-Shape and define your eyebrows. Your brows are like the frames for your frames (pun!). Keep them tidy and they will set the tone for a polished off look. Here is my before photo ( I'm wearing foundation, cheek color and brows)
- The frame of your glasses can create shadows under your eyes, making you look tired or sick. The trick is to balance the shadow from the frame with a brightening concealer. I used the Erase Paste from Benefit Cosmetics. It has a melon-hued undertone helping to balance the blues and purples that are common under the eyes.
-Highlight the inner corners of your eye with a brightener. I used the Anastasia Highlighting Pencil in a Matte Pink shade. I regularly use this product under my brows for definition, but it can multitask as an eye brightener or a highlight at the peaks of your lips.
- Keep your shadow and liner basic. I used a rose gold shadow with a pearly finish but I wouldn't recommend anything too shimmery. Shimmer behind a prescription lens = crazy eyes. Keep your eyeliner tight to the eyelash line to create the illusion of thicker lashes. Finish with a few coats of long wearing mascara (to prevent smudging if you're lucky enough for your glasses to touch your lenses. jerk.)
- Have some fun with your lip color. Since you're keeping the eyes fairly neutral, don't be afraid to add a bright gloss or lipstick. I used Stila color balm lipstick in Gemma. It's a purple-ish fuchsia color that I am loving for spring.
Set everything with a little translucent powder, and the look will last all day!
