So what would u recommend from my list for me to wear with my specs. I'm sick of leaving my eyeshadows to rot... I know I probably can't wear brights like freshwater or chrome yellow... cause it will be too much for me when i wear my specs.

Desperately need help on what eye colors to wear with specs. Argh! I don't want to let my e/s go to waste. And yet i don't like to wear contacts all the time.

Woah, yes you do! You've got almost as many as me or more! Just start experimenting. I'd say do lots of smokey night looks and extend them slightly above the crease of the eye so your eyes really show up with the glasses on. I'd go with smokey browns or greens !

Try Carbon in crease
Ricepaper as highlight
Sumptuos olive onlid
Golden olive in the middle of eyelid

OR

Club all over lid
Flashtrack in crease of eye
Fairylight underbrowbone applied lightly so the glitter falls over the other colours
Lark about on inner corner of lids
Black eyeliner
And on bottom lid use flashtrack with a smudgen on lark about on top of it
retrospeck on inner corner of lids
And black liquid liner on both looks on top lid, extended a bit to make a flick.

Really there are endless possiblilties with all those colours. I'd just go with a bit of smokey oomph. Because 1) you'll use up a lot more products
and 2) it will really show up behind the glasses
