ASIAN EYES : I need makeup help.?

I already asked this question before, but I didn't get much help.





I have Asian eyes, no crease (monolid), and I'm perfectly fine with them. The thing is, I'm kind of bored with the way I do my makeup.





Applying eyeliner is kind of hard with my eyelids because the skin folds under when I look straight, and even more when I look up. When I look down, everyone can see how much eyeliner I wear (which is a lot over the folded skin). I'd like to find a different way to put eyeliner on the top of my eyes because it's hard to get the lines even and I always end up putting a lot more on than I want.





Like most Asians, I have short eyelashes too. I can curl them and all, but you can't really see them because they don't goo past where my eyeliner is so it looks like I don't have any eyelashes. My mascara is fine and all, but I just don't like the fact that it looks like I don't have any eyelashes.








Soo, can anyone help me? Suggestions? Detailed steps? Pictures? Thanks. :)ASIAN EYES : I need makeup help.?
Alright, I've got a few pictures here that demonstrate make up application on Asian monolid or very minor lid eyes. :)

Invest in some pretty eyeshadows, too. They go on and define your eyes better than eyeliners sometimes because they're just more visible. Not to mention, they certainly brighten up your eyes!





Make sure your eyebrows are nicely shaped and defined, too - don't ever underestimate what a difference this makes on your overall appearance! Pluck your eyebrows regularly, use an eyebrow pencil to lightly trace over them, and use an eyebrow gel (a nice one is The Body Shop Brow %26amp; Lash Gel) to swipe those hairs into place. If you don't have an eyebrow gel, use a spare toothbrush, or a finger, and substitute hairspray instead of eyebrow gel. This can make your eyes look a lot bigger and awake.





As for the eyelashes issue, there isn't a WHOLE bunch you can do apart from false lashes - I suffer from the same problem! The best you can do is to invest in a really good, waterproof, lengthening mascara - I like Dejavu Fiberwig Mascara (or ';Imju Fiberwig'; as it's called in the states) because it deposits tiny fibers into your lashes to increase lash length by almost 70-80%! :) This mascara can be found on Sephora.com, Sasa.com, ebay, Amazon.com, etc. - or drugstores in Asian countries. A good eyelash curler is vital, too - you get what you pay for. Shiseido and Shu Uemera make eyelash curlers especially for Asian shaped eyes, and they help your eyelashes get a more natural curl. If you're having trouble holding the curl, gently heat up the eyelash curler with a hair dryer for about 3-5 seconds - then curl lashes. Never skip mascara - it makes a big difference! Contrary to what somebody said above, curling your lashes does not make them fall out - only if you're squeezing excessively! It actually opens up your eyes a lot more and makes your lashes actually visible, if you don't curl them nobody'll see them.








I hope that helped! :) Good luck!! If you need a more detailed explanation of the pictures application, feel free to message me!ASIAN EYES : I need makeup help.?

With eyeliner..close one eye and with the other open apply it. For Asian eyes I think that a dark liquid eyeliner on top with a medium thick line and wings out on the outer corner of the eye is gorgeous.





Don't bother applying eyeliner on the bottom lid..but if you do using a pencil looks best because it isn't as harsh..and two harsh lines can close the eye.





As for your eyelashes, you can go to a salon and get eyelash extensions that last for quite awhile. However, if you have sensitive eyes they may irritate them. They aren't that expensive at all either.





When using mascara, use a lengthening/volumizing formula. Actually, I've found that curling mascara such as Sky High Curves by Maybelline lengthens very well, as well as curls. I start from the inside corner and work my way out. I apply several coats without letting each coat dry. The tips of eyelashes are practically invisible, so really work the mascara wand at the very tip to give more length. Also, really work from the base of the lash up. My mascara wand usually touches the upper rim of my lid and I curl the wand inward as I stroke it up. Then I work on the upper parts of the lashes.





I hope this helps a bit!!!
i'm asian too and i deal with the same problems you do, except i have some sort of double eye-lids but they're retarded in a way lols but instead of using eyeliner, you should just use some dark brown or black eye shadow to define your eyes because eyeliner is to thick and eye shadow gives that defining yet natural look (put lotion or something on so it'll last longer). for your eye lashes, dont ever use an eye lash curler because it makes them look smaller and kind of retarded (you'll loose a lot of eye lashes in the process too). instead, you should just put on the mascara in a way that lifts your lashes. do that everyday from now on and your lashes will gradually look lifted/slightly curled in a natural way. using a curler makes it look unnatural (if you have short lashes).

She also has uneven eyes and one appears to be monolid. With the right makeup technique and especially false lashes you can create the illusion of really big eyes. Hope it helps

a liquid liner is great for making thinner lines for your upper lid and false eyelashes can give you a sutle eyelash extension. there's tape now you can use to get more of a crease in your upper eyelid.

Try bright, eye catching eyeliner--MAC shadesticks are really good. They are waterproof, too so they won't transfer to the upper part of your eye. Have you ever tried false eyelashes? You can buy them so theres only like 3 hairs per section so you don't have this huge line of falsies! Put a few on the outer corner of your eyes. That would look really pretty. And they stay on all day! I would recommend a MAC shadestick (16.50)in a bright color, try ';Royal Hue'; , Ardell individual lashes ($3), a navy blue mascara(navy will brighten and widen your eyes!), and line the inside bottom of your lid with an iridescent white liner. Stick to a nude, or light pink gloss. Since you'll have bright colors on your eyes, it'll still be subtle because you'll only get a glimpse when you blink.
i am sory i dont know i am not asian lol.
