I wear glasses (mostly for when I drive) and I think MAC paints are very easy. They can be worn alone or blended together and never flake or crease (even with oily lids). Bare Canvas is my fave neutral (NC15) and Canton Candy is my fave bright in paints.
For wearing glasses (mine are black rimmed and kinda "art school" style) I like Bare Canvas, with Vanilla e/s (all over lid), Espresso e/s (outer V), and Pink Venus e/s (inner V) with Blitz and Glitz f/l (lashline only). The combo gives different textures and definition without looking overwhelming.
Also, fluidlines (esp. Blue Peep and Sage) are good if you want a slighter "pop" with neutral shadows. They're liners that apply easily and come off only with washing.

I would just give a light sweep over the lids and eyeliner!!
Also.. mascara for colour.. I try not to do volumizing or lengthening...
Oh ya... the colour of your eyeshadow... you might want to complement it with the colour of your specs.
Like for example, my specs are brown, I try to make sure the colours I use are neutrals...

When I wear my glasses:
Complexion - N9, NW45
For an everyday look, I like to do a brightened neutral lid (MAC Paint - Sublime Nature #249 brush) with a nice semi-dramatic crease (NARS e/s Duo - Habanera, Charcoal Plum #219 brush) blended very, very well. I do a semi-smokey line around my whole eye (MAC - Nehru #219 brush) leaving the inner corners unlined. I tightline with MAC Smolder Pencil.
I make sure my brows are very tight and clean ALWAYS by penciling them in with Prestige Browliner in Earth Brown and use a nice highlighter e/s (MAC Phloof! or NYX Nude #239 brush), to make the brow bone pop. At the end, I blend every thing very well with #227 brush loaded with a bit of powder.
I do mascara top and bottom (Maybelline Intense XXL in Black) and a nice set of lashes (ELF Natural Lash Set) that aren't so long that they touch my lens. I finish with a clean thin line of liquid eyeliner (Loreal Lineur Intense in Black) on top lashlline.
This is a model I did wearing that very look, she is NC45:
My frames are small but I love to have my eye a touch dramatic with my glasses, even for daytime.

When I wear my glasses I rarely actually do a lot for my eyes...it's all about brows and lips when I wear my glasses usually.
A typical glasses day look for me is:
Face:
*Foundation, concealer, mid-tone cheek color, contour & highlight
Eyes:
*Shroom lid & browbone w/ cork lightly in the crease, naked lunch w/ cranberry (or something pinky-plum), Phloof w/ parfait amour or sketch...or some other random 2-3 color combo-I think you get the idea...w/ mascara & Graphblack liner.
Strong brows (Cork & Folie)
Strong lips (VG1, Alta Moda, Girl About Town, Dubonet, Desire, etc)
...this is of course when I do my makeup...
(If not, it's just brows, concealer, powder, mascara & maybe some liner w/ VG6 l/g)
