Have you read a ton of glossy beauty magazines and watched gigabytes of makeup tutorial videos on Youtube, but still haven't figured out how to color your eyes? Me too!
Looking at the instructions of Western beauty gurus (yes, the same domestic Krygina!), Where they smartly advise highlighting the “outer corner of the upper fold” with dark shadows, I drearily think: “What should I do?” Indeed, as is often the case with Asians, I am completely devoid of the so-called double "European" fold on the eyelids.
But not all Asians are born without it. About half of us have such a fold. And it is from among them that makeup artists choose models when they want to demonstrate their skills on girls of different races. Well, still - to deal with the usual is much easier! The already mentioned Krygina, during her master class in Yakutsk, also went the easy way, choosing a Yakut woman with small (but still) folds on her eyelids for makeup. But it doesn’t suit us to be upset :).
Firstly, all kinds of devices for the formation of a double fold on the eyelids have long been in use:
Secondly, you can use it and no one will judge you for it.
And finally, thirdly, with the help of cosmetics, we can emphasize the beauty of our eyes, make the look open and expressive. At the same time, we do not need to deny ourselves fashionable experiments at all - any trends of the season: like dramatic smokey-eyes or crazy colored arrows - look amazing on Asians! You just need to rethink the traditional rules of makeup and adapt them to your unique appearance.
1.Use the Ombre technique.
Star makeup artist May Kyung recommends: “Whatever eye makeup you prefer - neutral day or evening, the main thing is that the shadows are applied in a gradient way (or, as the French say, Ombre). The point of the technique is that one color smoothly flows into another. At the same time, we apply dark shadows closer to the lash line, and the higher, the lighter the tone becomes. “This gives the illusion of depth, which is important for visually flat Asian eyes with no lid crease,” May Kyung explains.
Draw a line with a black or dark brown pencil close to the lashes, and don't be afraid to press the pencil to get the color intense.
Then apply lighter shadows (gray for smokey eyes, or brown for daytime makeup). Blend them upward and outward towards the temples.
Finally, take the most light color and apply on the upper part of the eyelid, under the eyebrow. Make sure you blend outward rather than inward: if dark shadows lie too close to the bridge of the nose, the eyes will appear close-set. Once you're done with that, take a clean, fluffy brush and gently go over your eyelids, especially where one color blends into another, so that there aren't any hard lines between them.
2.Draw thicker arrows.
“Sometimes girls without a double crease in front of their eyes complain that their trendy arrows are simply hidden under hanging skin,” Kühn explains. - If you have the same problem, do not be afraid to draw a thicker line along the eyelashes than is usually recommended for Europeans. In the process, stop every few seconds to check if the line is visible with your eyes open. “The Asian eye shape is especially suitable for creating beautiful flying arrows,” the makeup artist adds. Another makeup artist, Wanngou, has an additional piece of advice: "When you paint yourself" cat's eyes”, look up, not down. Asian eyes tend to change shape when you look in different directions, so for best results, always look up until your makeup is done."
3. Attention to eyelashes!
4. Choose one bright tone
“If you like bold colors, choose just one shade of eyeshadow and apply it all over the upper eyelid,” advises Ryoke. Eyes without a double crease are usually almond-shaped. Close them and apply color to the upper eyelid, repeating the almond shape, then make up the lower eyelid with the same shade. Ryoke says: "I personally use one bright color - there is not enough space in a typical Asian century to mix different shades." In my opinion, this advice contradicts the first one, about Ombre. Maybe it only applies to bright colored shadows, and not black-gray-brown colors?
5. Choose highlighters in natural tones.
Although you've probably seen models with deep-set eyes that paint over the inner corners of the eyelids with white pencil, Vanngow recommends that Asian girls do otherwise. If you have a flat bridge of your nose—and Asians are pretty common—the inner corner of your eye shouldn't be emphasized with a very light color," he says. Instead, you'd better highlight the mucosa along the lower lash line and tear ducts. skin tone pencil. Ryoke also recommends applying a little more highlighter to the lower inner corner of the eye, which gives "the illusion of a deeper eyelid and a three-dimensional effect."
