Framed - Makeup For Glasses

A look with glasses. I don't wear them out often but do so once in a while to give my eyes a break from long term contacts wear. I also occasionally wear non prescription frames over my contacts for fun. This is a simple look, good for everyday or for the office


When you do your eye makeup, make sure to define your eyes with a dark eyeliner or eyeshadow . You should conceal your under eye dark area because the shadow casted from your frames would enhance it.


The beauty about wearing glasses is that you don't necessarily need to apply mascara or do your lashes. You don't want the mascara hitting your lenses and lashes tend to hide behind the frames anyways.


What's on my face?
  • Guerlain Meteorites Primer
  • Guerlain Parure Extreme Foundation #02
  • Geurlain Rose Boise Palette #460
  • Benefit Coralista Blush
  • Canmake Gradation Blush Strip #04 (used dark portion as bronzer)
  • MAC Phone Number eyeliner
  • Benefit Jing A Ling lipstick


The Guerlain Rose Boise palette is my go to palette these days, a versatile and natural palette that's easy to use. The texture to the Guerlain palettes are so luxurious!


I also can't seem to stay away from my Benefit Jing A Ling lipstick!


Does anyone else wear glasses for fun?

On a side note, I went to Saks today and purchased some goods. Their friends and family sale is going on now in stores. You get 25% off, 20% off Jewelry, and 10% off cosmetics, go have a lookie! If you went already, what did you buy?

On a random note, its gotten ridiculously cold here in NYC for mid October. Whatever happened to Autumn?! Did we just skip a season? We've been robbed!!

XOXO, M

  12. Great look! I wear glasses too and this is really helpful. I still do my lashes though ^^ If you curl them, there shouldn't be a problem =]

  15. Ahh! Pretty! I almost always wear glasses because everyone tells me I look better in glasses when I wear contacts. It's depressing.

    But I completely agree about the mascara thing. most of the time I just curl my lashes and apply eyeliner and I'm ready to go. I hate it the most when a mascara flakes and it gets stuck in your glasses frame...I don't know if you know what I'm talking about.

    By the way I really love the lipstick on you! So natural yet shiny and pretty!

  19. You look cute! I can't believe I went to Saks and didn't get anything, but in my defense, the SA didn't even mention the F&F sale! Grrr! But I only wanted one thing anyways, so I guess I would have only saved $5...still! lol

    Hope you had fun last night!

    *mwah*
