Does Asian mean flat and plain? How can my shadow application
bring out definition for my Asian eyes? Can I use the eye makeup
directions in magazines? What are eye shapes and how do they affect my
application techniques? Let's find out!
Eye shapes fall into many variations: Asian, Standard, Wide Set, Close Set, Hooded, and Deep Set. Each one takes a different eye shadow application. The makeup technique you use will mean the difference between a fantastic and flat look. Many women already know their eye shape. Do you?
The Asian eye is known for a lack of a defined eye lid and skin that comes directly from the brow to the lashes without a curve. That sounds plain; but don't despair. Recognize that your shadow technique will be unique to you. No, you won't be able to use the common 'How-To' techniques used in the beauty magazines. Those featured are usually only for the Standard Eye Look.
What to do? Choose a light, medium, and dark shadow. Here are your Asian Makeup, Directions:
• Light shade- Use small amount under eye brow and along the upper lash line.
• Medium eye color- Cover the entire area that isn't already covered with the light color.
• Accent shadow color- Apply from mid eye toward the outer edge of the eye and up, not quite meeting the medium shade. Blend up and out, opening the eye. An Asian technique must- Apply accent color also under lower lashes.

Are you having a problem with your eye makeup creasing, smudging,
running, fading, or sweating off? Pain in the butt! Don't even get me
started... I used to have this problem all the time. That is, until I
discovered this little miracle product. Want me to tell you about it?
For women like myself with small eyes, creasing, smudging, and running is a big problem. I've tried everything, but nothing seemed to help. Even women with larger, fuller looking eyes this can pose an annoying problem. No one wants to be concerned about the way they look, it brings down your confidence.

If you have prominent eyes, then you will want to take special care
when applying your eye makeup. If you are new to applying makeup and are
confused as to how to apply eye makeup because things you read are
contrary to what you should do, here are some great tips to follow.
The standard way to apply eye makeup is to have the highlighted (lightest) shade on your eyelid and browbone, the midtone (darker shade) in the crease, and the accent (darkest color) on the outer portion of your eye.
However, if your eyes are prominent, you must not apply your makeup this way. Before we get into that, how do you determine if you have prominent eyes?

Many women these days are learning how to apply mineral eye
makeup as they have come to realize the benefits of this over
traditional foundations and powders. Mineral makeup does not contain
chemicals which can be found in other cosmetics and thus is natural and
causes no irritation to sensitive skin. But you need to learn how to
apply mineral eye makeup to get a natural and flawless look.
The first step before applying any sort of mineral makeup is to moisturize your skin. Since this makeup comes in powder form, it is necessary to apply lotion to get a smooth and even finish.
If your skin is too dry, then it will look artificial and powdered up and if too oily, will tend to melt away the powder. Wait for almost ten minutes after applying the moisturizing cream and then apply the mineral powder.

Once you reach a certain age it is important that you edit your
makeup down to a minimalistic color pallet because nothing ages you more
then badly applied makeup. Thick eyeliner, bold lipsticks, clumpy
mascara and layered shimmery eye shadow are all applications that can
look really aging and need to be avoided on mature skin. The wrong
makeup application especially around the eyes, will accentuate creepy
eyelids and fine lines and wrinkles. For a more sophisticated look use
colors that are closer to your skin tone that have been artfully blended
in so they look subtle and classy:
Base: As we age our skin becomes drier and visible signs of aging appear such as fine lines, broken capillaries and dark shadows. For this reason choosing the right foundation base is critical in helping to achieve that youthful dewy finish. Start by using a hydrating moisturizer to make your skin look fresher and follow with a high pigment, light textured liquid foundation, that will work to cover blemishes and appear light and luminous on the skin.

If you're brown-eyed and female, you have every right to be smug.
Eye makeup for brown eyes is varied and easy. As a matter of fact, the
brown-eyed woman is lucky because she can do lots of speaking and
expressing with her limpid stare. Most importantly, she has an arsenal
of eye shadows that she can choose from. She can wear any hue and look
gorgeous. She can do greens and not look like a plant. She can use
bronzes and not look like a coin. She can use dark hues and not look
like a cave bat.
The Flecks Say It All
Brown is complex and mesmerizing. Brown eyes are seldom solid in color because they have flecks in them. These flecks should be your barometer in gauging which hue to chose for your eye makeup. The best eye makeup for brown eyes is the one that complements the color of your flecks. What flecks do your eyes have? If your brown eyes have yellow flecks, go for plum or purple eyeshadow. If, on the other hand, your eyes have reddish flecks, use green hues. Green will enhance the red tones in your eyes and at the same time, give them depth.
Liner Love
The same rule in complementing your eye color applies to eyeliner. Your eyeliner color should complement your brown eyes.
