It has been brought to my attention that I have been neglecting our spectacled friends. And for this I deeply apologise. I think you’re all very terrific and deserve your own post.
Cue… your own post!
1. Correct and conceal under and around the eye
Use a corrector to even out any dark tones first (like Napoleon Perdis The One) and then dab on concealer and then, if you have one, use an illuminating pen like YSL Touche Eclat. This will keep the whole eye looking fresh and wide-awake under your glasses.
2. When using and choosing shadow, keep the eyelid fresh, light and bright
Avoid dark shades and smoked up eyes, and REALLY avoid greys or very cool blues. It will not do you any favours and in fact will wash you out and make you look tired. Instead, use washes of soft pinks, cream, purples, taupe, light bronzes and golds over the whole eye socket, and then use a brown shadow in and along the socket line ONLY (not the lid – keep that clean) and blend it out. (Check my smoky eye video for the how-to on that part.) Use something pink and brightening like Benefit High Brow under the brow to make the eye look bigger. The idea is to make it look very bright under there, and make you look very awake and pretty and fresh.
3. Avoid makeup on the lower lashline
