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.

XOXO

"Turn the page, continue reading, and let the next story begin...”

I guess when starting a blog, you should preface the "why" factor. And its simple, to document. But to document the here and now, I should probably take you back to the where I have been...

Currently I am sitting at my desk job with an hour left. I have three more days in the lovely Charleston, SC before I graduate with my Masters of Art in Biology. I have five more days before I move back to the Midwest, two weeks of freedom- and a birthday, and then I begin my research and PhD at Mizzou. Whooo! But the nostalgia is starting to kick in. I have spent the past six years in Charleston. My undergrad, at The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina was the best and worst experience of my life, challenging me more than I ever thought possible. But despite its difficulties, I would do it again, with a smile on my face. I have made life long friends and family. Because of research work, I continued my education onto my graduate degree. I wasn't quite ready to let go and move forward. Two years later, as I say goodbye to mentors, second and third "dads", and friends. I know that the Citadel has changed me for the better... But I need to "turn the page, continue reading, and let the next story begin."
