Ditch Your Fake Eyelashes And Wear These Clever Glasses Instead

Imagine if you could achieve the look of long lashes and a shadowed eye by simply slipping on a pair of glasses. Well, that beautifying feat is totally possible thanks to the folks at Lafont , the Paris-based eyewear brand, which has been designing high fashion frames for more than 90 years.

The handmade specs called the PLAIRE, which retail for $399, are eye-catching without being too kitschy. They are the perfect solution for those days when you don't have the time or the energy to put on eye makeup or falsies , but still want to look fresh and fabulous, which was exactly the case when I recently tried on a pair:

Cute, right? We're suckers for stylish and clever eyewear around here, so we reached out to Lafont to get the scoop on how they dreamed up this awesome design.

"When I design each frame, my goal is to enhance a womans natural beauty, taking careful consideration to complement rather than overpower," Lafont's chief designer Thomas Lafont told HuffPost Style. "The PLAIRE was designed specifically to mimic mascara -- taking a bright-eyed look into play with half a dozen colorful options to choose from. Two-toned layers of acetate finish off the makeup look with a contrasting eye shadow effect."

Amazing. We're going to file these beauts in the why-didn't-I-think-of-that folder, right next to Spanx .
