Makeup Tips for Women with Asian Features

Here are some tricks those of us who have Asian facial features should take into account:

  • Asian undertones are naturally warm, so it’s important to choose the right foundation, opting for warm tones and steering clear of cool ones. Pale skin can be brightened with matte powder applied to protruding areas of the face.
  • Black circles under the eyes can be masked with concealer with a yellow or golden undertone.
  • Don’t forget to use eyeshadow primer that will add longevity to your eye makeup. Experienced makeup artists recommend using eyeshadow of vivid, yet natural shades to make your eyes more expressive. As for winged eyeliner, make it thin and elegant. If you line the bottom eyelids, don’t connect it with the wings on the upper ones.
  • Forget about lengthening and volumizing mascara. Use regular mascara without additional effects, all you need is to define your eyelashes. Excessive length and volume will only make your eyes appear smaller and narrower.
  • Steer clear of tones that are cool or paler than your skin color.
  • In brow makeup, the color of pencil or shadow should be lighter than your natural one. Eyebrow hairs are often coarse and hard to style. To tame them and give them the right shape, use special gel or soap.
  • Women with Asian features who have pale skin can rock red lipstick with a cool undertone. You can outline the lips with a matching lip pencil.
  • Finally, choose pale pink or peach blush. Apply it in an arch from the temples to the area under the cheekbones.

Choosing Eyeshadow for Makeup for Asian Eyes

Shades that are too dark are a no for Asian eyes as they make them appear smaller. Be careful with smoky eyes. Well-blended eyeshadow of muted colors is your go-to option.

If you have brown eyes, consider the following shades:

  • lilac
  • gray
  • golden or silver.

To open up your eyes, lighten the inner corner of the eyes and darken the outer. Don’t forget to blend everything well for a smooth transition.

For gray or blue eyes, the following hues work the best:

  • lilac
  • light or dark blue
  • gray.

The abovementioned trick is also applicable: lighter eyeshadow goes into the inner corner with darker one in the outer.

Green eyes call for the following combinations:

  • gray
  • purple
  • chocolate.

To blend the border between lighter and darker eyeshadow, use a fluffy brush from natural hair.
