Face Charts / Brown Smoky Eye for Glasses

I’m back with another makeup post before I get into why I haven’t been keeping current on the blog. I hope to update more regularly but I will get into that tomorrow. Now let’s look at some pretty makeup…
I’m still adjusting to applying eye makeup for days that I need or want to wear my glasses. I have tried applying it with my contacts in and then taking them out (which results in lots of smudging) and wearing nothing when applying it (which forces me to be thisclose to the mirror) and I am still not sure which works best for me. What I do know is that I am loving wearing deep sparkly browns with my frames.
The Look:
Products Used: UDPP, Urban Decay Naked Palette, MAC Pigment in Chocolate Brown and Antique Bronze, MAC Liquidlast Liner, Urban Decay 24/7 Pencil
Overall, this is my favorite way to wear what I guess I would call a lot of shadow for someone who has such prominent eyeglasses. It’s just sparkly enough to be seen and I get my dose of color in with deep liners especially since I will wear one on my top lash line and a brighter one on my waterline. I’m still figuring out how I can wear my rainbow looks more readily and easily without looking too absurd but I have not yet come up with anything that is worth sharing. Next week I will be experimenting a lot so I hope to show results soon.
While I have still been searching around online, do any of you guys who do wear makeup and glasses daily have any tips? I think the issue I have (while I find it to be a great issue to have!) is that I have blue eyes and so many of these beautiful ladies who do tutorials have brown eyes so these looks well, look so different on my then them. ..

I wear makeup and glasses almost daily and I have blue eyes. I guess my tip is to just do what you want! I never thought about changing my makeup depending on whether I'm wearing my glasses or not...I do tend to wear more warm colors though if that helps...oranges/pinks/bronze/gold. I think they make the blue pop more.
