The first step for Asian women applying Asian makeup tips is to find a concealer and foundation with a yellow base. You might have to search harder than most women to find the perfect base, because traditional cosmetics are orange or pink-based, which will make your skin look ashy and unnatural.
Use liquid eyeliner on your bottom and top lashes to frame your beautifully-tilted eyes. Eyeliner with a tint of blue, green, or red will draw attention to your eyes and lighten them a little visually.
Darken and fill in your eyebrows with a bronze-brown eyeshadow and little sweeping motions. How your eyebrows look has a huge impact on how your eyes look, and giving your eyebrows, which on Asian women are often a little sparse, a full look will really frame your eyes and draw them out to their best advantage.
If you want to create the appearance of a double eyelid, use shades of brown eyeshadow that have yellow undertones, which will create “shadows” that look natural. Try to only create a small crease, like many half-Asian girls have. It’s easy to spend half an hour trying to create a full crease, then realize the results just look really bizarre and unattractive! Focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses.
Bright and/or dark lipsticks are best avoided for most Asian girls. Instead use pale, peachy, neutral colors, especially lipsticks with a slightly blue undertone to bring out the beautiful gold in your complexion.
Blush should also be no darker than a rosy red, and applied only to the apples of the cheeks. Bronzer can be used together with rouge to give a healthy, sparkling glow.
Ideally, all of your eye shadows and eye pencils, no matter the basic color, will have underlying tones of shimmery gold. You might not think it would make a big difference, and on most girls’ faces it wouldn’t, but hints of glittery gold will really make your skin look lovely.
