Asian Make Up Tips

Many Asian-Americans and other Asian women living in Western countries have a terrible time finding cosmetics that will compliment their unique skin tones and display their features most attractively.  The necessity to spend more time getting to know your best features as well as your limitations will end up with a much better, more flawlessly beautiful made-up look.

Asian Eye Makeup

To start with, it’s important to realize that basic eye makeup tips, for example, that look great on other girls will look strange on Asian eyelids, especially for women without the double eyelid fold, so Asian makeup tips are a little different. Foundation and powder need to have a yellow base, not a pink or orange base like most white and Middle-Eastern women use, or your skin will look dusty and ashy.

Accentuating Asian eyes is much more a function of the eyeshadow colors used than the amount of shadow used. Sweep the whole eyelid with a neutral color, then line and accent with a dark jewel color. Brushing eyeliner or dark shadow into the upper lash line will make thin eyelashes look thicker, and a couple of layers or black or brown mascara or the next step. Most Asian girls have completely non-curly eyelashes, so a few minutes with an eyelash curler will make a huge difference in your appearance.

Asian Make Up Looks

Asian women often have complexions much smoother than the average woman’s, and smaller pores, so another makeup tip for Asian women is to take advantage of this fact and use perfectly-blended foundation followed by  a smooth layer of pressed or loose powder to bring out flawless skin. Bronzer with a slight gold shimmer should be brushed near the temples, and a medium to pale rosy blush should go on the apples of the cheeks only.

Finally, lipstick should be a fairly neutral color to keep the emphasis on the eyes, and a cool-toned red will play up Asian skin and give an all-over matching appearance.
