Hey guys, it's Wengie here! Welcome back to my channel, and today is all about glasses!
So I'm gonna be teaching you how to pick your frames, and I'm also going to be showing some really
important tips for makeup when you're wearing glasses. Hey guys, I'm shooting in Manila right now for a
reality show. This is actually really exciting, but I just wanna let you guys know that this is a paid
advertisement, full disclosure guys, and let's get on with the video!
First, the shape of the frames are probably the most important part. A good rule to remember is
pick a shape that contrasts to your natural face shape. Round faces look better in squares frames,
as it adds and emphasizes angular features of your face, square faces are complimented by round frames
as it softens and focuses your eyes on the rounder features. Longer faces have more length.
You suit frames that are taller in height which balances out the vertical lines. To make a shorter face appear
longer, you basically just pick a shorter frame. A really good rule of thumb is to remember the frames should
sit underneath your eyebrows, as well as above your cheekbones, unless you're going for a really unique shape.
With a few frames that are also super important, a frame that is too wide can make your eyes look really
close together, which is completely unflattering. A frame too narrow can make your face seem
wider. Just need to try on a bunch of frames and probably take selfies with them. When you find the right
one, you'll know. Lighter frames are more comfortable, 1001 Optical Piovino frames that are incredibly light
you can bend these frames over 180 degrees and even step on them without breaking them. Seriously
the first time I saw this, I didn't believe it. These frames are perfect if you're a complete clutz like me.
And if you wanna find out how to get a free pair of these from 1001 Optical, please stay til the end of the video.
For people like me with low nose bridges, often our frames sit on our cheeks and move when we
smile. This is because the nose piece is too low. Piovino frames have higher nose bridges to suit
an Asian face, which is why they're worn by k-pop stars all over Korea. Pick an optical store that can
customize the nose piece for you, this is so important because you want these frames to sit properly.
I have a pair of lenses that are amazing because they cut out all the harmful blue light that comes from
screens and LCD monitors. In addition, you wanna consider the UV protection coating. Or you can buy a
pair of glasses that are convertible into sunnies. I honesty think these ones are so cute by Piovino and I've
never seen a funkier pair of convertible sunnie glasses.
I love natural makeup when it comes to glasses, so I'll teach you a natural brown smokey makeup
look to wear with your glasses. First of all, apply a light watery base foundation so it doesn't smear on your
frames. Thick and oily foundations causes so much trouble when it gets on your lenses. Glasses can
also cast a shadow, making your under eyes and cheekbones appear darker. Apply a lighter coloured
concealer underneath your eyes where your glasses sit, in a triangle. Next find out where your glasses touch your
face and make sure you blend out these areas with a damp sponge, so that the makeup applied to these areas
aren't too thick and then use a face to lightly powder this area to set it, because you want the makeup to sit
on your face and not your glasses. Now eyebrows are visually emphasized when you wear glasses, so clean
brows are a must and really frame your frames. Ha, excuse the pun. I'm just using a brow pencil to
draw clean lines. A really good thing to remember is the thicker your frames, the bolder your brows can be, and
the thinner frames suit a soft and more natural brow. Also, the more angular your glasses are, think of having
a more angular brow to compliment them. Finish off with a brow gel to keep your brow hairs in place all day.
Apply an eyeshadow primer before your shadow because you don't want your eye makeup to come off
and smear on your lenses, especially if you have oily lids like me. Then apply a skin coloured matte shadow
on top of the primer so that our eye shadows blend well over and don't just catch and stick on the primer. Apply a
medium matte brown all over your lids. I prefer more matte neutral shades as it looks very natural underneath
glasses. Now take a blending brush and blend out the edges of the colour you've just applied. Now apply a
darker matte brown on your lash line. Take a medium brown and apply this close to the lower lash line as well
for some definition. Now apply a highlighting colour to your lower waterline and your inner corners to
brighten up your eyes and then take the same colour and apply it on your brow bone, blending it down.
Next take a dark brown pencil liner and upper define the upper waterline and your lash line, extending out slightly.
Thicker frames actually call for thicker and bolder liner, whereas I have thin frames so I wanted to keep my liner
subtle, as well as the lower lash line. Also, placing the pencil liner below your waterline makes your eyes look
rounder, whereas placing your pencil on the waterline will actually make your eyes look thinner. Now
you don't want your lashes to stick on your lenses and smear, so we're going to have to our curl our lashes
well before applying mascara. If your lenses are too close to your eyes, it may be because the nose piece is
too low for you. A taller nose piece ensures that your glasses sit further away from your lashes. Use a
waterproof mascara so that it doesn't smear during the day. Again, the thicker the frame, the thicker your lashes
will need to be to balance out the look. Now you wanna apply highlighters where the frame casts shadows on
your face. Put your frames on and apply a highlighter on your cheekbones where it covers it up, blending
towards your temple, forehead, nose bridge, cupids bow, and chin. Basically where you normally apply
a highlighter. Wearing glasses may also put a high emphasis on your nose, so contouring and shaping this
can really enhance your look. Put your frames on and contour your nose bridge where it's showing,
this means you don't put too much product on the places where your frames touch your face, as well as
putting more contour on places where a shadow will be cast by your frames. I also like to contour where my
nose meets my cheeks to make the area look thinner, as well as below my nostrils to shorten my nose.
Now take your glasses off and blend your contour to the areas cover by glasses so that we don't put too
much product there. Contouring the rest of your face is also personal preference, but my frames are angular so
I like to use it to make my cheekbones look more angular to match. Keeping the frames on gives me a
great guide on how it will look when I'm wearing it. It's also useful to see where to apply more highlighter as
well. I'm adding more highlighter in the areas underneath the arms of my glasses because they can
also cast a slight shadow there so emphasizing this place can make your cheekbones pop and look amazing.
Blush placement is also important to do with your frames on. Your blush should sit in the middle of your
face, with the stronger colour being applied at the bottom of your frames so they show. This ensures that
that the blush colour can be seen while you're wearing your glasses, I'm also using a peachy coral colour
that suits our brown makeup, blending the blush out from this placement. The lips are also a huge focal point
when wearing glasses, and coral peachy tones for the lips are very natural and flattering for thinner frames like
mine. Bold frames are very flattering with bold lip colours so you may consider that option as well.
I'm using a lip liner to get a clean lip line, and a peachy colour lip gloss to finish off the look.
I'm also contouring the edge of my forehead because I forgot to do this earlier, and it can really help make your
forehead appear thinner. So yeah, that's it, we're done!
1001 Optical is giving you a free pair of frames if you get your lenses prescribed in store, and you can also
