Applying eye makeup for glasses

Some people who wear glasses find it difficult to determine the best way to wear eye makeup.  I think it is because some eyeglasses create an optical illusion making eyes seem smaller or larger than what they are.  Look in the mirror to determine the size of your eyes behind your glasses.  I am going to show different ways to wear your makeup.

If you appear to have smaller eyes, apply a light eyeshadow of your choice unto the eyelids then highlight your brow bone.  Apply white eyeliner onto your water line. Put a thin line above your lash line up top with a dark eyeliner.  Put the same dark liner just below your lash line on the bottom, this will make your eyes look much bigger.  Use a voluminous mascara and try to stay away from the lengthening kind so that your eyelashes don't touch your glasses.

If you appear to have larger eyes, apply a dark eyeshadow of your choice unto the eyelids. Apply dark eyeliner above the lash line up top and not on bottom but if you do, put it on the water line (I have to put it on because my water line has eyeliner tattooed). Apply voluminous mascara, this is optional because mascara really opens your eyes making your eyes appear larger.

Don't forget to add some color to your shaped eyebrows.  If you want, add plenty of color to your lids to really bring out your eyes if your glasses are rimless. 

Hope this helps!
