How to properly apply makeup on Asian eyes. Asian makeup: 10 tricks from oriental beauties

What makeup suits Asian eyes, how to choose the ideal tone for “yellow” skin, and what beauty trends should moon-faced girls adopt? Professional makeup artist, stylist, personal shopper ASIA studio style Elena Shotkinova knows the answers to all these questions.

P.A.: Elena, first tell us about your experience in the field of beauty, please. How did your passion for the art of makeup begin?

E.Sh.: Since childhood, I love to draw, dress up, and design. I have always drawn inspiration from literature, painting, fashion magazines, cinema, travel and communication with people. All this still shapes my taste.

At first, I used my knowledge in the field of fashion and beauty to create my own image, and at a certain point, relatives and friends began to listen to me, seek advice, and ask my opinion regarding their appearance. It was they, my close people, satisfied with their own reflection in the mirror, who convinced me of the need to develop in this direction. And, in gratitude for the services rendered and the time devoted to them, they began to pay for my work. So the hobby logically grew into a professional activity.

I received a diploma as a makeup artist and opened ASIA studio style. We provide a range of professional services for make-up, style consultations, shopping support in Irkutsk, the Irkutsk region, and often work with clients from Ulan-Ude and Buryatia.

But even now my learning does not stop for a moment. Every day you learn something new, adopt other people’s experiences, and experiment. After all, a professional is an expert, he is always aware of all trends and new products, he is the first to learn and begin to apply new techniques. Of course, I follow the work of my colleagues, world-famous celebrity stylists and makeup artists, bloggers and major trendsetters. We live in the information age, when acquiring knowledge is not a problem, all you need is desire and inspiration.

And I am inspired by the surrounding beauty - the beauty of nature, objects, faces. Well-groomed, stylish, tastefully dressed people always attract my attention and often delight me.

P.A.: Many Moscow makeup artists admit that they do not know how to paint Asian eyes. What do you think is the most difficult thing about makeup for Asian girls?

E.A.: Indeed, many makeup artists fall into a stupor and do not understand how to paint a “flat” eye, devoid of an obvious fold of the upper eyelid, how to correct a wide face, protruding cheekbones or our chubby cheeks. They often use inappropriate textures of cosmetic products and choose the wrong intensity of pigments. In a word, they do not take into account the features of an Asian face, of which there are also several types. But for many Asians, they all look the same.

In this regard, everything is clear to me and my colleague (note: ASIA studio style makeup artist Irina Shotkinova), we ourselves are the owners of a bright Asian appearance and know firsthand all the nuances that may worry our girls. In addition, I myself have never been satisfied with the work of a “European” makeup artist, so I decided to become a professional myself.

E.Sh.: Let me start with the fact that if you have any problems with your skin, it is better to immediately contact a cosmetologist. No extra money? There are also free public clinics. The main thing is not to engage in amateur activities! As for make-up techniques, they are more international:

1) moisturize your skin, paying special attention lip skin;

2) when applying foundation, never don't distribute it in dots all over the face for subsequent shading - in these places it has time to gain a foothold and you will eventually get spots;

3) I advise intensively draw the interciliary space black or dark brown pencil. This will make your eyelashes appear thicker and your gaze deeper;

4) always curl your eyelashes for a more wide-open look, intensively painting them from the roots in two layers with lengthening mascara;

5) it is necessary to have foundations of two shades in your cosmetic bag: light and darker, in order to mix, choosing the color that best suits the skin depending on the time of year. Also, foundations of dark and light shades will allow correct the shape of the face, make it sculptural.

6) I recommend that you master techniques for oily and dry face correction by signing up for a makeup lesson with professionals! The makeup artist will introduce you to your own face and its proportions. She will teach you how to select cosmetics and master basic makeup techniques that are right for you. (Such a service with the option of disassembling a cosmetic bag is presented in our ASIA studio style, its duration is 1.5 hours, the cost is 2000 rubles.)

“Any image will not be complete and harmonious without makeup. The “correct” make-up will always highlight your natural beauty and correct small imperfections. It is believed that girls and women who “don’t wear makeup” have too high an opinion of themselves!”

