The best frames for your face

Glasses and makeup: 6 tips from a pro
Raquel Atienza, a makeup artist with The Artist Group, an agency in Toronto that represents makeup artists, shares her tips on how to wear makeup with glasses.

1. Choose colours that flatter your eyes and skin. There is no need to match your makeup to your glasses.

2. Lenses can exaggerate the appearance of under-eye circles. Hide them with a creamy concealer in a shade as close to your skin colour as possible, then set with loose or pressed powder.

3. Make eyes stand out behind glasses with a slightly more dramatic application than usual. Use a pale shade of eye shadow, such as light taupe or something close to your skin tone, as a base from lash line to brow. Use a medium shade of the same colour in the crease, and the darkest shade at the outer corner. With an angled brush, apply a dark shade along upper and lower lash lines as well. Wing it out a bit at a 45-degree angle for more oomph.

4. A bit of shimmer catches the light and keeps the focus on your eyes rather than on your glasses. Add a tiny amount of shimmery eye shadow in white or champagne at the inner corner of the lids and lower lash lines and blend toward outer corners.

5. Always curl lashes for a bright-eyed look -- and to prevent them from brushing against your lenses. Apply lots of mascara for added drama. Mascara globs look worse behind glasses, so use a lash comb to minimize clumps.

6. Brows frame the face in the same way glasses do. Keep brows well groomed and defined for an overall sharp look.