6. Shadows and eyeliner on the lower eyelid are essential.
“I always put some eyeshadow on my lower eyelid,” Vanngou says. “This is another trick that makes Asian eyes look bigger. On the upper eyelid, the shadows should be more intense, but do not neglect the lighter shades on the lower eyelid, near the lash line, to help “open up” the eyes. "If you want a discreet daytime look, skip this step, but don't forget to line your lower lids with an eyeliner."
It is interesting that I myself, through trial and error, came to this decision, although in all makeup textbooks (calculated, however, for the European type of appearance), owners of small eyes are not recommended to bring the lower eyelid. “This will make your eyes appear even smaller,” they warn. Yeah well, right? And the mirror tells me quite the opposite!
7. Don't draw a fake crease!
Of course, it is tempting to take a pencil and draw the missing crease on your eyelid. But you want to emphasize your natural beauty, and not turn into an incomprehensible person? All three makeup artists advise never making a fake crease with pencil or shadows - it will be too obvious. Ryoke put it best: “Show me how naturally beautiful you are!” For the sake of objectivity, I note that I have seen successful examples of such art. For example, on the Buryat singer Madegma Dorzhieva, whose photo can be seen, I asked her for the name of that makeup artist, but, unfortunately, she does not remember him. In my picky opinion, Madegma's make-up turned out to be excellent. Although it is not for everyday life, but for the stage or photo shoots. In general, I’m not so categorical in saying “no” to a painted fake fold. If you have a reason and a virtuoso make-up artist, then why not try?
If by nature a girl has a beautiful oriental cut of her eyes, then she definitely needs to learn how to do makeup for Asian eyes. How to make up narrowed eyes? What shadows should be used? What is the difference between everyday evening make-up if the eyes are narrow? Such questions are asked by many girls of oriental appearance.
Features of the appearance of Asian women
Any girl or woman is a unique creation of nature. Each appearance is individual and bright. A woman carries in her appearance a variety of features.
Asia has always attracted and interested not only in its antiquity, great life practice and wisdom. Asian women are also the subject of attention due to their unique beauty with special features. Dark skin color, prominent cheekbones, thick straight hair and, of course, a peculiar cut of the eyes - all this gives the appearance of an Asian woman color and originality.
The Asian type of appearance is exotic and unusual. The slanted slit of the eyes is a unique feature that only the woman of this region has. Asian eyes should be considered not as small and narrow, but as absorbing with their bottomlessness due to the dark color of the cornea.
Hanging eyelids over the eyes - a kind of highlight in comparison with the European female type. Many Asian girls are sure that this is a big flaw in appearance. But this is an erroneous opinion, especially since the modern makeup technique perfectly uses hanging eyelids when making up.
To do this, you just need to know and be able to apply cosmetics by certain methods. A stylish make-up will visually eliminate the swelling of the eyelids, make the look open.
How to paint narrow eyes
Makeup for the Asian type of face takes into account the peculiarities of the cut of the eyes and requires a lot of attention and time to be paid to its implementation. Makeup for narrow eyes is carried out in two ways:
- The natural shape of the eye remains unchanged.
- The upper eyelid is visually increased in height.
Often Asian girls, women want to increase the size of the eyes due to the upper eyelid. To do this, self-adhesive strips of paper or special glue are now commercially available. The strips are glued, and the glue is applied with a narrow cosmetic spatula to the border between the edge of the eyelashes and the upper eyelid. The glue can be applied evenly or in such a way that the bead of glue expands at the outer or inner edge of the eyes. You can also visually increase the incision of the upper eyelid by drawing an imaginary fold on the upper eyelid.
Eyelashes on Asian eyes are by nature quite short, straight and sparse. To correct their direction, there are special tweezers - eyelash clips. With their help, the eyelashes become as if curled up, seem longer.
As you know, Asian women mostly dark hair and brown eyes. For such eyes, you need to use shades of gray, green, cream, beige, pearl shades.
