The ten tips

Make-up that works with your frames

1. Dark frames, bold lipsPair dark frames with bold lips, in red or burgundy, for a striking look.
2. Don't neglect your browsYour glasses frame your eyes, but your eyebrows frame your glasses.
3. Line up the flickLine up the flick of your cat-eye with the top corner of your glasses, for symmetry.
4. Prime firstGlasses can slide down a little when your skin is oily. An eyeshadow primer before your other make-up can help.
5. Soften the shadowFrames can cast a shadow under your eyes. A yellow-toned concealer can counter it.
6. Choose matte shadowsMatte shadows help to soften your eyes through the lenses.
7. Match your coloured framesColoured frames look even better when they are coordinated with your make-up.
8. Volume, not lengthA volumising mascara, rather than a lengthening one, helps to prevent smudging on your lenses.
9. Curl your lashesAn eyelash curler can keep your lashes from touching your lenses.
10. Bigger frames, bigger canvasThe bigger your frames, the more of a canvas you have to work with. Treat your eyes as a work of art.
