Stick to less makeup – If you are using eyeshadow, go for soft neutral eyeshades. If you are natural shades, it will enable your eyes to stand out more behind the glasses. However if you are using dark shades on the eyes it can  make the eyes look smaller. If possible invest in some good quality cream based eyeshadows with a bit of shimmer in it. They are perfect for makeup for eyeglass wearers.

Go for bold lip color – As you would be using neutral shades on your eyes, give your lips a bold shade. This will balance the makeup, and brighten the entire face. Also to make this fun and interesting, choose a lip color which matches the color of your eyeglass frame. For black frames, you can opt for cherry red lip color or bright pink. If the frame is tortoise shelled, then light plum and or Bordeaux would be great choices. Don’t go to extreme if you are not sure of it, but playing a bit with color on the lips would be worth the try!

Don’t forget eyeliner – The trick to apply eyeliner correctly is to measure the thickness of eyeliner as per with the frame. If the eyeglass frame is thick, go for thicker eyeliner. And if the frame is thin, then go for thinner line of eyeliner. Instead of pencil eyeliner, go for gel liner. The gel liner got a long staying power usually and also the pigmentation is intense, so it can be visible behind the lenses easily.

Mascara power – You can skip almost all of the eye makeup but mascara! Mascara enhances the eyes the most particularly if you wear eyeglasses. Use thickening mascara which will separate the lashes and add volume to the eyelashes. If your eyes water, then apply mascara only on the upper eyelashes. This wont smear and smudge the makeup.

Apply blush softly to add definition to the face – To add a healthy beautiful glow on your face, nothing works better than blush, be it cream or powder blush. It will enhance the cheekbones and also highlight it. Blush wont make the face look flat. Start applying the blush from the apples of the cheekbones and then go upwards using a blush brush.

Wearing sunglasses to protect from sun rays by being fashionable too is sometimes difficult. You must know which shade and frame make you look awesome. No matter what you have, whether a branded one or non branded one, try to keep your sunglasses free of any finger prints and scratches.

• Heart shaped faces: The sunglasses must add width to the lower part of the face and draw attention to it. You can sport a round framed or one like cat’s eyes along with wide arms to make your forehead look narrower.
• Square shaped faces: Sunglasses which are fashion forward with creative styles can be used to soften the prominent features of a square face. Don’t chose angled frame but opt for round or oval frames. Sharp geometric shapes are a big no-no to you. Narrow out of proportion frames are also better avoided.
• Round shaped face: If you have a round face then you must choose exactly the opposite of that for square shaped ones. Go for an angular looking frame which sharpens your fuller cheeks and add length to the face.
• Oval shaped face: You have a balanced proportion and can start to play with any frames you want. All styles look great on an oval face but still can be played by using soft angular frames.
• Oblong shaped face: You have a little long face with narrow cheek and chin. To flatter these features you can choose a very wide sized style.
• Diamond shaped face: Those with diamond shaped face have a narrow eye line, small forehead, tapered chin with prominent cheek bones. The best style for you is the upswept ones like cat’s eye. An oval and rimless styled frame is also great.
• Triangular shaped face: Dramatic cheek and chin with narrow forehead and eye line demands for an oversized frame which draws attention to eyes by balancing the lower width and accentuating your face. Narrow frames are to be avoided.

To match your personal style and taste, there are varieties of eyeglasses. But when you visit an optical store you get confused by seeing such a huge stock of eyeglasses – you cant choose the right one for yourself. But next time you visit a store, you wont be giving that perplexed gaze ; with the tips given below, i am pretty sure your eyewear shopping will be breezy easy.

Frame Type : While choosing the frame, consider your complexion, hair color, face shape. If you are going to wear the eyeglasses all the time, or only when you go out or while you are at work, chose the frame accordingly.

Ask the salesperson to assist you, by telling your requirements. Also tell the salesperson, what kind of eyeglasses frame you are looking for – whether it should be bold and statement ones, or conservative delicate ones.

Comfort: Dont just go by the look of the eyeglasses, comfort of the eyewear also matters. If a frame looks very cool, but when you wear it, you don’t feel comfortable in it, then lets face it - it is not a good buy. If you buy a nice looking pair of eyeglasses and keep it in your drawer most of the time, the eyewear is definitely not the worth of the money you spent.

So just remember the few points mentioned below -

·         The frame should not be sliding off your nose.

·         The front of the frame should not be too wide and should fit your nose.

·         The nose pads should be comfortable for your nose.

Durability : It is another factor which you should keep in mind. Obviously you don’t need eyeglasses which wont even last for two to three months. At times it is very difficult for the customers to differentiate between well-made frames and poorly constructed ones as generally all the frames have a nice finishing. So it is better to seek the advice of the salesperson or the optician.

Wardrobe : For women, their wardrobes are integral parts of their lives. We, women are so particular when it comes to outer looks. So before going for shopping eyewear, have a look at your wardrobe. Check out the outfits that you generally wear – whether they are casual or formal or girly, also take a note of the colors in your wardrobe.

If you own feminine girly dresses, and that too mostly in pastel or light shades, then its better to go for some feminine pastel shaded frames.

If the majority of clothes in your wardrobe belong to the formal category, i would suggest you to pick up something in black or browns, and the frame should not be too thin or too thick.

