Anybody who knows me knows that I'm blind as a bat. Seriously, the eye doctors can't even get me to see 20/20 anymore. I can't tell you how many times I've gone to optometrists and heard the surprise in their voice when they give me that initial vision test and I can only see the big "E" on the top. I'm not even sure if I can actually see it anymore or if I've just memorized it at this point. And it's complete hell trying to put on makeup without contacts in. And by "trying to put makeup on", I mean poking myself in the eye with whatever brush or pencil I have in my hand. And you don't want to know what kind of liner monstrosity I end up with on my lash line. But I like wearing my glasses and don't want to be restricted from wearing makeup just because of that. This is why I decided to do a glasses look for you guys. Not one of those "what makeup looks good with glasses" type of post but instead a "how to avoid stabbing yourself in the eye 50 times and not look like a 3-year old scribbled on your lid" type of post. Read on for info on how I got this look, list of products, and tips for applying makeup with glasses if you can't see more than 3 inches in front of you!
FACT: this post was supposed to be up early New Year's Eve Day, but I ended up running a lot of errands and making dinner for my family last night so I just didn't get around to it. However, I think this can apply to many different occasions. This is my go-to look whenever I originally have no plans for the night but change my mind or get asked out at the last minute. Typically, I spend a larger amount of time on "going out, dance my ass off makeup" than I do for daytime looks because 1) it has to be built to last since I party like a rockstar lol and 2) I prefer to go all out on the drama since I can't do it during the day. But when I'm going out at the last minute, I don't necessarily have the time. This eye look gives me the ease and quickness I need to get out the door while still packing heat with shimmery/smoky drama. And as an added plus, it's neutral enough to pair with any bright lip you want to do (or natural/nude lip if you prefer). Read on for more pics, tips, and list of products!