P.A.: What do you think are the most common makeup mistakes Asian women make? How NOT to apply makeup? Do you have any beauty taboos?

E.Sh.: For several seasons in a row, emphasis on eyebrows has been in fashion. I am glad that so much attention has been paid to this element of the face - eyebrows, along with tone, are indeed the most important point in makeup. But at the same time, they most often become the subject of ridicule. Unfortunately, very often our Asian beauties literally disfigure themselves with black, clear, intensely colored at the bridge of the nose, too short or too long, old-fashioned round or triangular graphic arts. Dear girls, please give up once and for all eyebrow tattoo and use grease pencil, even if your eyebrows are missing as a genre. Eyebrow tattooing is a taboo! Grow yours as long as possible and contact a professional makeup artist to create a fashionable, beautiful, naturally defined eyebrow line.

Work Asia Studio Style

It is often possible to observe incorrect application of blush. Girls either draw the shadow low, then the lower part of the face “floats” down. Or you can clearly apply blush along the cheekbone cavity, then the cheekbones become even more pronounced. Remember, blush is applied to the apples of the cheeks towards the temples!

And further - There is no such thing as brown blush!

You should also be careful with pearlescent textures. When thinking about adding shine, beware of another effect - swelling.

I would also like to note that our Asian girls often have the sin of wearing evening makeup from the very early morning. To put it mildly, dark smoky eyes and/or red lipstick don’t look entirely appropriate at 8 am.

P.A.: How to choose the right foundation/BB cream for Asian skin? Do we really all have a predominant yellow undertone and therefore should we look for foundations with yellow pigments (and in no case with red)?

E.Sh.: Asians are a yellow race. Indeed, most people living in Asia have a dark, yellowish skin tone, especially those living in southern latitudes and areas with intense solar activity. But let's not forget that northern peoples, such as the Yakuts, Evenks, Western Buryats, etc. often have very fair skin with pink undertones or even uniformly snow-white skin of a cold shade.

The ideal tone should blend with your skin tone and match the color of the skin on your neck. Moreover, the color of the foundation always depends solely on the natural shade of your skin at a given time of year (darker in summer, lighter in winter).

Again, there is a neutral palette of colors: from the lightest to the darkest with beige pigment. Such products are suitable for everyone, including helping to neutralize both excessive yellowness and pink, reddish tones.

Each brand offers tonal products in a cool, warm and neutral palette. Designations of tones with the letters W, C, N mean: warm - warm, cold - cold, neutral - neutral.

P.A.: What makeup trends are there today that are perfect for Asian women?

E.Sh.: Our type of appearance is now in great demand in the global fashion industry. Asian models take part in the best shows of the season and set trends, inspiring us all!

In the spring-summer ’15 season, ideal radiant skin devoid of imperfections, wide eyebrows, and Nude makeup are unrivaled.

If you are the owner of sunny freckles, this season they do not need to be covered with thick corrective products, but even need to be emphasized.

For Asian eye makeup: feel free to draw graphic, jet-black arrows. The thickness can vary from thin for an office option to thick and curved, a sort of theatrical option.

An alternative is bright eyes, with unusual colored arrows along the upper or lower eyelid, or double arrows, when the black one is duplicated on top of the colored one:

Or maybe someone will like it monochrome application of shadows on almost the entire eyelid, for example, yellow or bright blue.

Asian women are charming and attractive, but they have some peculiarities that make classic makeup techniques useless. The special shape of the eyes, combined with a massive upper eyelid and short eyelashes, and a yellowish skin tone require a special approach to Asian eye makeup in order to highlight their advantages, making them even more attractive.

