Geek, four-eyes, nerd… These are all names that have been associated with those who wear glasses. These stereotypes are a thing of the past since glasses are becoming more of a fashion statement than a hindrance; plus, they’re an obvious necessity to some. So why should you have to sacrifice your beauty trends for the sake of sight? You shouldn’t. Anyone who has subpar vision knows the struggle of your features getting lost behind your glasses, so ladies, it’s time to put your makeup skills to work and follow these tips to make sure you look as fierce as possible in your frames:
- Once you apply your foundation or concealer, be sure to set it with a powder. Unset foundation is tacky and can become slippery and even greasy much faster, which will allow your specs to slide right off your nose.

- Brows, brows, brows! Everyone is all about the eyebrows these days, but it is especially important to fill them in when you’re wearing glasses. Thicker brows help ensure that your frames don’t overtake your face.

- A little bit of eyeliner can really help to make sure your eyes still stand out from behind your frames. You can mix up your eyeliner game by using black for a dramatic look, brown for a softer look, and green or purple for a fun pop of color.

- Curling your lashes so they stand up and not out can help prevent getting mascara on your lenses. Use a waterproof mascara after curling to ensure the curl holds all day and for extra lens protection.