Suitable for both cold and warm tones. The main thing is that they are combined with each other. In no case should you apply red shadows - they give the impression of tearful and swollen eyes.
Makeup for narrow brown eyes for every day
Casual or daytime may not involve the use of shadows at all. Or you need to apply a base of light shadows over the entire surface of the eyelid. Then bronze-colored shadows are applied to the moving part of the eyelid. To emphasize the expressiveness of the look, shadows of dark shades can be shaded in the outer corners of the eyes.
Arrows for narrow eyes are drawn with a pencil along the lash line. At the outer side of the eye, the line can be extended, drawn upwards. Shade the arrow a little, highlighting the outer corner of the eye. Circle the drawn arrows on the lower eyelid with a thin brush with dark shadows.
Eyelashes can be curled with tweezers, then tinted with mascara. It is advisable to apply mascara 2 times to better fix the shape of the eyelashes.
Evening makeup for Asian eyes
It must contain pearlescent shadows. They need to be applied to the inner corners of the eyes. This will make the expression of the eyes straight and open. Shadows for evening makeup should have purple, smoky, dark brown, dark blue shades.
The arrows are drawn with a pencil or liquid eyeliner. The line of arrows goes along the border of eyelash growth. A thin arrow should be gradually slightly expanded as it approaches the outer border of the eye. The eyeliner line is slightly lengthened towards the temple.
Eyelashes are curled with tweezers, then painted with lengthening mascara. Now they look longer, thicker, more magnificent. It is advisable to stain the eyelashes only on the upper eyelids, although the lower eyelashes are often painted with mascara.
General makeup for Asian narrow eyes
Perfection in appearance girls are achieved not only by impeccably done . An integral attribute of the beauty of an Asian girl is also cosmetic treatment of the skin of the face, eyebrows, cheekbones, lips. In a word, well-groomed eyes perfectly complement the overall makeup, and vice versa: the overall facial makeup complements the eye makeup.
As with all other face decorating techniques, the first step is to tidy up the skin. Its flaws are perfectly hidden by foundation. It also plays a role in aligning the entire tone of the face. Since Asian skin is distinguished by its yellowness, not all shades of foundation will work in this case. For example, makeup artists do not recommend applying pink color. Tonal creams of golden, beige, caramel, yellow-brown shades will be in perfect harmony with the natural color of the skin.
An Asian girl should remember that the chosen foundation should not be darker. natural color facial skin. If there are circles under the eyes, they can be covered with foundation a tone lighter than the tone for the face.
The eyebrows of Asian girls are naturally straight and beautifully shaped. They can be supplemented with a small correction with a pencil, and then gently blend with a brush. Eyebrows - should not be thick, at the base they should remain wider, and towards the end become thin as threads.
The face shape of Asian girls is known to be round. Cheekbones are accentuated with shimmery blush. Such an important component of decorative cosmetics as blush helps to revitalize and refresh the facial expression. They are applied to the protruding part of the cheekbones from the bottom up. Closer to the temples, the color should be more intense. After applying the blush, you need to shade well. This technique allows you to visually make the face more oblong in shape. For Asian appearance, bronze, plum, peach blush colors are suitable.
As for the lips, for them, Asian girls prefer lipstick of such bright colors as raspberry, scarlet, juicy red. This is a great addition to eye makeup. You can use a matte lipstick, but a colorless gloss will do. Lips need to be covered with a light layer before applying lipstick foundation and trace around with a pencil. The lips of Asian women are characterized by rather small sizes. In this regard, lipstick should be applied stronger and brighter on the central part of the lips than on the edges.
Among the great abundance of makeup techniques, we are always looking for something new and interesting. And we girls sometimes want some exotic, which we lack in the usual Everyday life. And in the beauty industry there is a make-up option that can satisfy even the most demanding ladies. And this is an Asian look.
