With all the webcam calls, conferences and quizzes (yes, we’re pretty sure they’re still happening), we’re spending a lot of time staring at our own faces these days. And while we love the natural look, there’s no denying the confidence boost we get when we swipe on our favourite lipstick or draw on our signature liner.
When you’re a glasses-wearer, it can sometimes feel as though your frames hide your make-up skills. One trick to overcome this is to complement your frames with your beauty looks – and when your new kate spade new york frames are this chic, it’s only right that your make-up is too.
kate spade new york glasses are that perfect balance of classic and contemporary. The latest collection is a delight of colours, patterns, rim styles and designs, meaning you can find the perfect glasses for your face shape and your individual style – and the perfect glasses to have fun with your make-up too!
Our Beauty Director Joely Walker (a fellow glasses wearer) has found some of her favourite kate spade new york glasses and sunglasses and showcased the beauty looks she’d pair them with.
Seeing Red
Accentuate the red tones of these kate spade new york Kaileigh full-rim, plastic frames with an equally sumptuous berry red lipstick and amp up the glamour factor with a high-shine finish. Keep the whole look warm with a gentle blush on your cheeks and a bronzed metallic shadow on your eyes but let those statement lips (and frames) do all the talking.
Sunnyside Up
Sunglasses are as much an essential accessory in autumn and winter as they are in summer – both to protect your eyes and to keep up those style credentials. These kate spade new york Amara oversized sunglasses have a vintage vibe and classic tortoise effect detailing, making them a failsafe investment. When your sunnies are so bold, keep your make-up subtle with barely-there bronzer and a soft peachy-hued lip.
Feeling the Blues
Match your make-up to your kate spade new york Bronwen frames in this seasons must-have hue: blue. Known to make the whites of your eyes look whiter, a slick of blue eyeliner along the waterline will make your natural eye colour pop behind those lenses. Finish the look with a barely-there base and balmy lip to keep it modern.
Class Act
Elegant and sophisticated, this classic kate spade new york Brylie style with a slender frame works so well with a glossy, radiant base. Top tip? Frames can cast shadows underneath your eyes so call upon a creamy concealer to brighten the area first. Next, press a balmy highlighter atop the high points of your face to create that glow-giving sheen.
Throwing Shade
These kate spade new york Janalynn frames deserve a bold make-up look to match their standout shape. Pair them with a bright lip – we love this red with orange undertones. We’d also suggest a matte lip finish to contrast against the sheen of your shades. Matte textures are very big this autumn/winter season, and the new modern formulations make them easy and comfortable to wear – just like these sunglasses.
Cat’s Out the Bag
Cat-eye frames like these kate spade new york Vandra ones with tortoiseshell arms elongate the natural shape of your eyes – drawing them upwards and outwards. To accentuate this lifting effect, use a liquid black eyeliner to draw on a feline flick in the outer corners before coating your lashes with mascara for the most wow-worthy finish. Keep the rest of your make-up simple to draw all the attention to your eyes and these frames.
