The thicker your glasses frames are, the more you can pile on the eye makeup! If your glasses frames are thin, light eye makeup will suit the delicate frames better. The same goes for eyeliner! Thick frames go with thick eyeliner and thin frames call for thin eyeliner.

There are many different eyeliners styles that you can experiment and play with!

Make sure to fill in your brows as it may disappear behind your glasses frames. If your glasses frames are thick, you can fill in your eyebrows to look a little heavier.

If your glasses are coloured or made of a reflective or shiny material like plastic and metal, use a blusher and foundation that's more on the matte side. For glasses that are black or made of matte materials, try a blush with some shimmer!

Apply blush according to your face shape for the most flattering results!
