besides the make up, combining glasses with your hair is another way to take your style to the next level. Still don't know how to do it? Take a look at Women's haircuts with glasses on trend + 3 tips.

Tips for a top eyeliner look with glasses

Eyeliner defines your look, so to show off your eyes the way you want you need to know how to apply it correctly. Follow the recommendations below and learn what type of eyeliner to use depending on your prescription glasses.

• White eyeliner to enlarge the eyes: as we said before, light colors are effective to enlarge the look, so if you wear glasses for myopia, outline your eyes on the water line with a white pencil. This enlarges the contour of the eye behind the glasses.
• Dark eyeliner for more depth: to make your eyes look smaller, use a black or brown eyeliner on the waterline. The dark frame also gives the illusion of a deep, expressive look, perfect for showing behind glasses for farsightedness and presbyopia.
• Cat eye eyeliner according to your eye shape: this eyeliner looks good on anyone, however, make sure you draw it with the thickness and length that corresponds to the shape of your eyes, because it depends on this whether they look bigger or smaller. On the other hand, to reduce the size of the eyelid, it is best to draw a thicker and shorter eyeliner.

  On the other hand, when you wear glasses, the important thing with cat eye eyeliner is that it never goes beyond the frame.

• Colors, glitter and creative shapes: whether with liquid eyeliner or pencil eyeliner, take the risk of choosing bright, metallic or shiny colors. This is one way to highlight the eye makeup behind the glasses, especially when they are a simple model like the BOSS 1644 EAN 54.

Also, try eyeliner styles that vary from traditional shapes and include small star shapes or dots at the end and along the lines to give a touch of fantasy to your make up.

Impact eyelashes and eyebrows in eye makeup with glasses.

Eyelashes in eyeglasses makeup also help your eyes look bigger or smaller. Here are some tips on how to fix your eyelashes while wearing glasses for nearsightedness and glasses for farsightedness and presbyopia:

• With myopia glasses it is convenient to lengthen and curl your eyelashes, but do not give them more volume, because this would make your eyes look smaller. A suitable option in this case is to use a curler, being careful not to use it too often or exert too much pressure to avoid splitting your eyelashes. Also, apply a thin coat of mascara.
• If you wear glasses for farsightedness and presbyopia, it will help to apply a good coat of mascara to make them look fuller. You can also opt for false eyelashes, as long as you go to a professional who takes the necessary care when applying them.

As for the eyebrows, they will look good no matter what type of glasses you wear. Consider that the top eyebrows in this 2024 are the natural ones, for this, with a comb and trim them a little, it will be enough.

Now, if you prefer to make up your eyebrows, use shades of shadows similar to the hairs and be sure to blend them very well.