Asian makeup - An exotic and very unusual type of makeup. Such makeup will look very impressive on your eyes, which will allow you to change beyond recognition.
contouring
Contouring will allow you to visually reduce the nose, chin, cheekbones without resorting to plastic surgery. After all, Asian girls have a narrow face, as well as delicate facial features. Contouring involves the formation of a new face with the help of conventional cosmetics, the result of which may surprise you.
Nose
First, apply foundation on your nose and rub it with a sponge. Most importantly, choose a light tone foundation, as well as powder. Then apply the corrector on the sides of the nose, in straight lines. You need to visually achieve a narrow and straight nose, like Asian women.
Then, using the applicator, blend the corrector to hide its clear edges. For clarity, use the drawing instructions. Also, don't forget to put some highlighter on the bridge of your nose. This can lighten the nose, which will give it an even neater shape.
Face
To visually reduce the entire face, you will need to apply dark contouring strokes to the contour of your face, as indicated in the picture. Also on the area of the center of the forehead, the area under the eyes and the chin, we apply a liquid creamy contouring of a light shade. Such contouring is sold in regular sticks, which is very convenient if you need a little cosmetic product.
Then we start shading. In the cheekbones dark lines, using the applicator, blend the contouring up, as if trying to erase the line itself, but not completely. Our task is to make the cheekbones less expressive, but we need them to be.
As for the nose, we have already spoken earlier, but the forehead area and the area under the eyes, with the help of a foundation sponge, blend with gentle movements on the sides. In the area under the eyes, starting from the inside of the nose, to the temporal part, and the forehead area, as if with wet movements from right to left.
porcelain skin
For the effect of creating porcelain skin, you need to apply light powder to the skin when the face contouring is ready. With the help of the applicator, you should tone well with powder all your contouring “edges” that remain after shading.
After on the center of the forehead, cheeks and the upper point above the lip, apply a highlighter. This will create the effect of radiant skin, which is very characteristic of Asian girls.
Eyes
Asian-style eye makeup involves making your eye look smaller as well as creating a narrow slit. To make such an incision, you need to visually lower the outer corner of the eye using the arrows. Take an eyeliner or a pencil and draw a thin arrow along the upper eyelid, the tail of which you need to draw down. Also, be sure to make a small, sharp corner in the inner corner of the eye with a pencil.
To create a more accurate effect, the outer corner of the eye must be brought in with dark or light shadows.
In this eye makeup, you should not curl your eyelashes. They should have a straight, even slightly lowered look. Eyelashes can be tinted with both black and colored mascara. For convenience, use our instruction in pictures.
Contact lenses
Among Asian girls, a fashion hit is becoming contact lenses. Such lenses look almost like a regular iris, but have non-standard, saturated shades.
Brows
But you will need to darken your eyebrows with a dark or black pencil. Against the background of light, flawless skin, they will stand out very well, which will help create the desired effect.
Just don't go overboard with the pencil so your brows don't look too unnatural.
Lips
Asian girls have small lips with a clear outline. You need to use a pencil to achieve the same effect. Take an almost flesh-colored pencil and draw a new outline along your lip outline, a little less than it actually is. You need to make an expressive hollow in the upper part of the lips, which will allow us to create the shape we need.
Then you apply lipstick or tint to the middle of the lips and barely, barely rub it. With this technique, you can create the effect of "bitten lips", which has recently been very fashionable among Asian girls.
Asian women are charming and attractive, but they have some features that make classic make-up techniques useless. A special cut of the eyes, combined with a massive upper eyelid and short eyelashes, yellowish skin tone require a special approach in Asian eye makeup to emphasize the dignity, making them even more attractive.
- Concealer. Due to the natural yellowish tint, the most advantageous for Asian women are milk, caramel, coffee and golden tones. But there are exceptions (whitish skin or, conversely, chocolate), for which you need to select other options.
- Eyeliner. The corrector for the eyes (eyliner) will need white to increase the volume while maintaining the natural appeal (a thin strip is drawn along the bottom) and black. For eyebrows - a little lighter hair(for Asians, they are already quite expressive). A fixing gel will not be superfluous. It will fix the hairs in the desired position for a long time.
