Chanel Iman has gorgeous skin and delicate, jewel-like features. We were shooting editorial featuring the Ralph Lauren collection . I kept the look clean with just a touch of mascara on the top lashes, a hint of smudged liner pencil and a natural gloss. Modern,sexy,classic.

Your makeup should reflect your fashion style. 

The cover and editorial pics were shot by: Carter Berg.

My answer: Both men and women can look very sexy in glasses. You just have to find the right ones for your personal style. Think about your wardrobe. Are you classic,trendy,casual?  

Some salespeople are skilled at helping to find a great frame for your face shape and coloring. Bring a good friend with you whose taste you respect. Go to more than one store to shop. Snap pics of yourself with the possible choices. Go home  and review the pics in the various frames and sleep on it. 

You don't have to own just one pair. Think sporty + business pair. Invest in the extra features such as the thinner lens, invisible bifocals. This allows the the eyes to pop out behind the specs. Glasses draw attention to the face. Groom impeccably!

Below is a great pic from a  series of ads that I did with artist  Marilyn Minter for Tom Ford. Marilyn Minter's  images are very luscious and the Tom Ford's optical collection is 

"out of control" beautiful. Model Cintia Dicker looks super chic and sexy in the picture below. You can use a lot more mascara with eyeglasses, but not too heavy on the eyeshadow and look for a shadow with a little shimmer to add sparkle to the eye.... 

Eyeglasses draw attention to the mouth. Go for a bit of moist lipcolor. I used a black lip gloss here. Very daring,not dowdy!
