Glases 101: How to Enhance Eyes



What makeup looks good with eyeglasses? For women who don't wear contacts, eye makeup is a constant battle. Enhance eyes or draw attention away? How do you know which to do?

It depends first on your eyes: myopia or hyperopia? That is, nearsightedness or farsightedness? Jane Iredale offers her tips on what to do in each situation!

Jane notes: "If you are nearsighted your eyes will look smaller behind glasses so wear more makeup in order to define your eyes. Pale but vibrant shadows with a liner on upper and lower lids. And, yes, two coats of mascara on upper lashes."

Try PureLash Lenghtening Mascara in Jet Black and new Liquid Liners (available in Black, Black/Brown and glamorous Gold).


"If you are farsighted," Jane notes, "your eyes will look larger behind glasses so you might want to tone down your makeup – or may be not! Definitely be careful with the liner. Think about getting it as close to the lashes as possible so it becomes a real lash line. Go easy on the mascara."

Try Creme-to-Powder Eyeliner with a jane iredale Eyeliner Brush. Product goes on so smooth and finishes so crisp, you'd swear it was liquid. The brush makes application as easy as 1-2-3 and allows you to create two looks -- crisp and smudged with the opposite sponge end.

Sometimes I like to wear glasses just because I think they're cute even though I don't need them.
