Vintage Inspired
"For major nighttime style, match vintage inspired frames flawlessly by lining your top lash line with black liquid liner to create a cat eye. Afterwards, apply several coats of mascara to your top lashes only, which will result in a lifting effect."
Classic Round
"Make your eyes POP during the day by using a waterproof, cobalt blue pencil in your waterline plus a few coats of black mascara on both top and bottom lashes. The classic frame on Illesteva's pair is so bold, a slight pop of color will look like a whisper of magic."
Cat Eye
"The amazing thing about cat eye shaped glasses is that they literally do all the work for you. Keep your eye makeup neat during the day by applying just mascara. To take this frame out at night, wear a bright, matte lip color in a tomato red shade."
Statement Hue
"When working with statement opticals, keep things simple—your eyes should do all the talking. Apply a chocolate brown eyeliner pencil in the corners of your top and bottom lashes to create an eye-opening effect ideal for daytime wear."
Square Or Geometric
"Coat your lids with a wash of metallic gold eyeshadow from the top lash line to the crease. Applying a dab of rosebud salve will create a fun evening mood for these laid back frames."
