For many Asian women, black eyeliner is the standard for eye makeup. But Asian women needn't limit themselves to just black. There's a variety of makeup shades and tones that will emphasize the natural beauty of Asian eyes.
Neutral makeup colors such as browns and tans tend to go beautifully with Asian eyes. Use a subtle makeup color for daytime, or add some shimmery makeup for a glamorous night look.
To add depth to the look of Asian eyes, use a gradation of color. Choose two to three shades of the same color and apply the darkest color right along your eyelash. Then, add the lighter shades of makeup as you move away from your eyelash toward your eyebrow. Use the lightest shade on your brow bone. Then, lightly blend the colors with a brush or your fingertip, so that it is a smooth gradient of color. This is a nice, polished look, especially if you dust a bit of glittery eye makeup on your brow bone.
Another makeup trick for Asian eyes is to create the illusion of different eye shapes, which can add fun and glamour to your daily routine. To emphasize the almond shape of an Asian eye, apply some mascara, then use a black eye pencil to draw a long line along your eyelash that extends a little bit past the eyelash itself. Some eyes will look better with just the top eyelash lined, while some eyes look best with both eyelashes lined. Experiment with different makeup to see what works best for you.
Using various combinations of dark and light colored makeup can also change the appearance of the shape of the eye.
When it comes to color, Asian eyes look great in a wide variety. You can contrast the deep brown of your eyes with splashes of color-pink, blue, green makeup. Or you can bring out the color in Asian eyes with a color such as gold or rust.
For Asian eyes, the amount of fold you have in your eyelid will dictate the technique you use in applying eye shadow. If you have a very pronounced fold, you can apply a dramatic color beneath the fold for a stunning look. For Asian eyes without a fold, above all else, do not try to create a fold with eye makeup. This never looks good. Instead, go with the natural flow of your eyes and use a gradient of color to make your eyes look glamorous and beautiful.
These are some tips to bring out the natural beauty of Asian eyes. Don't be afraid to experiment! Let your natural beauty shine through.

Post a CommentVery interesting. I am not Asian but I have to wear completely different eye makeup than a sibling, due to different eye shapes, skin coloring and even the color of our eyes. The right makeup really makes a difference!
