The obvious answer to this dilemma is to wear shorter fake eyelashes so that they don't flare out and hit your glasses. For those who don't necessarily prefer a dramatic look, opting for a lightweight, smaller eyelash is the way to go. Bustle recommends the Eylure Accents False Lashes, Style No. 003, as they are natural, affordable, and easy to apply. For those who want a thicker lash, Scala 3D False Eyelashes are a great option, as they give that extra oomph without brushing against your lenses.

However, for those who really want to keep the theatrics that fake lashes can provide — luscious, long, voluminous, and just plain extra — there's a solution. The trick is to either find false eyelashes that have a natural curl to them or simply curl them yourself. When lashes are curled, the hairs stick upward toward the eyebrow instead of outward toward the lenses of your glasses. In fact, many makeup artists prefer the look of eyelashes that stand up rather than out, often taking an eyelash curler to the lash before gluing it on the lid (via Glamour).