- Ink. “Open up” the look and correct the overall impression with the help of voluminous mascara.
- Shadows. The standard recipe for cosmetologists is to purchase a dark and light version of the same color. Several variations from one scale are allowed. A smooth transition adds mystery. It is better to give preference to a matte texture. Glossy, mother-of-pearl are good for festive eye makeup.
- Pomade. Here the scope for creativity is huge: naturalness, “classics of the genre” (cold red) or brightness, matte or shine. The main cosmic prescription: the more noticeable the eye makeup, the more natural the sensual mouth should look, and vice versa.
- Blush. Coral, peach, lavender refresh, create an attractive glow.
You should pay attention to creamy pigments, they are easier to smooth transitions. Dark ones are useful for shading eyeliner. If possible, you can additionally purchase a gel eyeliner, it is easier to give them a narrow and neat outline. Golden sequins will also be useful, with their help a playful festive look is obtained. To highlight the cheekbones, a bronzer is suitable.
Basic order
The proposed order is traditional in the make-up of girls with Asian eyes, suitable for all occasions, for daytime and evening wear, it is worth deviating from it only for the sake of bold experiments or on the recommendations of experienced cosmetologists. This simple sequence will allow you to demonstrate natural attractiveness and master the basics of a beauty portrait:
- Start with eyebrow shaping. Remove excess hairs, but only from below, to refresh the look and visually lift the “heavy” eyelid. A “falling” ponytail should be avoided: it only emphasizes the flaw. Shade the voids, focusing on the bridge of the nose. Comb the hairs with a special brush, fix with gel.
- A little powder. Work begins with covering the eyelids with a small layer of powder. Or with a primer (fixes makeup).
- Working on the gradient Line the moving part with a small amount of the softest shade from the palette (light golden and others). Then create a smooth gradient in the form of a triangle in the corner of the eye. Do not allow sudden changes, but remember about The best way adjustments - shading.
- Designate contours. The top line should be thicker (it will visually expand the eyes) and not go too far beyond. It's not always worth dropping down. If the eyes seem slanted (the outer corners, in comparison with the inner ones, seem to rise upwards), only the outer edge is outlined with a kayal, shaded with a brush (clear boundaries are useless here).
- Eyelashes. Since they are usually short and sparse in Asian women, they are twisted with a brush and painted over in 2-3 layers.
- Lips. A beautiful shape can be emphasized with a pencil. They also add volume (carry out in a millimeter over the natural boundary).
- circling the eye on both sides, the features do not connect near the nose;
- the upper line is thickened towards the corner and ends with a raised arrow;
- visually, the width increases if you bring it from below from the middle to the outside, gradually thickening it and ending at the border.
almond eyes
The charm of almond-shaped (oblong) eyes is demonstrated by a smooth gradient in makeup. It is created with at least three shades: calm, medium and most saturated (in this order: from the inner corners to the middle and beyond).
dark circles
Circles under the eyes of Asian women are a common problem. They are hidden with a corrector with a peach tint. For eye makeup, you will definitely need a base and bright “paints” (they will work as a “distracting maneuver”).
Makeup for Asian eyes with an impending eyelid
Special makeup that hides such a feature of Asian girls, changing the sad expression on their faces, is created in several stages:
- A make-up base is applied to the eyelids, matte shadows are applied on top of it (mother-of-pearl will not work). They cover the problem area with them: just above the moving part, without leading to the bridge of the nose. To see the area of work, just open your eyes.
- You can use a gel eyeliner to blend everything.
- Thickly paint eyelashes with mascara.
- Do not allow excess foundation cream. Concealer will help, its light-reflecting properties focus on the contours of the face.
- The final touch is tender lips.
You should take warm and cold tones, but exclude all varieties of red (they increase existing swelling). Do not start the eyeliner over the edge. At the bottom of the eye it is better to walk with a white pencil. Shading is actively used in makeup for the best result.

