If you're a woman who wears glasses, and you also happen to have long eyelashes, then you're probably familiar with the frustration of smudging your glasses every time you blink. Luckily, there are several ways to prevent this from happening.
1. Change Your Eyelash Routine
One possible solution is to change up your eyelash routine. If you wear false lashes, try a slightly shorter style that won't interfere with your glasses as much. You can also use an eyelash curler to redirect your natural lashes away from your lenses.
2. Experiment with Your Mascara
Another option is to experiment with different mascara formulas and application techniques. Look for lightweight formulas less likely to clump or run across your lenses. Apply just enough mascara to enhance your lashes without creating excess product buildup.
3. Remove Your Glasses Slowly
When taking off your glasses, be sure to do so slowly and carefully using both hands. Gently lift them off each ear and away from your face to avoid accidentally smudging them with any remaining makeup residue on the frame or lens surface.
4. Check Your Measurements
It's also important to ensure that your glasses' fit isn't too close or tight against your face. If they are, try adjusting the nose pads or temple arms accordingly.
5. Opt for Shorter Lashes
For those who wear false lashes, we first recommend opting for shorter styles that won't come into contact with the lenses as much. If necessary, gently curl longer lashes upwards using an eyelash curler to help keep them out of harm's way.
6. Choose Less Dense Lashes
Next is choosing less dense lash bands- unless it's a special occasion where more drama might be required! Opting for fewer lash fibers on each band strip will minimize contact between lashes and lenses and make them look more natural.
7. Opt for Curly Lashes
Lastly, go for falsies with dramatic curls that point upward instead of outward. The curlier the lashes, the less likely they will hit your glasses. And if you still find that your lashes are getting in the way of your specs, use an eyelash curler to curl them up and away from your lenses manually.
Following these simple tips and tricks, you can quickly wear glasses without sacrificing style or comfort- even if you have long eyelashes!
