If you’ve been forced to believe that makeup, especially eye makeup and glasses don’t mix, it’s time you give that a second thought. Consider your eyes as a canvas that you can get creative with and your glasses the frame that encompasses it. Stop for a while and just imagine it, imagine how beautiful your eyes look even with your glasses on and that eyeshadow! WOW! And you’ve got all eyes on you, you know why? That’s because your frames are the metaphorical arrow pointing attention towards your beautiful eye makeup.
However, there’s one thing that you need to bear in mind, your eye shadow can either make or break your eye makeup game, so choose your colors wisely. If you’re a beginner, you’d probably wonder, what next? How would I know what colors to pick? We understand it could be a bit difficult to figure that out by yourself and so we’re here with a list of eye shadow shades that you could pick from.
5 Eyeshadow Rules For Spectacle Wearers
Rule #1 – Say NO To BLACK
Looking for a deeper shade? Pick anything but black, maybe a deep burgundy or sparkly blue instead. If you’re wearing glasses with a black frame choosing a black eyeshadow would be a HUGE mistake. Warmer hues like the ones we mentioned above look gorgeous regardless of your skin tone.
Since these colors are bold and deep, it’s best to use them as eyeliner instead. You can even try to wing it out if you like, either way, it’ll look absolutely stunning on you.


Rule #2 – Keep In Mind The Colour Of Your Frame
Whenever you’re picking an eyeshadow, always keep the color of your frame in mind. Picking a contrasting color or something that does not go well with your frame can look like a complete mess. Let your frame influence the choice of eye shadow. If you’re wearing black spectacle frames, consider yourself lucky as you can make any color work. On the other hand, if your frame isn’t black, maybe a grey or a brown, try something like a dark bronze or a soft smokey eye. Lastly, if your frame features a tortoiseshell design be sure to pick a color from within the frame itself.
Rule #3 – Going Rimless? Go BOLD
A thicker frame demands a thicker eyeliner but what about eyeglasses that have no frame at all? Yes, we’re talking about rimless eyeglasses. What should you consider? The solution is a simple cat eye or if you have the skills a double-winged liner would be great. Now you may be wondering “how on earth am I going to get those perfect wing eyeliner looks using a mere eyeshadow?” If you haven’t guessed it yet, don’t worry, we’re about to unveil the secret. Wet and dry eyeshadows are best for creating this look because it gives you the pigmentation and intensity of a liquid liner. All you need is an eyeshadow that can be used both wet and dry and an angular brush. You choose rimless for a reason, right? So, make the most of those eyes!


Rule #4 – Stick To The Minimalist Look
Like we said before, the shades you choose can either make or break your eyeshadow look. Maintaining a balance is key. While too much eyeshadow can make your eyes look heavy, using too little can barely be seen. So, go minimalist, especially in the brow bone area. You may also want to consider your outfit for the day and when you do so, stick to a shade or two lighter. Try it out yourself because you’re never going to regret it.
Rule #5 – One For The Saturday Night Party
Saturday nights are all about partying with your best people and no matter what you want to look your best. Who knows, maybe there’s a cutie waiting to buy you a drink ;). Long story short, if you want to look gorgeous at a party, even with your glasses on, here’s what you could do. Using an eye pencil, preferably of a warmer shade, line your upper lash line. It need not be straight because you’re going to smudge it out. Next, pick an eyeshadow of a similar shade using an eyeshadow shader brush and repeat. The eyeshadow builds up the intensity and the result is a sexy sultry look. Try to keep it as soft and subtle as possible.