1. Concealer. Due to the natural yellowish tint, milk, caramel, coffee and golden foundations are the most advantageous for Asian women. But there are also exceptions (whitish skin or, conversely, chocolate), for which you need to select other options.
2. Eyeliner. You will need white eye corrector (eyeliner) to increase volume while maintaining natural attractiveness (a thin strip is drawn along the bottom) and black. For eyebrows - a little lighter than hair (for Asian women they are already quite expressive). A fixing gel will not be superfluous. It will secure the hairs in the desired position for a long time.
3. Mascara. “Open” the eyes and correct the overall impression with the help of voluminous mascara.
4. Shadows. The standard recipe for cosmetologists is to purchase a dark and light version of the same color. Several variations from the same range are allowed. The smooth transition adds mystery. It is better to give preference to a matte texture. Glossy and pearly ones are good for festive eye makeup.
5. Pomade. Here the scope for creativity is enormous: 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.
6. Blush. Coral, peach, lavender refresh and create an attractive glow.

You should pay attention to creamy pigments; they make it easier to smooth out transitions. Dark ones are useful for shading eyeliner. If possible, you can additionally purchase a gel eyeliner; it is easier to give them narrow and neat outlines. Golden sparkles will also come in handy; with their help, you can create a playful festive look. To highlight your cheekbones, use a bronzer.

Basic order

The proposed procedure is traditional in the makeup of girls with Asian eyes, suitable for all occasions, for daytime and evening wear, you should deviate from it only for the sake of bold experiments or on the recommendations of experienced cosmetologists. This simple sequence will allow you to demonstrate your natural attractiveness and master the basics of a beauty portrait:

1. They start with eyebrow correction. Remove excess hair, 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, placing emphasis on the bridge of the nose. Comb the hairs with a special brush and fix with gel.
2. A little powder. The work begins by covering the eyelids with a small layer of powder. Or with a primer (fixes makeup).
3. Working on the gradient. Place a small amount of the softest shade from the palette (light golden and others) on the moving part. Then create a smooth gradient in the form of a triangle in the corner of the eye. You should not allow sudden changes, but remember the best way to adjust is shading.
4. Mark the contours. The line at the top should be thicker (it will visually widen the eyes) and not go too far beyond. It is not always worth bringing down below. If the eyes seem slanted (the outer corners, in comparison with the inner ones, seem to rise upward), only the outer edge is outlined with kajal and shaded with a brush (there is no need for clear boundaries here).
5. Eyelashes. Since in Asian women they are usually short and sparse, they are curled with a brush and painted in 2-3 layers.
6. Lips. A beautiful shape can be emphasized with a pencil. They also add volume (draw a millimeter above the natural border).

• tracing the eye on both sides, the features do not connect near the nose;
• the top line thickens towards the corner and ends with a raised arrow;
• visually the width increases if you bring it from the bottom to the outside, gradually thickening it and ending at the border.

Almond shaped eyes

The charm of almond-shaped (oblong) eyes is demonstrated by a smooth gradient in makeup. It is created in at least three shades: calm, medium and the 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 concealer with a peach tint. For eye makeup you will definitely need a base and bright “colors” (they will act as a “distraction”).

Makeup for Asian eyes with drooping eyelids

Special makeup that hides this feature of Asian girls and changes the sad expression on their faces is created in several stages:

1. A makeup base is applied to the eyelids, and matte shadows are applied on top of it (pearl shadows are not suitable). Cover the problem area with them: just above the moving part, without going to the bridge of the nose. To see the area of ​​work, just open your eyes.
2. You can use a gel eyeliner and blend everything out.
3. Apply thick mascara to your eyelashes.
4. Avoid excess foundation. Concealer will help, its reflective properties concentrate attention on the contours of the face.
5. The finishing touch is soft lips.

You should take warm and cold tones, but exclude all varieties of red (they increase the existing swelling). Don't push your eyeliner over the edge. It is better to go over the bottom of the eye with a white pencil. For the best result in makeup, shading is actively used.

Basic mistakes in “Asian” makeup

Even with clear guidance, it is difficult to get excellent results right away. Girls often make serious mistakes:

• drawing a line along the mucous membrane, connecting both, focusing on the Asian shape of the eyes;
• abuse dark cosmetics;
• selecting inappropriate means.

But don’t give up when mastering special makeup. Basic steps will help you choose your style, and experiments, even bold ones, will create a unique image.

