Open Up Your Eyes "Glasses can create a dark shadow around your eyes and dramatic shades can make them look even smaller," explains Kristen Fortier, makeup artist and product development manager at Crunchi Cosmetics. Open them up with simple, light eyeshadows. "Place a neutral shimmer on the eyelid and a bronzer or contouring shade in the crease. Only apply eyeliner on the top lash line to brighten and widen your eyes."
Flake-Proof Your Lashes There is nothing worse than the tips of your lashes brushing against your lenses-then rubbing your mascara off and into your eyes. Solve it by curling your lashes and applying a coat of waterproof mascara. Once it's dry, use a clean mascara spoolie to comb through lashes, removing any loose particles, suggests Stila Cosmetics global beauty director Charlie Riddle.