The main mistakes in "Asian" makeup
Even with clear guidance in front of you, it is difficult to immediately get a great result. Often girls make gross mistakes:
- drawing a line along the mucous membrane, they connect both, focusing on the Asian section of the eyes;
- abuse dark cosmetics;
- choose the wrong means.
But do not give up, mastering a special make-up. Basic actions will help you choose your style, and experiments, even bold ones, will create a unique image.
Oriental beauties are distinguished not only by their miniature stature, dark hair and chiseled cheekbones. Another typical feature is the section of the eyes, which is narrower and elongated than that of Europeans. Additionally, Asian women are distinguished by hanging eyelids, a weakly pronounced upper eye fold. Therefore, makeup for Asian eyes is performed using special techniques, differing from the European one in its nuances.
Important nuances
The main task of makeup for Asian women is to visually enlarge and expand the eye section, achieving the effect of a more “open” look. To do this, makeup artists recommend adhering to the following basic rules:
- Give preference to light shades of shadows, especially in a daytime make-up. Such cosmetics are applied to the inner corners, on the moving eyelid, creating additional volume.
- Blend the shadows up towards the eyebrows. This works well for evening make-up, when darker, more saturated shades are superimposed on the eyelids.
- Avoid sharp transitions in colors. Shadows and borders between colors are important to carefully shade and smooth.
- Use straight arrows, especially with a strongly hanging upper eyelid. This feature of the structure is able to hide the contour under itself, so the curved “tails” of the arrows will look ridiculous. Also, slightly blurry, “smoky” lines are more suitable for Asian eyes, rather than clear graphics.
- Choose cosmetics with a matte texture and soft colors. Too saturated dark tones can make the eyes smaller and narrower, as well as mother-of-pearl overflows, which give soreness, unnaturalness.
- Give preference to basic mascara, without a pronounced effect of lengthening and volume.
Almost all shades of shadows are suitable for Asian women, except for red, brick colors. This gamma gives the look of fatigue, soreness, visually reduces the eyes.
It is very important to pay enough attention to the skin of the face in makeup. To make the eyes look bigger and more expressive, the skin should be clean, solid. In some nationalities, the skin has a yellow tint, for which it is necessary to select the correct tonal means. For example, makeup for the Buryat eyes begins with applying creams or correctors with beige or golden tones to the face, the skin around the eyelids. But pinkish shades are practically not suitable for Asian women.
For eyes with hanging eyelids
The overhanging upper eyelid hides a movable fold under itself, giving the look of heaviness. Another such feature is able to lubricate makeup, therefore, it requires the use of persistent cosmetics or the mandatory use of a primer, a base for shadows.
Stepping through eye makeup with impending eyelids, suitable for daytime and evening outings:
- At the preparatory stage, a thorough cleansing, smoothing of the skin, correction of circles, dark spots under the eyes, highlighting the cheekbones with blush.
- The upper eyelid is treated with a make-up base, after which golden or beige shadows are applied to the entire surface.
- Darker tones (brown or graphite) are distributed across the entire width of the eyelid crease, after which they are shaded upwards to capture the visible area above the crease.
- A light beige or pinkish color is applied to the mucous membrane, the inner corners of the eyes.
- Ashy shadows are applied over the entire upper eyelid with a wide brush, and the lower contour is emphasized with a light golden tone.
- With a soft graphite or brown pencil, the upper eyelid is subtly outlined, drawing the line into a neat straight “tail” and shading it.
- Mascara stains the upper eyelashes in one or two layers.
It is important to remember that when the eyelid overhangs, the darkest shadows are applied to the crease itself and around it, and the light ones are applied to the inner corners, under the eyebrow. For the evening make-up of the owner brown eyes can use blue, purple or green shades
Arrows
The following technique, made with a soft pencil or a muted eyeliner, is also suitable:
- The upper eyelid is outlined thin line, capturing only the interciliary space at the inner edge and slightly thickening towards the end.
- From the point of the outer corner, a small stroke is drawn in the direction of the temples, slightly raised to the eyebrows.
