Hi, my name is Jamie Hoover with FaceItJamie.com, and I will be showing you how to apply eye makeup with glasses. The tools that you will need for this look are, eye shadows and an eyeshadow brush, as well as an eyeliner. To get started, you want to take your glasses and put them at the edge of your nose. First tool we will take is, a light all-over eyeshadow color. You're going to look into the mirror through your glasses, and apply your eyeshadow all over the lid. This gives you room to work and it enables you to see in the mirror. Take it all the way up to the brow. Typically, if you wear glasses, it's hard to see eyeshadow through the glasses. So, I like to pick a color that's going to kind of, pop and you'll be able to see it through. So, I'm going to choose, like a light blue and just apply it on the lid. I'm just going to kind of pat it along the lash line. See how that color pops through the glasses. And last tool, is your eyeliner, and apply your eyeliner right along the lash line. This will give the eyes a little bit of definition through your glasses. Then, take it to the bottom, just go ahead and prop them up, and get along the bottom of your lash line. And as you can see, my eyes are done, you can see it right through the glasses. My name is Jamie Hoover with FaceItJamie.com, and that was how to apply eye makeup with glasses. We used eye shadows and eyeshadow brush with an eyeliner. I hope you enjoyed it, thank you for watching.
