I’m languishing on my sick bed today, so in an attempt to cheer myself I put on a pretty face. Sadly it didn’t work and I’m still feeling sorry for myself, but I managed to snap some photos. Always the pro.
This is the makeup I wear day in, day out. I like to switch up my lipstick (sometimes it’s a Topshop Rio Rio day – amirite?) and swap brown for black in the eyeshadow department, but I’m a creature of habit.
I love big specs (like these Orla Kiely ones) so I try to balance them out with soft makeup. A light, matte base (here I’m wearing Nearly Nude by Revlon which I LOVE) teamed with pink cheeks (Topshop’s Flushed), smoky eyes (courtesy of the Naked 2 palette and a YEARS old Barry M kohl pencil) and a pop of lip colour – Topshop’s Ooh La La.
A fresh, simple everyday look means I can wear the boldest of frames without fear of looking too… ‘too’. What do you think – how do you balance your glasses with your makeup?
You look really pretty! 😀
Great post!

I must pick up the Nearly Naked foundation! I don’t really think about balancing my glasses and makeup- I guess because I’m constantly taking them off and putting them back on again! x

You babe.
I need new specs, and LOVE your frames my friend. I’m booking the eye test and will be using your makeup classes to help me along the way. 🙂

You look so fresh faced and lovely Jen!
I need my glasses for using the computer so I’m usually in them between 9-5 everyday and find mascara a bloomin nightmare with my glasses. Which do you use?

I need glasses full time, and I always experiment with my eye make up – depending on the frame.
I don’t really let my glasses determine my make up though, just go for what I fancy 🙂
Great tips 🙂

I love the lip colour on you. When I wear my glasses I tend to tone down my eye make up and just go for a simple and light eyeshadow and a bit of mascara then go for a bold lip colour. If I’m wearing my contacts I love a smokey eye xx
