Summer Beauty : How to Style Prescription Glasses

It may seem like a long way away, but for those of us embarking on adventures abroad, summer is closer than you think. Whether you’re planning to spend your summer at home or abroad, there is plenty of planning and beauty prepping that can be done to ensure you’re ready for the warmer months. For those of you who wear prescription sunglasses, summer can be more challenging than it is for those who don’t, especially when knowing how to style them in the more humid climates.

Luckily, glasses that were once perceived as geek are now regarded as chic, with many celebrities choosing to proudly showcase their specs or even sporting fake glasses, and many celebrated bloggers even creating their own range of glasses. From makeup to summer fashion, we take a look at how to style prescription glasses as the weather gets warmer.

Makeup

In the summer months, make up should be kept as light and as natural as possible to allow the skin to breathe and soak up the sun’s vitamin D – not forgetting allowing it to bronze to perfection. Liquid foundations are fantastic in the winter months, but in the summer they tend to get a tad sticky, leaving those ever-unwanted glasses marks on your skin. Mineral powders are the perfect makeup choice to combat such problems as they are much lighter and prevent your glasses from sticking to your face.

Eye makeup should be kept minimal as your glasses magnify your eyes, so try to ensure the amount of eyeliner you apply looks classy and not overdone. That said, mascara should provide both length and volume, leaving your eyes looking attractive, bright and wide.

Accessorise

As is the key to any successful outfit, accessorising is a must. Teaming your favourite pair of glasses with a hat can be a wonderful combination, especially when teamed with a hat that boats a wider brim. To add a touch of your own style, why not tie a silk scarf in your choice of colour or pattern for a truly chic and elegant look.

Stylish Prescription Sunglasses

For the fashion conscious among you, why not pick out a pair of stylish prescription glasses to team with your outfit. Companies such as GlassesonSpec have a gorgeous range of stylish prescription sunglasses to help complete your look. Prescription sunglasses are perfect for long days on the beach, allowing you to read your holiday novel and can help to protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful UV rays.

Whatever your style, it’s easier than you think to look chic in the sunshine in prescription glasses. Remember to protect your skin with sun cream too – it’ll help you to avoid an embarrassing glasses tan too!
