To Look Instantly Professional: Try New Glasses

Shanti Akkineni, 25

Shanti’s old, elongated glasses (on next slide) seemed too casual to wear to the office and left little space for makeup, making her feel further underdressed. The new frames (Zelig frame, $225, moscot.com) not only make a dressier statement in both color and shape but also reveal more of Shanti’s eyes. For eye makeup, Turnbow applied peach shadow and a soft purple liner for a look that’s job-appropriate but decidedly unfrumpy. “Even if I don’t choose to wear makeup, I feel made-up in these glasses. I would go anywhere in them, from a meeting to a dinner out,” says Shanti.
