How to choose a pair of glasses

Fashion stylist and TV presenter Gok Wan is as famous for his flamboyant choice in glasses as he is for How To Look Good Naked, his first solo show for Channel 4. If you're on the hunt for a new pair of specs, watch Gok's video to find out how to work out what suits you, plus read his tips on how to wear you hair and make-up to make the most of your new frames.

Here are some tips that Gok covers in this video fashion tutorial:
• If you're short sighted your lenses will make your eyes appear smaller so apply bold make-up to emphasize them. Use lighter colors on the inner corners, blending into deeper, darker shades at the outer corners to add emphasis and to make your eyes look bigger. Don't forget to use a dark or lash-building mascara.

• If you're far sighted, your lenses will make your eyes appear magnified. Apply make-up sparingly and blend colors carefully. Dark mascara gives definition, but avoid harsh eyeliners or thick mascara - blobs and smudges will be magnified too!

• All specs-wearers should opt for an under eye concealer which contains light-reflecting particles.

• With long hair check consider how different frames look with your hair loose, held back or bunched on top of your head. Keep your fringe regularly trimmed so that it's not too long or too heavy.

• If you have a short hair style, experiment with bold designs or more decorative styles to draw attention to your face

• Frames should be no higher than the line of your eyebrows. The lower edge should not sit on your cheeks, even when you smile.

• And most importantly, frames, colors and styles can also reflect your personality so don't be afraid to experiment!