National Asian beauty is perfect, it is different from the rest, it catches the eye, and it is especially pleasant to look at those cases when competent makeup for Buryat eyes is done. Buryat girls are not always suited to fashion trends and advice from trendsetters in the makeup industry, even the most eminent ones. Modern representatives of this nation strive to look like models from glossy magazines, dye their hair and use blue eye shadow, which destroys their uniqueness and originality.

Such a girl by nature should not strive for brightness, they are already beautiful, and you need to think about this first of all when choosing cosmetics to match your image, and not vice versa. Being original is not boring, it doesn’t suck, it means being proud of your unique beauty and grace!

Being original is not boring, it doesn’t suck, it means being proud of your unique beauty and grace!

When deciding on makeup for Buryat eyes, you should pay special attention to skin tone and devote time to this aspect. Girls with Asian features are usually given yellowish skin by nature, which does not go well with the pink shades of correctors, foundations and makeup bases. In this case, it is better to use beige, tan and gold tones. You need to follow the rule - the foundation should be a little lighter than your own skin tone in order to avoid a stale look of makeup and a tired look. To give their face freshness, Buryat women need to use blush in their makeup, the ideal option being neutral or natural shades, for example, peach.

Now let's turn to. If you really want to make the Asian cut of the eyes larger, then you should decorate the eyelids in light colors, namely gold, pale pink. As an example, you can give this makeup option to create a sophisticated and delicate image of a Buryat woman: neat eyeliner, a little pink eyeshadow and a lot of mascara on the eyelashes. It’s not a bad idea to try another option - beige matte shadows and mascara, which together form the image of a natural Asian beauty, as if she is not wearing makeup at all. But champagne-colored shadows or other neutral shadows in light colors will help highlight the beauty of the eyes and raise the eyebrow line, which will also make the eyes look larger. If there is no desire to hide your national flavor, but, on the contrary, you even want to emphasize it, then the eyelids should be decorated in darker colors - black, dark blue and purple, brown and gray, bronze.

The look of Kazakh eyes: beautiful nature

Another representative of the Asian type of appearance is Kazakh women, each of whom should master the skill of how to create makeup for Kazakh eyes, so as not to lose this feature to nature. The oriental charm and uniqueness of the Asian look have long been actively used by the world's leading makeup artists; cosmetologists know many techniques and ways to decorate slanted eyes, a feature of which can be sparse eyelashes and a prominent shade of facial skin, as well as drooping eyelids. But all this cannot be considered a disadvantage, this is a characteristic feature, and what is especially attractive in this type of appearance needs to be emphasized, and what is not very attractive should be corrected with the help of cosmetics.

Makeup for Kazakh eyes requires more careful selection of decorative cosmetics for eyelids and eyelashes than in the classic European case. As always, before directly decorating the eyes, the skin needs to be prepared for this - cleaned, moisturized, corrected, matted. It is even somewhat easier for Kazakh women to deal with the issue of color choice, since they have dark hair and brown eyes, to which almost the entire palette of shadows, both cold and warm shades, is suitable. The task is different - they need to be correctly distributed in front of the eyes, highlighting particularly attractive features and hiding what is not particularly attractive. The most successful combinations will be beige and green, dark gray and cream, pearl shades.

But what makeup for Kazakh eyes does not tolerate is the red range, since the use of its shades will give Asian eyes even more swelling, making them look tired and tear-stained. It is important to correctly emphasize your ethnic features, and not hide them, trying to look like an ordinary European or even mistakenly highlight what you shouldn’t. Each race is undeniably beautiful in its own way, and there are no ugly girls, just incorrect makeup!

Asian girls can be proud of their expressive facial features. Almond-shaped eyes, warm-toned, clean skin, neat lips - all this is worth emphasizing with the help of cosmetics. Makeup for Asian faces, done correctly, can literally work wonders.
So, for Asian makeup you will need:

• foundation;
• eyeliner or eyeliner;
• mascara;
• shadows;
• shadow base;
• eyelash curler;
• eyebrow pencil;
• lipstick and lip pencil;
• powder.

