Luckily, there are a few tips and tricks to help you achieve a dazzling, flawless look while wearing them. From choosing colors to how to apply makeup, learning how to do your makeup with glasses can make all the difference in your overall look.

Read on and discover how to look radiant thanks to the 10 makeup tips for women with glasses that we bring you at Bassol Optics.

1. Less is more

When wearing glasses, it is essential to keep in mind that these are already a striking accessory on the face. Makeup should complement and not compete with them, so it is crucial not to exaggerate to avoid an overloaded look. Simplicity is the key to look radiant. A discreet and balanced makeup will highlight your natural beauty without detracting from your glasses.

2. Defined eyebrows

Eyebrows frame your eyes and are especially important when you wear glasses. To achieve a natural finish it is important to follow a few key steps. First, choose an eyebrow pencil or eyebrow shadow. It's best if it's a shade lighter than your hair. Start by gently filling in any overgrown areas with short, subtle strokes, following the natural shape of your brows.

Then use a brow brush to blend the product and soften any harsh lines. Don't overload your brows with too much product, as this can make them look artificial.

3. Concealer: an ally for concealing dark circles under the eyes

Concealer is one of the must-have products in every woman's makeup kit. It is used to conceal blemishes, imperfections and dark circles under the eyes. Wearing glasses accentuates the latter, since the frame often casts shadows that give the appearance of a tired look.

We recommend choosing a concealer a shade lighter than your foundation and applying it to the area you want to conceal. Apply the product by dabbing it lightly on the skin. For this step you can use a makeup sponge or your fingertips. Finally, seal the product with mattifying powder and get a flawless eyeglasses makeup.

4. Light shades for nearsighted eyes.

One factor to take into account when doing eye makeup for eyes with glasses is the visual problem you have. If it is myopia, your eyes behind the glass will tend to look smaller. So when applying makeup, what you should look for is to produce an eye enlargement effect. Light shades of eye shadow are ideal for this purpose.

You can also choose to apply a little highlighter on the tear and under the arch of the eyebrow. Another tip to enlarge your eyes is to use a nude pencil on the waterline on the lower eyelid.

On the other hand, if your myopia is high, it is advisable to choose small, round frames that conceal the thickness of the lenses. Glasses such as Raval Eyewear Nou Glasses C2 and Lunor A12 501 63 46 meet these characteristics.

5. Dark tints for farsighted eyes.

If on the other hand you suffer from farsightedness, your eyes with glasses will look bigger. In this case, the ideal makeup for you is one that gives the eye a smaller appearance. To achieve this effect you can opt for shadows in dark tones and a black eyeliner for the waterline.

In case of high hyperopia, we also recommend you to opt for small frames. A couple of ideal options in this case are the ETNIA BARCELONA BRUTAL NO.18 CL 47 and the Tom Ford FT5664-B 001 45.

6. The frame plays a key role in the choice of makeup.

When choosing your makeup you should also take into account the design of your frame. The important thing is to choose a makeup style that complements it and avoid an overdone look.

If you wear a frame made of plastic and in bright colors, it would be appropriate to opt for a makeup in beige, nude or pastel tones. With this type of makeup you can wear a pair of glasses like the Retrosuperfuture Numero 90 Rosso or the colorful ETNIA BARCELONA BRUTAL NO.4 GR 45.

On the other hand, in the case of thin frames or rimless frames, make-up in darker and more intense tones is perfect. These types of frames allow eyeglasses make-up to stand out in an elegant and sophisticated way, especially if you opt for a smoky eye look.

The ETNIA BARCELONA ESTARTIT SLBK 47 and the Etnia Barcelona MALBORK BKBE 53 are two examples that go perfectly with this makeup style. Check them out!

7. Add a touch of life to your face with blush.

In a makeup for girls with glasses, blusher can be a special ally to give color to the face and soften the features. In addition, its use helps balance the overall look of makeup and adds dimension to the face.

Choosing the right shade is essential to achieve the desired effect. If your skin is fair, it is advisable to opt for pink tones. Peach and orange tones are perfect for medium skin. On the other hand, if your skin is dark, you should ideally opt for bronze or golden tones.

For girls with glasses, it is advisable to apply this product on the cheeks in a subtle and diffused way. Also remember to avoid excesses that may compete with the presence of the glasses.

Frames in blue tones, such as Gigi Studios PRAGA 6808/3 50, look good on fair skin. If you have a medium skin tone, the Guess GU2965 074 55 has a pale pink shade that will look great on you. On the other hand, for darker skin tones, purple frames are ideal, such as ETNIA BARCELONA BRUTAL NO.20 PU 53.

8. Don't forget the mascara!

Mascara is a fundamental cosmetic in makeup for women with glasses, as it helps to highlight and define the eyelashes. This product can help counteract the effect of frames, which can sometimes dull the look. By adding a touch of glamour and sophistication to makeup, its use contributes to a dazzling look.

For best results, we recommend using an eyelash curler before applying mascara.

9. The ideal eyeliner

Another infallible tip when it comes to makeup and eyewear is to choose the ideal eyeliner. This product is an essential ally to enhance the look and look impeccable and flattering makeup when wearing glasses.

If your frame is thick and striking, like the Roberto Cavalli VRC052 0M26 49, opt for an equally thick and pronounced eyeliner, which highlights your look. If, on the other hand, you are wearing a thin frame or a thin frame, such as Silhouette Blend 5555 FM 4540 51, the ideal is to opt for thin and discreet strokes.

1. The power of lipstick

Lipstick is a powerful tool in makeup for girls with glasses, as it can help highlight and balance the face. Nude shades go perfectly with bold, thick frames, such as Gucci GG1521O 004 51. Red shades, on the other hand, look great on women with black frames, such as Gucci GG1525O 001 54 .

With these tips, the right products and eye-enhancing techniques, you can achieve a dazzling eyeglass makeup look.
