25 Amazing Makeup Ideas For Asian Eyes

The right makeup makes eyes look wide and soulful. Special techniques and tips can advantageously emphasize their unique beauty. How to do perfect Asian eyes makeup at home and what to consider in the process? Let's talk about it in this article.

Asian Eyes Makeup Features

Enhancing Asian eyes with makeup, is it really that difficult? Asian women have a sophisticated beauty which is important to properly emphasize with cosmetics. Professional makeup artist Cici Chang has shared some tricks to make Asian eyes look expressive and wide-open.

Asian girls have a beautiful oval face, clearly defined cheekbones and good skin. However, there are issues that can be corrected with makeup:

• narrow eye shape with no distinct crease
• a bit short straight eyelashes
• droopy eyelids

• Prepare your eyelids. Due to specific Asian eye shape, the eyeliner and mascara under the lower and upper eyelids often smear. Try using primer.
• Draw dramatic wings with a long tip to elongate the eye and highlight its almond shape. For a softer smoky effect, shade the wing can with a brush.

• Do not overload the lower eyelid with makeup. This will make you look heavy or tired.
• Apply highlighter or light shadow to the inner corner of your eyes to open them up.

• Opt for matte and powdery formulas like the Eye Makeup Palette (05 Shade & Shadow Garden) by rom&nd, and avoid products that are overly creamy. Asian eyes can sometimes look a little puffy after applying eyeshadow.
• Use shimmer and liquid formulas precisely in the inner eye corners, under the lower lash line or in the center of the upper eyelid. This adds volume and makes eyes look more expressive.
• Choose mascaras with lengthening effect, such as the Hourglass Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara. If necessary, use special eyelash curler.

Useful Asian Eyes Makeup Tips and Techniques

• Choose shades that harmonize with your color type. Green and hazel-eyed girls like Valentina Ignateva can choose eyeshadows and eyeliners in a grey-marsh color scheme, while brown-eyed Asian beauties should use golden beige, coffee and yellow tones.

• Experiment with unusual color combinations, like Samer Khouzami, to add depth to your eyes and brightness to your face. Add darker, richer eyeshadow shades to the outer part of your eyes.
• Apply cosmetics little by little and blend thoroughly.

• Avoid techniques that make your eyes appear smaller, like lining your eyes in a circle with a black pencil. Opt for shaded arrows or soft haze instead.
• Do not emphasize your upper and lower eyelids with dark color at the same time.

• To create depth and dimension, try an ombre look using different shades of the same eyeshadow and an eyeshadow brush.
• Start with applying the darkest shade close to the lash line and move to lighter ones, towards the eyebrows.

Natural Looks For Asian Eyes

Each of the best Asian makeup techniques would suggest that you contour a crease. Yes, this is your key to success. Contouring can be done on your eyelids as well. Just like you contour your face, you can make your eyelid crease look more defined, playing with light and shadow.

Styling Tips: Apply the contouring color along your socket with the help of a brush to get the eyelid crease look. Then dust some highlighter to the middle of the lid to get a 3D effect. Voila!

Smokey Eye Makeup For Asian Beauties

Does Asian smokey eye makeup seem like something impossible to you? We are all used to hear that Asian babes cannot rock smokey eye, but it is so not true in reality! Here is how you can pull off smokey eye makeup:

• 1.Apply eye primer. This step is crucial for babes who have oily eyelids. Eye primer helps makeup get more long-lasting and intensify the eyeshadow colors, making your eyes pop. Smokey eye is about playing with depth and shadows, and the primer will facilitate the process.
• 2.Smokey eye for downturned eyes requires applying a base color. This can be a matte hue that is one shade lighter or exactly matches your complexion. The base will help other shades pop and blend more easily.

• 3.Apply eyeshadow along your outer crease. This will be a transitional hue. It should be a bit darker, comparing to the base hue. And it should be applied along the crease or along the eye socket in case the crease cannot be detected. Go for the V-shape when putting it on, with the point peaking towards your outer eye corner.
• 4.When it comes to smokey eye makeup for Asian hooded eyes, ensure that the transitional hue can be seen above the hood. How to do this? When putting on makeup, relax the eyebrows, look straight and leave matte eyeshadow shades for your outer eye corner and above the hood.

• 5.A darker hue should be applied to the outer eye corner. Many girls think that it’s the scariest part of the Asian eyes makeup application... Don’t worry, as the overall look will be winning! Apply the hue along the transitioning V line.

• 6.Apply one more dark hue to build  up intensity. Choose a shade darker than the one from the step 5.  By the way, keeping to the classic blacks and greys is not a must. You can easily rock blues, greens, purples, etc. Just think about the desirable eye shape. Would you like it to be longer? -Then pull the hue outwards. Would you like it to look rounder? -Pull it a bit upwards, then round up the shape slightly.

• 7.Put a lighter hue on the highlighted areas. This shade can be glittery and shimmery. Pick a lighter hue from the same palette and apply it from your inner eye corner towards the centre. Blend the hues out properly to form a gradient. In case your eyes are hooded, intensify the color under the hood.

• 8.Apply the dark hues from the palette to the lower lash-line. This will make the makeup look complete.
• 9.Put on eyeliner along the lash-line. This step is optional.
• 10.Apply mascara. This step is also optional, but it will definitely enhance your eye look!