If you love wearing casual outfits, you can choose frames of any colors, keeping in mind the colors of outfits you have. Try to find out one common base color, which will be complementary to most of the outfits.

Choosing eyeglasses for a teenager is a cumbersome task. Because while choosing eyeglasses for a teen we should not only keep in mind the latest trends and styles, but also it should be able to survive despite the rough handling of the teens.

Eye examination : Go for a complete eye examination from an eye doctor who will also give you a prescription. According to the prescription, the eyeglasses might change. Like if you have a strong prescription, you wont be able to take a very thin framed eyeglasses.

Eyeglasses style : Next thing you should consider, is the style of eyeglasses you like. If you take any eyeglasses overlooking the style, and later you come to realize, the particular style does not suit you or it is outdated, then the eyeglasses will end up dwelling peacefully in your closet or bag without any usage. If you really need eyeglasses for proper vision, then you must wear the eyeglasses every day, instead of keeping it inside your bag. So choose the eyeglasses properly.

Eyeglasses frame : You can get a variety of frames made up from different materials like metal, plastic etc. Metal frames are generally thinner, while you can get a lot of colored plastic frames in different styles and shapes. For metal frames generally we can get gold, silver or bronze color frames.

The shape of the frame should complement the shape of the face, but at times the shape of frames is limited by the lens type you choose.

The color of the frame should also complement your complexion and hair color. Buy such eyeglasses frame which will go with most of the outfits you wear generally.

Lens of the eyeglasses : If you are into sports, you are better off buying a polycarbonate lens, as they are resistant to rough handling and wont break easily. However you can get a variety of shapes if you are going to buy glass lenses or plastic lenses.

In case you have a strong prescription, you can go for high-index lenses instead of thick lenses, but ask your doctor before you purchase. High index lenses are known as aspheric lenses, they are light and thinner.

Tints and coating of eyeglass lens : Buying prescription eyeglasses and a pair of sunglasses separately is not pocket friendly, so having photochromic lens for your eyeglass is the best solution which is affordable also. So whenever you go out, your photochromic lens will automatically get dark, while when you are indoor, you will have anormal eyeglasses. So you wont have to take one pair of eyeglasses and a sunglasses separately.

Tinted lenses are quite fashionable. But remember to choose a light tint for the eyeglasses so that you can use it both indoors and outdoors.

Before making a final purchase, make sure to browse through the variety of eyeglasses available in the optical stores. Only by trying different sets of eyeglasses on yourself, you can find out what looks best on you. You can also assistance from the salesperson in the shop.

We have asked ourselves - which colored frame would be suitable for me? But the question kept on echoing in our minds, with no definite answers. And then, we have chosen such frames which we realized to be not so perfect when came back home and tried on ourselves. At least that happened to me many a times, what about you?

These days we get a variety of colors in eyeglasses frames. Ranging from single colored or toned glasses like reds and blacks and purples, to multiple colored blended frames of eyeglasses. However we must keep one thing in mind always that, if we want to choose a flattering frame for our eyeglasses, we must consider our skin complexion, hair color, as well as various other factors.

a)      Skin Tone : First and foremost, think of your own skin tone. Ask yourself – is your skin complexion warm toned or cool toned?

If you are warm toned with yellow or peachy undertones, go for eyeglasses frames in golden, brown, or bluish turquoise colors.

If you are cool toned with pink undertones, go for black, silver, purple or grey colored frames of eyeglasses.

b)      Hair Color : Keep in mind your hair color and choose the eyeglasses frame accordingly for yourself.

 

If your hair color is black, light blonde, greyish, you would be looking best with eyeglasses having frames of pink, grey, light blue colors.

 

If your hair color is darker, like dark brown, dark red then go for brown, golden, khaki, copper frames.

c)       Eye Color : Pay attention to your eye color. Yes your color of the eyes should also compliment the eyeglasses frame color.

If your eye color is in the blue and/or bluish families you are cool toned, so choose the color, according to the suggestions provided above.

If your eye color falls in the brown and/or brownish colors, then you are warm toned.

Also you can go by your eye color, like if you have bluish eyes or light blue eyes, you can opt for light blue frames for the eyeglasses.

d)      Color of your wardrobe : Your eyeglasses frame should also compliment the color of your outfits.

If you wear pastel shade outfits, then you can buy light pink or plum shades of eyeglasses frames.

If you love wearing black or white or grey outfits, then you can choose a red colored frame.

However to be safe, you can keep a black or white framed eyeglasses, as they go well with any colored outfits.

e)      Rimless glasses : If you still cant decide on which colored frame of eyeglasses you should invest in, then play safe and buy rimless eyeglasses.

Before your bill is finalised and invoice is printed, make sure you have tried on yourself as many types of eyeglasses you could lay your hands on, and you have tried various colored frames on yourself. Only by trying so many eyeglasses you would probably be able to choose the right eyeglasses frame for yourself.

Before I end the post, I would like to add, that though trendy colored frames like yellow or bright red or mauves can look very attractive, but remember that they wont go with all types and colors of outfits. Therefore you need to have different color frames for different occasions and outfits. So if you can afford to buy many pairs of eyeglasses, then only go ahead and buy trendy colored frames of eyeglasses.
