Girls who wear spectacles know that finding the right beauty look can be a little bit of a challenge. These makeup tips will help you combat shadow, brighten eyes and revamp your eye makeup.
Your frames often create shadows below your eyes. To combat the shadow effect, use a warm hued concealer that is two shades lighter than your natural skintone. For addional brightening, look for concealers with light reflecting properties. Apply the concealer in an inverse triangular shape under the eye where the shadow of your frame falls. Blend upward using your fingers or a brush, as executed here by Lauren, our digital editorial intern. Finish the look and prevent creasing by dusting with a translucent powder.
To brighten tired eyes and widen your gaze, line your waterline with a neutral liner.
