Friiiiiday Faaaavvooriitteeess.....JUST KIDDING.. Makeup with Glasses

So I had a busy week at work and that left for little else... so I didn't want to just repeat Friday favorites since my favorites all have to do with immunohistochemistry, etc. Fun stuff! I know. So I decided to do a post about wearing makeup with glasses. I wear glasses, not contacts. I cannot see far away so I wear them when I am driving and sometimes I just wear them all day. I didn't start wearing glasses until I was 18, so I learned early on that when wearing glasses, you should darken your makeup. Glasses tend to swallow up your face, so by adding a little more drama to your eyes, you are drawing the focus back to your eyes and not your glasses. Here is how I normally wear my makeup with glasses....

Glasses without makeup...

And after makeup.. I emphasize a little color on my lids and a coral lip liner and lip gloss on my lips. 

 

For my makeup, I used the Naked2 Palette. I highlighted under my brows and inner corners. I darkened my crease with a darker brown and winged out my eyeliner. Please note: make sure your eyebrows are tweezed or waxed and shaped to compliment your glasses.  

 

Have a great weekend.

Everyday Look

The past two weeks have been nice staying at my parents house. I haven't had any real engagements that resulted in getting really dressed up. Also because most of my belongings are still in boxes, I have been trying to keep things to the bare minimum. This has become my makeup regiment and comfortably casual outfit that still looks put together.

Before Makeup: I wash my face with Cetaphil Gentle Wash or Yes to Tomatoes facial scrub

Pat dry my face

 

 

I love Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer. I wear Nude.

Post Moisturizer. Not a full coverage but nice even look.

Then I like to add NYX concealer to my undereye area and any blemishes that are still visible. Since I am not adding foundation because of the summer heat, I want to make sure its very blended.

 



I follow up my concealer with a little bit of PIXI Beauty Bronzer in Subtly Suntouched (Thank you IPSY for this!) And a swipe of Suspect on my crease and Bootycall on my lid from my NAKED2 palette. I finish off with Maybelline Falsies Mascara in Black Drama.

 

The Finished look.

 

 

 And my Outfit of the day. A grey oversized top from Forever 21. White Skinnies from Forever 21 as well. A Brahmin bag. And Shoes from Target.
