Eyelashes can be tricky behind your spex, if they brush your lenses you’ll end up unable to see and a little bit messy! So always plump for waterproof, and use eyelash curlers for a wide eyed look that will sweep your lashes up and out of the way. Let your lashes dry thoroughly before putting your glasses back on! If your lashes do catch your spex then get the frame adjusted by an Optician, as this will become uncomfortable.

If you are short sighted, then your eyes will look smaller behind your glasses, so widen the eyes with dark eyeshadow at the outer edges, and a lighter shade on the rest of the lids. Don’t use a black heavy eyeliner which will make your eyes look smaller, go for a softer shade and blend blend blend to avoid harsh lines.

If you’re long sighted, then your eyes will look bigger, you lucky thing! Keep eye make up subtle and concentrate more on luscious lips, this will balance your features and stop your eyes from taking over! Light reflecting lip gloss will make your lips look fuller, matt shades make the lips look smaller.

A touch of glitter is always welcome during the festivities, and don’t be afraid to shimmer and shine behind your specs. Co-ordinate colours with your glasses and eyes to enhance rather than hide your frames. If your glasses are already very blingy, then don’t go overboard with shiny make up too! Plainer specs worn over glittery make up can be a subtle compromise over the festive season. Always wash your glasses after a night out, as make-up, moisturisers and hair products can build up on the frames as well as smudging your lenses.
