Can You Wear False Eyelashes with Glasses?

False eyelashes can be worn with glasses, but it is best to consult your optometrist first.

They may have specific recommendations for you based on your prescription and the type of lenses you wear.

Your optometrist may have recommendations for you based on your prescription and the type of lenses you wear.

However, if you’re interested in wearing false lashes, following a few tips is ideal to ensure everything fits right. Remember the process will be a bit different if you’re using magnetic or glue lashes.

Setting the Lashes

First, apply your lash glue directly to the base of your lashes (where they attach to the base). Then, let it dry completely before using them. You want them to stick securely without causing any discomfort or irritation while they are drying out!

Take off your glasses when you’re applying the false lashes. You need to ensure there’s no interference when applying false lashes. This will allow room for movement so that all parts of the process go smoothly without frustration!

Natural vs. False Eyelashes: What’s the Difference?

You might also be wondering if there is any difference between natural and false eyelashes as far as glasses are concerned.

Can people even notice them behind all that glass?

Yes, there is a slight difference between real and false eyelashes. These are:

• Real eyelashes are longer and more densely packed, while fake ones are shorter and sparser. So, if you want your false eyelashes to look real behind the glasses, you need to brush them right to look longer.
• Real eyelashes are more flexible than their fake counterparts, able to move around your eye without snapping off or causing irritation.
• Fake lashes have a very rigid shape that doesn’t allow for the natural movement of real ones.

How To Pick the Perfect Set of False Eyelashes for Your Glasses

So, if you want your false eyelashes to look great with glasses, you need to choose the right set of eyelashes.

Here are a few tips to help with that:

1. Don’t go Overboard

False eyelashes are an excellent way to add drama and spice up your look. But if you go overboard with false eyelashes, it can look like you’re wearing masks on your face.

So keep things natural and minimalistic when you wear them. The thing is, a few simple lashes will do the trick! You’re enhancing what is already beautiful, you don’t need to become a cartoon.

2. Opt For Less Dense Lash Strips

If you wear glasses with small eyes, you may be tempted to opt for a denser lash strip. This can be a good choice if your eyes are large or your lashes are long enough to cover the bottom of your eye socket.

However, note that the thicker the strip is, the more noticeable it will be when viewed from different distances, which could cause unwanted attention from others around you!

3. Go for Upward D-Curl Style

Upward D-Curl-style lashes are the best for glasses because they’re the most natural looking and easiest to apply. They also provide you with many options whenever you want to wear your false eyelashes with glasses. 

The Upward Curl is great if your eyes are naturally long and thin. This is an easy way to get a full-looking eye without worrying about applying glue or tape over the top of your natural lashes!

4. Trim the Eyelashes if They Are Long

If your false lashes are too long, you can trim them down to the desired length (this is one of the big advantages over eyelash extensions!). First, use a pair of scissors to cut the end of your lash strip.

Next, trim back any excess length from behind your natural eyelashes. 

Finally, measure where you’d like each lash placed. The distance between each lash should be equal to or smaller than what’s covered by both sides of your eyelid.

Then cut off just enough so it will sit comfortably inside its holder without being too loose or tight. 

5. Pick the Right Style

Pick a style that suits best the type of glasses you will wear. Unfortunately, not all false eyelashes go well with all glasses.

This is why you need to make the right choice.

Try them out behind the mirror or with a friend to see what works best for you. The lashes should also be lightweight and easy to put on and remove. If they’re too heavy, they can cause headaches and discomfort.

You may want to talk to your optometrist about this, as they may be able to give you some guidance here.

6. Only Wear One Pair Of False Lashes

When wearing false eyelashes with glasses, the most important thing to remember is that you should only apply one pair of false lashes at a time.

This is because the weight of the lash can pull out your real eyelashes, causing them to fall out entirely and making it difficult, or even impossible, to apply more lashes on top of them.

Tips for Putting On Fake Eyelashes If You Wear Glasses

• Remove your glasses, and make sure to remove any makeup on your lids as well.
• Apply a thin layer of glue to the false lashes (assuming you’re using glue) before placing them on your eyelids with tweezers or a Q-tip (ensure you’re using a clean one). 
• Don’t use too much glue, or it will be hard for you to remove later! You may also want to put some petroleum jelly around the edges if they feel uncomfortable during application. This will help prevent sticking together when removed later, should there be any excess adhesive left over from applying the false lashes.
• Use a mirror to check that everything looks straight up front. This includes where they’re sitting relative and other angles like upside down vs. right side up etc.
• Put your glasses on, and ensure that there is no interference between the lashes and your glasses and vision. Again, look from all angles possible
• Adjust again if necessary.