Before we begin “cosmetic repairs,” we evaluate the initial data. The main color tones are determined by the skin tone. For Asian women, it is usually the color of brown sugar or warm almond. The right choice for Asian makeup would be a yellowish foundation. Many girls with this type of face prefer a pinkish tone, believing that it will soften and even out their natural color - this is a wrong opinion. A pink tone will turn your face orange or white, and in both cases it looks unnatural.
Often the problem with this type of face is an earthy undertone - this can be softened with corrective powder, applying it to the protruding parts. It is better to use sunscreen and creams containing SPF - dark spots may appear on the skin of Asian women from the sun.
For the eyes, it is permissible to choose bright, deep colors that will open up and make the look more expressive. Dark circles under the eyes are quite common on this type of face: they will be hidden by a peach-colored corrector or a yellowish concealer.
When making Asian makeup, you should avoid cool tones, as well as tones paler than your natural skin color. Be sure to use a base for the shadows, as shadows and eyeliner can run due to the peculiar structure of the eyelids of Asian women.

Daytime Asian makeup for a casual look

There is no need to wear bright makeup in the morning. But it is worth correcting the shortcomings and emphasizing the advantages.
The first step in Asian daytime makeup is cleansing your face. You can use your usual means. Next, the skin is wiped with tonic, day cream and foundation of the selected color are applied. Using a corrector or concealer, we “hide” circles under the eyes, spots, and imperfections on the skin.
Let's move on to the eyes. Shadows for narrow, slightly slanted eyes are chosen in light shades. Beige, cream, sand, green, soft pink colors are perfect. Apply the base, then apply the shadow directly with your fingers, blending towards the edge.
Next is the eyeliner. It is applied in a thin layer, as close to the eyelash line as possible.

In Asian makeup, the eyeliner is drawn beyond the edge of the eye with a thin arrow.

Eyelashes should be curled. As a rule, Asian girls do not have thick eyelashes, but this can be corrected with lengthening mascara applied in two layers.
Now the eyebrows. Make them neat so that excess hairs do not protrude anywhere. For Asian makeup, highlight them with a brown pencil or eyeshadow of the same color.
On the lips - lipstick in a matte natural tone.
Cover your face with powder and your Asian makeup is ready. It can be used for work, business meetings, walks - it is universal.

Girls of Asian appearance look exotic and always attract the attention of others. Their brown eyes are called mysterious and alluring. But if a Russian girl sometimes just needs to apply shadow on her eyelids and apply eyelashes, makeup for Asian eyes has a number of differences.

Makeup Features

The main difference between the faces of Asian women is the shape of their eyes. Their shape is narrow, somewhat slanting, the movable eyelid almost always droops and does not have a fold. Eyelashes are rarely long and fluffy, which is why Asian girls have a harder time correcting the severity of their gaze. But in most cases, the cheekbones of such a face are very expressive, and the lips are small but plump. Added to the shortcomings of the general background is a yellowish undertone of the face and porous skin.

Despite such features, the basis of makeup for Asian women (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Uzbek, Kazakh girls, etc.) is an emphasis on flawless skin and a light, alluring look. To highlight your eyes, you will need to bring your skin into perfect condition. This is a necessary condition, without which beautiful makeup will not work.

The task of makeup for Asian eyes is to correct their shape: you need to visually increase their size, open your eyes, and make them expressive.

All the subtleties of “open eye” makeup imply the use of special cosmetics. They are based on the culture and traditions of countries. This is not only eye makeup: to properly create an image, you need harmony of all facial features. When correcting the shape of the eyes, it is important not to lose their individuality.

A distinctive feature of Asian women’s makeup is naturalness. What is acceptable in our country is not always welcome in their country. Each make-up is tailored to a specific case and should look natural, as if all facial features are naturally ideal. The main thing is to demonstrate female beauty, not cosmetics.

In special cases (celebratory event, national holiday, wedding, etc.) some freedom is allowed, but taking into account the traditions of the country. Asian makeup is thought out to the smallest detail: every touch in it has its own meaning. Even the worship of fashion trends (anime style, idols) can affect eye makeup, as evidenced by the use of a special glue that lifts the eyelids.