- From the extreme point of the “tail”, a small segment is drawn, directed to the crease of the upper eyelid.
- The tip of the last stroke smoothly connects to the base of the arrow, the inner area is painted over.
For narrow eyes, a neat arrow is suitable, supporting the overhanging crease and softening it. You can also make a double arrow, drawing neat ponytails from the upper and lower eyelids, leaving a gap between them, expanding the narrow incision
Step by step daily makeup
Girls of Asian appearance in everyday makeup need to achieve maximum naturalness, while hiding the overhanging eyelid and narrow incision. For this, it is recommended to use matte shades, soft textures. cosmetics.
Performance day makeup step by step:
- A primer is applied to the eyelids, and then shadows of a light neutral shade.
- The outer corner and fold are tinted with a darker shade, not forgetting about careful shading.
- The contour is outlined by a neat soft line, slightly expanding and extending into a straight "tail" at the outer edge.
- The inner corner, the lower contour and the central part of the eyelid are lightened with a white or pale pink pencil.
- The upper eyelashes need to be painted with mascara, the eyebrows are emphasized and fixed with a gel.
For daytime non-working exits, Asian women can use not only neutral shades of shadows (lilac, green, yellow), but it is important that they remain matte and pastel (not bright).
Evening make-up in stages
With the help of eye make-up, made in the correct technique, you can successfully and effectively complement the festive exit. The rules for performing evening make-up are similar to daytime and everyday, but darker and more saturated shades, wide contours and arrows are allowed.
An example of a bright design of narrow Asian eyes for a party or holiday:
- The eyelids are covered with a primer, light gray or white matte shadows are applied on top.
- A triangle is drawn with graphite or brown shadows using a thin brush (an alternative is a soft pencil of the same color). To do this, a small line is drawn from the outer corner to the temple, bending at an acute angle and running along the entire length of the crease of the upper eyelid.
- The contour in the crease blends well upwards.
- The resulting triangle, starting from the middle of the century, is filled with bright colors (crimson, green, lilac).
- A dark arrow is drawn from the inner corner, thickening and turning into a “tail”, coinciding with the previous triangle contour.
- The lower eyelid is highlighted dark color along the lash line (purple, gray, ashy).
- Mascara is applied in 1-2 layers or false eyelashes are attached.
For wedding makeup it is recommended to use a lighter color scheme
The “ombre” technique is excellent for marriage, when several neutral shades are applied from the inner to the outer edge of the eye. In this case, the colors go from light to very dark, and the borders are carefully shaded to create a "smoke".
For an Asian type of face with wide-set and medium-narrow eyes, the Smoky eyes technique is also suitable. It uses even the most dark shades shadows that need to make up the entire upper eyelid and emphasize the lower contour
Asian makeup for European eyes
European women often want to look like oriental beauties by doing Asian-style makeup. For example, young girls tend to imitate the make-up of popular Korean idols. To achieve a puppet effect with makeup, the following makeup tips apply:
- the inner corners of the eyes and the lower mucosa are lightened with light beige or pink shadows (pencil);
- a little shimmer is added to the bottom line and the area at the bridge of the nose to highlight;
- from the middle to the outer edge of the eyes above and below, the color is darkened, but without clear boundaries and transitions;
- instead of eyeliner, a soft pencil is used, with which only the contour is painted, without an arrow;
- Mascara is applied in 2 layers only on the upper eyelashes.
European women, who have more rounded eyes, need to stretch the incision to achieve the goal. For this, elongated arrows are drawn, expanding after the middle of the eyelid and slightly lowered after reaching the outer corner, and then rising with their tips up by 2-3 mm. You can also apply straight double arrows with eyeliner with a gap between the lines.
The Asian face is distinguished by a special structure of the eyes. Oriental girls in makeup strive to increase the eye incision, as well as highlight the upper fold hidden under the impending eyelid. If you use for this smooth transitions of light and dark shadows, the “triangle” arrow drawing technique, straight arrows, then you can achieve your goal.
