Calling all brides who wear glasses!

So that's me in the photo and I wear glasses, it's just a part of ME! Wearing contacts or going without them is NOT an option. I'm looking for dramatic makeup ideas and pinterest is very little help!! My favorite makeup look is in the comments but my makeup artist told me that I probably can't pull...

So that's me in the photo and I wear glasses, it's just a part of ME! Wearing contacts or going without them is NOT an option. I'm looking for dramatic makeup ideas and pinterest is very little help!! My favorite makeup look is in the comments but my makeup artist told me that I probably can't pull this off with my glasses and I should consider lasik (OMG!)

So! If you wear glasses and have had your trial makeup done or if you have pictures of your big day rocking your glasses, please post them below! I need a little inspiration!

Thank you!

    I am the same way, my glasses are totally a part of me! I do own contacts, but I only wear them snow machining because I can't stand glasses under a helmet. I am so torn on whether to wear glasses for the wedding. I feel like contacts just aren't me, but I don't want them hiding my make up or creating a glare for photos!

    I think you need a new MUA!

    This is me on the day of my epics. You lose a little of the drama with glasses, although yours are MUCH lighter than mine so you'll see more of the eye makeup! Still. Your MUA sounds like a piece of work. I'm going hella glam for my wedding, glasses and all (although I may do contacts, just because my glasses rubbed some of the foundation and I had a funky spot on my nose)

    Your glasses are awesome -- and very subtle. Keep looking for the right MUA. (Your make-up looks great in the photo in your post WITH your glasses, so it's not like it's going to be "hard" to make you look even more glam.) <3

    Also glasses in pictures could pose issues - the flash . I won't wear my glasses because I think they make it look too casual.

    I've always been told you need more dramatic makeup under glasses for it to "shine through" and I believe that.

    I wear glasses and going without is not an option for me either. Neither is contacts. I love your inspiration look and I think it would look great with or without glasses. Find a new MUA.

    It might be fun to do a bold lip with glasses. That's all I've got!

    You could have your makeup done and take pictures with them off...they say that if you wear glasses to get a good look go with a more dramatic look, I wear glasses and I also freelance and I also wear glasses! It can be done!

    Damn. When I do my make up I don't consider "Am I applying my makeup correctly to match my glasses?" Go find a new MUA.

    I wore my glasses during my e-pics. I can't image not wearing them or getting contacts.

    I've always been told to go heavier on the eye makeup when wearing glasses, because the glasses will tone the look down, so I think your inspiration pic would be fine!

    I will also be wearing my glasses! I got special new frames with anti-glare/anti-reflective lenses. I would personally find a new MUA tbh. That was just shitty.

    This photo is of my trial. With your frames especially I think you can pull off pretty much anything!

    Your glasses don't have rims around the edges so Idk why you couldn't wear whatever makeup you wanted? It's not like there's a rim to cover or clash with it. I think you can do whatever you want without it being an issue, honestly.
