Look Great with Glasses

When worn with confidence eyeglasses can make you look great. Don't be afraid to step up your looks and bring up your confidence with these great steps. Remember to smile!

Steps

  1. Choose the right glasses for your face and coloring. Frames come in all colors and styles. Some are practically invisible; others draw attention. Try on lots of different frames until you find the ones for you.
  2. Choose glasses that are the right size. They should fit you comfortably and not pinch, droop, or lean.
  3. Take Skin Care and Hair Care. Clean, healthy skin looks great on any face, especially on those who choose to (or have to) wear the stunning eye-accessory of glasses. Make sure both skin and hair stay clean and fresh. Clear up blemishes and keep hair smelling fresh and looking healthy.
  4. Keep your glasses clean. Clean your glasses every month or so. Keep a lookout for smudges or gunk on the lenses. Remove any such spots with a soft cloth, like a t-shirt or a piece of felt. Make sure the cloth is clean, and be careful not to wipe too firmly or you may scratch your glasses.
  5. Take care of your Eyebrow Care.</b> For a more clean brow shape, tweeze only the stray hairs. Be sure not to over-pluck. Making the tiniest mistake plucking brows can leave you brow-less. If that ever happens, try rubbing on a bit of olive oil to coax eyebrows to grow quicker. In the meantime, see a professional make-up artist, they can help you pencil your eyebrows in, giving the illusion of a normal shape and thickness. Don't worry about shape and colors and such, since they are professionals they'll be able to help you find temporary brow shape and color you like.
    • Don't pluck your eyebrows every day. Even if you see more stray hairs peeking in, plucking and removing hair every day damages your skin. Try doing it every other week.
    • Define brows with eyeshadow, an eyebrow pencil, or even mascara that matches your eyebrow color or is somewhat lighter.
    • The best way to leave brows shaped and groomed is to apply a tiny bit of Vaseline to tame them, or use a brow gel. A creamy formula fills in eyebrow color, controls, and shapes.
    • Take to the air. Aviator frames have made their way back into fashion. They're now described as timeless, and vintage. See if they work for you.
  6. Accentuate your lips. A nice natural smooth lip plays up giving your eyes the attention it needs. For a smooth, kissable look apply Vaseline to your lips after you brush your teeth, and before you go to bed. Try using a gloss with shimmer during the day to give your lips that sweet hint of color and a lovable minty flavor. Apply the product sparingly, a light, sheer coat goes a long way. Also try colored lip glosses; apply over lips for that nice smooth kissable shine.


  7. You can use eyeliner to help define your eye shape and create the look of a thicker lash line. Be careful, however, if applied incorrectly eyeliner can look tacky and can make the eyes appear smaller.
    • If your eye shape is naturally small, consider white pencil (applied to the inner rim of your lower lid). This will enhance the shape and the color of your eyes.
    • For a natural look (recommended) apply a soft shade of dark brown or black liner to your top lid as close to the lash-line as possible, Apply a matching shade of mascara sparingly, or simply go with a clear mascara.
    • For a funkier look, experiment with light-handed, thin lines of blue, jade or gold liner on the top lash line and a bit on the outside bottom lash line. Match this with a clear (or shimmering, if you're feeling bold) mascara, or simply go with a natural color.
    • Choose a cute hairstyle! You could decide your new look according to the frame of your glasses.
  8. Smile and be confident. This is perhaps the most important step. The best thing you can do to look great in glasses is to feel you look great in glasses. A sweet smile will bring out the best in your features and confidence makes anyone look instantly more attractive!

Tips

  • Just remember, glasses are just like another accessory, they frame your face and as long as you pick the right pair they can look really cute!
  • Don't pass over contacts completely, if you still feel like glasses just aren't you, ask your eye doctor (and your parents!) about the possibilities of contacts. Just know that there's nothing wrong with wearing glasses.
  • Look for a Find the Best Bargains. Glasses can be a bit pricey. Check some websites listed for great deals. Remember that you have to wear your glasses daily, so make sure you find a pair that you love even if it costs you a bit more. You can reuse frames for years if you take good care of them.
  • If you can't wear makeup, be sure to tweeze your brows. They're most important for a stylish, clean overall look. Vaseline can be a beauty essential: apply it to your lips, apply to keep brows shaped, and apply as mascara by dabbing some on your fingers and applying gently to your eyelashes. Vaseline is non-comedogenic (does not block pores), so it can even be used as a night treatment for dry skin.
  • When picking out glasses choose some as if you're choosing your perfect sunglasses. Something versatile, something that fits your face shape. Look into unusual options like rimless or patterned frames. Other frames like rectangular frames, round frames, and aviators aren't good for all face types.
  • Just wear some lip balm, wear your hair loose, and wear some clothes and accessories that match your glasses.

Warnings

  • Don't over-pluck brows. It's easy to be tweezers happy. If this ever happens go to a trusted stylist. It's better than leaving home looking permanently shocked. If you're not sure, get your brows waxed every so often, the just pluck the strays that appear outside of the waxed shape.
