Dark hair and dark eyes allow Asian girls to get away with dark colors that would overwhelm most other complexions. Dark, muted neutrals look best for everyday wear, and jewel colors really make the eyes stand out, for special occasions.
Light colors and pastels can easily make Asian girls look washed out and sickly, so they should be avoided. Icy colors will rarely look their best on Asian skin tones. Black eyeshadow can be used to create the appearance of an eyelid crease, and black mascara draws even more attention to the eyes for dramatic effect. Black colors would look too stark on most other skin tones, but just look pleasantly dramatic on Asian girls.
It’s important to always brighten up a smaller eye and brow area with highlights under the eyebrow and in the corners of the eyes. Gold and bronze will bring out the natural golden undertones in your skin.
Matte or shimmery eye shadows will emphasize your eyes beautifully, though glossy finishes will bring too much attention to your eye makeup and not your eyes, though you can use a light, glittery color on your brow bone to add more dimension and depth to your face.
With blush, you should be careful to avoid reds with yellow undertones, which can quickly make your skin look sallow. The same rule goes for lipstick, though you have more freedom in lipstick colors. Don’t use anything too glossy on your cheeks or lips, either. Ruby colors and bronzers will bring out the lovely vibrancy of your skin tone.
If you want, you can use nail polish colors to compliment the colors that you are trying to accentuate on your skin. Dramatic jewel colors on your fingernails can emphasize the rich colors you’re putting around your eyes. Nail courses can teach you how to choose the most flattering nail polish and apply it properly, and to bring out the beauty in Asian coloring.
Finally, dark brown or black mascara will sculpt your eye lashes. Thickness isn’t usually a problem with Asian eyelashes, but most girls usually find their eye lashes stick straight out, and do nothing for their eyes. Two coats of mascara, followed by an eyelash color, will make a huge difference on your face.
