Best & Worst Eye Makeup for Asian Women

WHAT YOU SAY

[This page is closed to new input. --Ed.] Hey, no matter what shape, I find that just enlarging your eyes will really help. I can’t go out feeling good about myself without make-up on…a real bother but it’s worth it.

My eyes aren’t that bad, but they’re not as huge as I’d like them to be. I _always_ use eyeliner to extend the sides, and bottom (use make-up sparingly on the bottom otherwise you end up as a panda)so the whole things seems larger. Creases are a real advantage in looks, agreed? So for the top, I just kinda border the lids.

If you don’t got creases…well just make sure you know how to use eye shadow properly. Some of my friends who don’t have it and apply eye shadow…well let’s just say it looks HORRIBLE. It’s like you don’t know how to put on make-up! If you don’t have double eyelids I suggest simply eyeliner and focus on size. Honestly, no matter how professional you are in applying make-up..large blobs of colour don’t match creaseless eyes!
