"I love when glasses wearers rock a flick eyeliner," says makeup artist Elle Leary. "It shows off the shape of your eyes under your glasses so nicely. It also adds a little flirty edge to your look!"
The singer paired her large glasses with winged cat eyeliner and bright red lipstick.

"Highlighting will become your best friend," explains Leary. "Try putting it under your brow bone and on the inside corner of your eye to make your eyes stand out."
Elle looks angelic with her bright, dewy complexion. Her wire frames almost disappear against her perfectly highlighted skin.

"Stick with water-resistant or waterproof eyeliners and mascara, so your makeup stays in place throughout the day," says Leary. And don't forget to pump up the volume! "Curl your eyelashes and use volumizing mascara to emphasize them—black is best," advises makeup artist Agostina Lombardo.
The actress often wears minimal makeup, but her lashes are always in fine form.

"If you wear thick, large, black, or brightly colored frames, you'll want to use more muted colors for your eyeshadow," suggests Lombardo. "Conversly, if you wear neutral color frames or frameless glasses, you can go bolder and brighter with your shadow colors."
The Pretty Little Liars star has some serious thick black frames, so her barely-there shadow doesn't over-complicate the look.

"Since you already have a statement eye with your glasses, a nice flush of peach on your cheeks and stained rosy lip will be the perfect compliment," explains Leary.
The Les Miserables star looks beautiful with a hint of blush and peachy lip gloss.

"Frame your face with a nice structured brow," says Leary. "This way, where your glasses end won't just blend to your hairline. Think of it as a frame for your eyes and glasses."
The Gossip Girl actress has brows that sit just above her frames and aren't cut too short.
