Playing Up Your Eyes

What You Need To Know About Asian Eye Makeup

You have great shaped eyes. Lets work with them!

Get into the habit of using a highlighter over the entire eye lid.

To create the illusion of a deeper lid, use a darker shade of shadow in the crease.

Play up your gorgeous brown eyes, choose colors in the sandy shades. This can range from browns to yellows. I have even seen pinky browns that work well. But, if you are adventurous, go for more bold shades. You can pretty much wear any color that appeals to you. Brown eyes are a blessing in this case!

On the same thread, don't feel that you are restriced to just a few colors. Shadows are made to be played with. You might find a color that no one else is using that looks perfect on you.

When you travel, take notes. On a recent trip from British Columbia, I people watched and noted the colors that Asian women preferred. You can use this trick

Pay attention to your brows. Ragged looking brows will ruin your gorgeous eyes. Isn't it interesting that your brows aren't noticed unless they are over-grown or over-plucked. If you don't know where to start, have them professionally shaped and then all you need to do is maintenance.

If you like to line your eyes, invest in an angled brush. I use one and find it very easy to maintain a close, even line.
