Wispy Lashes That Pair Perfectly With Glasses

If you've ever feared putting on glasses after getting your lashes done, you are definitely not alone. After all, who wants to waste all that time, effort, and cash just to have those lashes tucked behind frames?

The good news? You do not have to choose between wearing glasses and having fabulous lashes. With the right lengths, curl patterns, and lightweight designs, you can enjoy a soft, fluttery effect without your lashes constantly brushing against your lenses - that and your lashes won't get lost behind a glass curtain. 

Here's everything you need to know about choosing wispy lashes that work beautifully with glasses.

Why Lash and the Glass Clash?

Let's get right to it. There are three major factors why glasses and lashes sometimes clash. 

1. Lash length
2. Lash curl
3. Lens proximity

Lash length and lens proximity should be pretty obvious here. Longer lashes might scrape against the lens of your glasses. It might seem fine before you leave the house, a small little thing - but once you go about your day, that becomes pretty hard to ignore. 

Same with lash curls as they may extend forward enough to touch your lenses every time you blink. Not only can this become irritating, but it can also leave smudges on your glasses and cause your lashes to lose their shape more quickly.

What Makes Wispy Lashes a Great Match for Glasses?

Unlike dense, ultra-volume lash styles, wispy lashes feature a textured appearance with strategically placed longer fibres throughout the lash line. Their advantages are:

1. A lighter overall feel
2. Less weight on the eyelid
3. Better comfort for longer wears
4. A more natural appearance behind frames
5. Definition without overwhelming the eyes

Don't worry. We won't leave you with a list like that and run off. Let's discuss some lashes!

Wispy Lashes: What You Want

Here's how this list is going to work. We'll go through some of our recs and then leave a little glossary after it. There are a few curl types mentioned, and we want to leave as much info out there so that even the newest of lash wearers can find this helpful.

8-11mm Soft Natural Wispy Lash

An 8-11mm wispy set enhances the eyes while remaining comfortably clear of most lenses. It mimics the appearance of naturally long lashes and blends beautifully with your own lash line. Choose this if you prefer going minimal with makeup and wear smaller frames. Professional girlies, this is the lash we'd recommend.

The Best Match: POISE

8-14mm Progressive DD Curl

A gradual progression from shorter inner corners to slightly longer outer sections creates elegant lift without excessive forward projection. This is great for everyday and for divas with rounder faces.

The Best Match: VOGUE

11-14mm Wispy Hybrid Lash

For those wanting more visibility behind thicker glasses frames, a hybrid wispy style offers noticeable definition without going too dramatic. TL/DR: Long enough to give volume and emphasis, short enough to clear many frame styles.

The Best Match: APTITUDE

12-16mm Bold D Curl Progressive Lash

Fashion-forward looks, evening wear, and special occasions need a little more pizzazz (not pizzas). This lash offers a graduated length pattern that helps create a lifted appearance, while the wispy texture prevents the lashes from looking overly heavy.

Lash Curl Glossary

Curl - Specifically, those letter curls. Here's a quick summary of the ones mentioned and the others so that you know the full context.

• J Curl: The most natural-looking curl
• C Curl: Balanced. For everyday.
• D Curl: Pronounced. More wide-eyed look.
• DD Curl: Ultra-curled lash with more drama.

Glass Gloss(ary)

This is some extra bit of info we added just to help you decide which lash to pair with or which frame to get with your selected styles. There might be many more, but these three should kickstart your selection.

• Thin Metal Frames: There, but not there, Billie Eilish has been spotted wearing thin frames, which tend to leave the eyes more visible.
• Thick Frames: Pedro Pascal or Jeff Goldblum are thick framers. Thick frames command attention, which need wispy sets to balance out their boldness. 
• Oversized Frames: Ever seen Mary Kate and Ashley wear glasses? Chances are, they're oversized frames. Makes sense, too. Larger frames can comfortably support slightly bolder lashes - usually for events and appearances.
