In this blog, we have shared some tips and tricks on how to make your eyes look bigger with glass frames.
Top tips to make your eyes look bigger with glasses
Since glasses highlight your eyes naturally the following tips will help make the eyes look bigger depending upon what prescription you have.
1. Find the correct frame size
Make sure you choose a frame that suits your face shape and personal style. Smaller and thinner frames are a great choice for making your eyes look bigger. On the other hand, large, thick frames will make your eyes appear smaller.
Know more about choosing the right frames for your face with our frame size guide.
2. Choose the right frame shape
Glasses come in various shapes from clubmaster to sleek rectangular frames . You should choose a frame shape that complements your face shape. While round frames make your eyes look larger, cat-eyed frames may give an illusion of naturally lifted eyes due to their elevated shape that highlights the best features.

3. Select the apt frame colour
Choosing frame colours that suit your skin tone can be a real game-changer. You can also match the frame colour with the colour of your eye. For example- warm-toned frames (gold, green and deep yellow) are great for brown-coloured eyes.

Top makeup tips to make your eyes appear bigger
Making your eyes look bigger when wearing glasses is no problem when you have eye makeup to your advantage. Here are our tips to stand out with makeup while wearing glasses:
1.Do not use dark eye shadows
Avoid using dark and heavy makeup as it makes your eyes look smaller. Instead, choose a neutral eyeshadow colour such as a beige, brown or ivory shade. This will help make the eyes appear more prominent.
2. Define your eyes with a soft eyeliner
A soft eyeliner in brown will define your eyes without making them look small. Make sure you blend the lines to prevent them from appearing too harsh.
3. Apply a white pencil to your waterline
Using a white pencil on your lash line or water line will help to boost that wide-eyed look and make your eyes appear even larger.
4. Finish off with a coat of mascara
A good coat of mascara will define your eyes, and if you'd like to give your eye area an extra lift, grab your eyelash curlers and curl your lashes.
5. Brighten up the under eyes with concealer
A good quality concealer will do wonders to brighten up the under-eye area and cover dark circles, giving you the appearance of larger eyes and a refreshing look, especially if your eyes are looking tired from a lack of sleep.
Why do my eyes look so small with glasses?
Your eyes will look small with glasses if you have high myopia. As the lenses get stronger in power, they make your eyes look smaller.
What prescription glasses make your eyes look bigger?
'Plus' lenses for hyperopia (farsightedness) can make your eyes appear bigger as it is thicker in the centre. If you have a plus high prescription, then the lens can make your eyes appear magnified.
Do thicker lenses make your eyes look bigger?
Thicker plus lenses can make your eyes look bigger. However, even with lower plus prescriptions if the frame selected is large it can make the eyes appear larger due to magnification of the lens. Read about lens thickness if your glasses lenses are too thick.
