Just because you wear glasses doesn't mean you have to skip out on the glam.

There are some makeup looks that look totally gorge paired with frames that make your eyes pop. Check them out below.

Thick Cat Eye

There's something so '50s and retro about a pair of thick frames paired with an even thicker cat eye, don't ya think? A thick cat eye really pops, even behind your frames, and it totally goes with any outfit.

Bright Lids

A pop of bright color can go a long way when you wear glasses. Chose a shade that makes your eyes stand out. You can go for an all-over shadow, or just a wash of color with a vibrant eyeliner.

Bold Lipstick

Can anyone go wrong with a bold lip? The beauty of having glasses is that you can get away with wearing eye makeup less often and you can really play up your pout with fun, bright colors. Extra points if your frames and lips match.

Don't Skip the Concealer

Even though it might feel like your under eyes are covered up thanks to your frames, the shadow caused by your glasses can actually accentuate under-eye circles and bags. Our tip: Never skip out on the concealer, especially if you're going to be in a place with really harsh overhead lighting.

Seal Your Skin With a Pressed Powder

Anyone who's worn glasses knows that face makeup can be quite pesky with glasses. It rubs off on your frames and usually leaves you with two little red spots on the sides of your nose. A good way to reduce the amount of rub-off is by setting your foundation with a translucent powder.
