I will be wearing my glasses on my wedding day, as I need glasses to see, have worn glasses daily for years, and do not wear contacts. My glasses are dark tortoise shell plastic frames with smallish oval lenses. My glasses have a trendy\/bookish feel and I love them. However, I am looking for specific tips for hair and makeup styling for wearing glasses. For example, I have small eyes to begin with and I don’t want my eyes to be totally lost in the photographs.<\/p>\n
I have long wavy brown hair with subtle highlights. I think my face shape would be considered oval (my jaw is angular, not sure how I would characterize my forehead). My skin tone is light-medium. My dress is ivory lace and the neckline is a bateau neckline with 3\/4 sleeves that are a little off the shoulder.<\/p>\n
I’m leaning towards a half-up\/half-down ‘do or an updo with loose curls. I tend to prefer a more natural makeup look, but I wouldn’t mind going a bit more dramatic for the wedding. Are there any special considerations that I should keep in mind since I’ll be wearing glasses? Thank you, I very much appreciate the input. <\/p>\n
Hi Deena<\/p>\n
Wearing glasses and make up for the wedding day shouldn’t be a problem unless its quite a hot day in which case i would recommend using a light powder for the bridge of your nose to stop the glasses slipping. To emphasise your eyes use a deep colour such as a brown on the upper eye lid and a touch of eyeliner just halfway under the lower lash line. If you have very long lashes i would opt for a clear mascara or have your lashes tinted. Lengthening mascaras can make the lashes touch the lenses and become irritating. Use a mineral based make up to give a flawless but natural look and add colour to your lips in a pink or peach tone to compliment your skin tone.<\/p>\n
You don’t say how you would normally wear your hair? A dress that style would look lovely with your hair in an updo. Have a trial session to see how comfortable you feel with the hair and make up first. Take along a photo of the dress with you so the make up artist and stylist know what your’re wearing on the wedding day.<\/p>\n
Have a wonderful wedding!<\/p>\n

Makeup:
\nYou should enhance your eyes to make them stand out from behind the glasses. Use a darker liner both on-top and on the bottom (softening the edges with a Q-Tip)with alot of mascara (applied in layers & combed out for a natural effect). Don’t do too much with shadow. Since your eyes are small, use a neautral color (eggshell, champagne or soft gold perhaps) on the entire lid. Glasses will reflect in pictures, so stay away from irradecent colors.<\/p>\n
Hair:
\nSleeker or simpler styles work best with glasses. Think of your glasses as the main accessory. Overly complicated hairstyles can overwhelm or look out-of-whack when coupled with thicker glasses; particularly if you’re wearing a tiara or headpiece. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
