Line Those Eyes

Lenses can do two things to your eyes, depending on your prescription. They can either make your eyes look larger (if you’re farsighted), or make them look smaller (if you’re nearsighted). If your eyes look a little too large, soften them by applying black or brown eyeliner to your waterline, says celebrity makeup artist Edward Cruz. If your eyes look small, “brighten your eyes with a white eyeliner on the inner rim,” he says.

And if you want to add a little pop to your eyes, try colored eyeliner. “Sometimes your look can get hidden behind the glasses,” says Taylor. “Forgo the dark black or brown eyeliner and try a purple, navy, or green color,” she says.
