Make up with Glasess

A few of us in the office wear glasses and make up. We thought we’d share these handy tips with you to make sure you’re always looking your best.

1. The bolder your choice of frame the more understated your eye make-up should be. Choose subtle colours that will compliment your frames. Try Virgin Vie At Home’s new Velvet Eyeshadow. A handbag size of four shades, this will give your eyes a touch of colour.

2. If you find that powder eyeshadows end up on your lenses, you could opt for a cream eyeshadow like Virgin Vie At Home’s Timeproof. It stays in place all day and into the evening and is easy to apply in a handy pen.

3. Limit mascara to one coat as any clumps or heavily made up eyelashes will be more obvious underneath glasses. Virgin Vie At Home’s Waterproof Mascara is smudge & smear proof so is the perfect solution for glasses wearers.

4. Wearing the same glasses everyday can cause oils to build up, particularly around the bridge of your nose. Keep this area scrupulously clean with a daily cleanse, tone and moisture regime. Try Virgin Vie At Home’s Skin Sparkle kit once a week to help remove imperfections and leave your skin sparkling.

5. Don’t let blusher fight with the lower rim of your glasses. Choose a lighter shade, like Virgin Vie At Home’s Cheek To Cheek Blusher in shade Bare Faced Cheek and apply just to the apple of your cheeks: smile and apply.

6. Glasses can sometimes cast shadows that make the circles under your eye appear darker. Conceal this area with a lightening product like Virgin Vie At Home’s Out Of The Shadows. This bestseller helps eliminate fine lines and dark shadows; perfect for glasses wearers.

7. The fittings on rimless glasses can make the bridge of your nose more noticeable. To minimise this effect, keep your eyeshadow pale in the corners of your eyes and darken gently as you go out to the edge. This will help to draw attention away from the centre. Try Virgin Vie At Home’s Twinset Eyeshadows in complimenting shades of light and dark – perfect to achieve this effect.

8. Going for a bolder frame? Then pick a lip colour to compliment your choice. If you’re out to impress try Sensational Colour Lipstick from Virgin Vie At Home in a shade that matches your frame. Prefer to try something a little more understated? You’ll love the Pure Shine Lip Gloss, perfect for giving a subtle wash of glossy colour.

9. Eyeliner can appear harsh under glasses, so opt for a softer look and gently brush a darker eyeshadow along the lower lash line like Virgin Vie At Home’s Chocolate Fudge Eyeshadow. For effortless application use the Eyeshadow Blender & Applicator Brush.

10. Keep eyebrows tidy and subtle as they can conflict with the upper rim of your lens. Try Virgin Vie At Home’s Brow & Lash Styler to keep brows neatly groomed.
