Since my last glasses post I got contacts, like an adult!!! Oh boy, you should have seen me when I went in for my first contacts fitting. The doctor was explaining how to get them in and I was all, “I’m a makeup artist, I’m suuuper comfortable with eyes, I got this…” Fast forward to me 20 minutes later, still trying to get the first contact in, nearly on the verge of tears. I have since become better at getting contacts in, but I still like to wear my glasses.
For my eyes I lightly lined them with brown pencil and applied a lot of mascara.
Again I focused on the lips. I love statement lips with glasses because it creates a stand-out “look.” I applied NARS Red Square, a red lip pencil with an orange base. Orange-reds are bit more light, young, and casual than deep, blue-reds, but that’s not to say there isn’t a place for those deep reds too.
If you are a glasses wearer try defining your eyebrow as a way to make your eyes stand out behind your frames. Be careful not to over fill your brows though because ultimately you want them to look natural. Use short hair-like strokes with an eyebrow pencil and keep your pressure light so the pigment isn’t too dark.
I just need to take a moment to remind everyone how hot Annamarie is.
