Can't Wear Lashes with Glasses? Myth Busted
Can you wear false lashes with glasses? Yes, a thousand times yes. The myth that lashes always hit your lenses comes from grabbing the wrong style or skipping the "measure first" step. If you've ever given up on falsies because they tickle your lenses, this page will change your life.
WHERE THE MYTH COMES FROM
Somewhere along the line, someone put on a dramatic, 15mm lash, walked into their glasses, and immediately blamed the glasses. But the problem wasn't the glasses — it was the lash-to-lens proximity. When your lashes brush against your glasses, it's because the lash is too long or too curled. Solution: choose a shorter lash and train your glasses to sit lower on your nose.
THE 4 MYTHS ABOUT LASHES + GLASSES
- "Lashes will always touch my lenses." Not if you keep lengths under 12mm and choose a natural curl.
- "Glasses make my eyes look smaller, so lashes don't matter." Actually, lashes draw attention to your eyes and make them appear larger behind the frames.
- "I can't wear lashes with contacts." False. Contacts don't interfere with lash application at all.
- "Lashes and glasses = too much going on." A natural lash style actually balances out the heaviness of a frame.
HOW TO WEAR LASHES WITH GLASSES: 5 TIPS
- Choose a lash with a length of 10-12mm.
- Skip a dramatic D curl and choose a soft C curl.
- Place the lash as close to your lash line as possible — this keeps it from sitting higher and hitting the lens.
- Set your glasses slightly lower on your nose, and adjust the arms if needed.
- Carry a compact mirror to do a quick "blink test" before you head out.
THE RIGHT LASH HEIGHT FOR YOUR FRAMES
For oversized and round frames, a 10-11mm lash works best. For small or rectangular frames, you can go up to 12mm. The goal: the lash should be visible above the frame but never extend past it. Measure by placing the lash against your lid and blinking a few times. No brush? Use your finger to gently feel if it clears the frame.
