7 Make-up tricks for Girls with glasses
Eye wear is no more just a necessity.
With a glamourous make-over, they
have made their mark as fashion
accessories. However, if you still feel
that despite having beautiful eyes, your
glasses make you look not-so-attractive,
worry not. With just a few changes to
the way you wear your make-up, you
can enhance your look and discover an
entirely new dimension to yourself.
1. Have well groomed eyebrows
Keep in mind to have trimmed and
well groomed eyebrows all the time since
overgrown or messy brows spoil the look.
Thinner brows with an arch look best
with thinner frames, whereas thicker or
darker frames look best with thicker brows
with an arch. If you have any prominent
gap in between your brows then just fill
them up with a fine eye brow pencil, in
a colour that matches your brows.
2. Use matte foundation and blush
If you have an oily skin, you are
probably used to the glass rims sliding
down your nose with a layer of foundation
sticking to it. To avoid this, use a matte
foundation. The second best choice
would be a water-resistant foundation.
Apply a light dusting powder over the
foundation. It will prevent your glasses
from slipping and messing up your base
make-up. Even for the blush, use a matte
natural colour and avoid too much
shimmer.
3. Enhance your eye make-up
Since glasses are directly related to
your eyes, you have to pay more attention make-up in place. Try usi ng a good eye
make-up primer or use a hint of matte
finish foundation, followed by a touch of
to the eye make-up. Firstly, try different
colours — both subtle and bold — to
check out what looks best on your eyes
and suits your frames. Once you zero
in on the shades, remember the combo
so that you don't end up having eyes
that look dull with your frame. Also
remember, a smooth base for your eye
shadow is important to keep the eye translucent powder.
4. Use a thinner eyeliner
An eyeliner will make your eyes more
noticeable, but use them smartly. If you
wear thick, dark frames, then draw a
slightly thicker eyeline, but if it is a
frameless glass or have thin frames, go
for a thinner liner. Take some time and
use a two-step process — apply a
thinner liquid eyeliner on the upper lids
and follow it up with a nude shade liner
to the lower waterline. It will make your
eyes stand out.
5. Avoid Clumpy Mascara
Using a mascara definitely makes your
eyes look bigger. Use it as you would
do normally, but be sure to remove any
clump by using a mascara brush
whenever needed. However, avoid too
much mascara on the lower lids since
they can cast further shadows under your
eyes. Keep it light or skip the lower lashes
and focus only on upper lashes.
6. Opt for subtle Lips
We all know of the unwritten rule —
the focus should either be on the eyes,
or the lips, and never on both. So if your
eyes are quite prominent because of your
glasses, then choose natural hues for
your lips. However, it's a good idea to
try out different options until you find a
perfect balance, that suits both your skin
tone and the colour of your frames.
7. When going out for a party
For a glamourous party look, make
sure not to go OTT. Keep the basic points
in mind. You can try wearing bold eye
make-up, alongside glossy lips. Add a
bold eyeline and you are ready to party.
Smudging the eye liner slightly for a
smoky look goes well with glasses.
However, if you must, use shimmer of
a lighter shade.
4 braid styles for a younger look
This season who wouldn't want to
sport their best hair updo? Ditch the usual
ponytail and choose from these varied
braid styles that will make you look
glamorous.
Crowning glory
A crown braid looks great on those
with a round face. To begin with, start
by dividing your hair into two sections
and braid the first section all the way
down to the end. Repeat the same with
the
second section of hair. Now bring the
braid over your head, covering your ear
and secure it with bobby pins.
Fishtail braid
Whether you are wearing something
casual, ethnic or formal, a fishtail braid
looks great with almost all outfits. It looks
elaborate and is a favourite with most
women with long hair. Divide your hair
into two large sections, parting it from
middle. Pull a thin strand of hair from

the outside of the left section and pull
it over it and grasp it under the right
side. Repeat this with the right side as
well. Keep alternating the sides, weaving
over and under until you reach the
bottom. Tie it off in the end with a hair
bobble.
Braided updo
This is one of the simplest styles to
sport and looks almost great on every
face shape. If you are having a bad hair
day, this is a style you can try out.
To do this, start braiding your hair from
the crown until the end. Then wrap it
around and secure it using bobby pins.
Bun with a strip of braid
If you are wearing something
traditional, this is a look you can try out.
Tie your hair up in a bun and keep a
strand or two of hair from your crown
hanging loose. Next, plait this strand of
hair and wrap it over the bun and secure
it with pins.
