Asian Eye Makeup Tips: The Natural Look
If you aren't used to wearing eye makeup when you want to look natural, consider changing your routine. Perfecting this look only takes a few steps.
- Sweep a peachy golden-hued eye shadow across your entire eyelid and all the way up to your eyebrows. Then, sweep the same eye shadow across the area along your lower lash line. Make sure the eye shadow color is only subtly darker than your natural skin color. Think of the eye shadow color as the type you would apply to your cheeks -- like a natural blush.
- Apply a very thin line of black eyeliner across your upper lash line.
- Finish with one coat of clear or black mascara on your upper lashes only. Don't use thickening or lengthening mascaras.
- If you have sparse eyebrows, fill them in just enough so that they look full.
