Wear your glasses well.
Glasses are amazing.
Not only do they allow you to, y’know, see – they can make even the most dull witted person look quite intelligent and stylish too! Read on for a few tips on how to wear glasses well – as well as a chance to win Specsaver’s ‘Spectacle Wearer of the Year 2010′ award!

- De-puff those eyes. Since the focus of your face becomes your eyes when wearing glasses, make sure you take care of them. Try refridgerating an eye gel that you can use in the morning before putting on your glasses – this will help to both de-puff your eyes and moisturise them slightly so that they look a little younger/fresher.

- Dark circles be gone! If you have dark circles, glasses may magnify the problem. Try using a little bit of illuminator underneath them to brighten up the area. The YSL Touche Eclat is a perfect option; it’s very light, easy to use, very natural looking and comes in a brush applicatior. Just swipe a few dabs underneath both of your eyes and blend away using your ring fingers – sleep in a tube!

| Yup, glasses are hot. |
- Buy the right shape. When choosing frames, take the shape of your face into consideration. A pair of glasses can really alter the way your face looks and you want it to look better, not worse! The general rule of thumb is to go for something that has the opposite shape to your face. So if you face is quite round, go for square frames. Similarly if you have a square face, something oval shaped will help to soften up your face a bit. Try using this interactive tutorial to find the best shape for you – it’s important!
- Don’t forget your brows! Your brows are already a focal point of your face and this is amplified when you’re wearing glasses. Make sure your brows are well groomed and run a brow comb through them before you leave the door – it’ll make the world of difference.
