Looking gorgeous IN YOUR GLASSES
Girls' Life magazine|August/September 2023
The glasses girlies know: You spend your a.m. perfecting an eye look only to (ugh!) put on your specs and find your meticulous cut crease, well, cut right off by the cute frames you got for fall semester. No longer! This school year, we're all about making those pretty peepers pop from behind the lenses.

Looking gorgeous IN YOUR GLASSES

Open Up Your Eyes "Glasses can create a dark shadow around your eyes and dramatic shades can make them look even smaller," explains Kristen Fortier, makeup artist and product development manager at Crunchi Cosmetics. Open them up with simple, light eyeshadows. "Place a neutral shimmer on the eyelid and a bronzer or contouring shade in the crease. Only apply eyeliner on the top lash line to brighten and widen your eyes."

Flake-Proof Your Lashes There is nothing worse than the tips of your lashes brushing against your lenses-then rubbing your mascara off and into your eyes. Solve it by curling your lashes and applying a coat of waterproof mascara. Once it's dry, use a clean mascara spoolie to comb through lashes, removing any loose particles, suggests Stila Cosmetics global beauty director Charlie Riddle.