Skin preparation

Asian woman style – natural charm and health. First you need to tidy up your skin: this will highlight the beauty of your eyes. Before applying cosmetics, you should cleanse your skin and rinse it with cold water to tighten the pores.

The skin tone is evened out using foundation, and due to the nature of the skin's natural color, pink shades of the product are unacceptable. The shade of the tone should perfectly match your complexion.

An important nuance is getting rid of dark circles around the eyes: they are unacceptable, as they make the eyes dull and painful. To eliminate these shortcomings, you need to use a concealer or foundation that is one tone lighter than your natural skin color.

The finishing touch to creating a flawless dermis will be a light layer of loose powder. Flawless skin should glow, say Asian women.

They use a highlighter and a small accent in the form of blush - so the skin glows with health.

Color solutions

Asian-style eye makeup sticks to natural shades. The palette can be varied: the base color is pleasant and natural, but allows for the addition of soft contrasts to the main tone. The main thing is to look natural and harmonious. This makeup will be appropriate in any look and is suitable for different styles.

Unlike European women, who often show off their eyes with aggressive colors, the Asian woman puts emphasis on natural beauty. An excellent result is achieved by combining smooth contrasts and shading of several natural tones close to skin color (ombre technique). There can be no accidents in choosing the color of shadows: you need to give your eyes visual depth.

The shadow palette for special occasions allows for darker and more saturated shades. It often contains dark gray and black tones. Cosmetics for national events are special. It may include bright and unusual colors, including bright pink, blue, purple, and silver.

Red shadows are taboo: they make the eyes look sick, swollen and tear-stained; the ideal ones are those whose color is close to the natural blush, but a little darker.

Types of make-up

Asian makeup is multifaceted and national. Regardless of the chosen image, it turns out rich and harmonious. Brown-eyed beauties know a lot about applying makeup, so their eyes are always beautiful, and their image is distinguished by subtle taste and some aristocracy.

Makeup for Asian women can be:

• everyday(daytime), made in the style of minimalism;
• evening, marked by brighter contrasts;
• national, demonstrating the cultural characteristics of a particular country;
• scenic(variety), presenting the artist in the best light.

Depending on the specific case, methods of applying cosmetics may vary.. Makeup options vary depending on the girl’s country of residence. Great interest in the peculiarities of applying cosmetics in order to change the shape of the eyes makes makeup for Asian women in demand. Trying on this style, European girls are looking for a new way of self-expression, tired of heavy makeup.

It is worth noting that Asian makeup does not imply sculpting the face. It is important to remain yourself, so visual changes in facial features are not welcome. In addition, this approach does not fit into the light and mysterious image of an Asian woman.

How to apply it correctly?

Beautiful makeup is the dream of many girls. And if the national make-up varies, the classic one remains the same: it doesn’t matter what country the girl lives in (China, Korea, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Mongolia).

Doing Asian eye makeup is actually not as difficult as it might seem.. If you follow each step step by step, you can quickly master the technique of an expressive and alluring look.

The work of creating beautiful eyes begins with applying an eyeshadow base. If this step is ignored, the cosmetics may look sloppy within a couple of hours after application.

Day

Discreet and everyday make-up is a universal solution. To create it you don’t need a whole artillery of cosmetics: a standard set of cosmetics is enough:

• forever apply light shadows, creating the effect of large eyes and depth;
• upper eyelid tint with a dark tone of cosmetics, not forgetting the outer corner;
• at the base of the lash line the contour of the moving eyelid is drawn with liquid eyeliner;
• upper eyelid center highlight with white shadows, creating a volume effect;
• use the same color to draw a couple of strokes along the lower border of the eyelashes and at the outer corner;
• It's mascara time: it is applied in two layers to the top and very little to the lower eyelashes, not forgetting to comb them thoroughly, eliminating the sticky effect;
• remains to be emphasized eyebrow line natural eye shadow color, adjust your face tone, apply light lipstick or clear gloss on your lips.

Due to the natural color scheme of the shadows, such makeup will not look bright, even if the eyes are accentuated with eyeliner.

Evening

Evening makeup can be brighter than daytime makeup. It allows the use of a wide line of eyeliner and several layers of mascara. One of the most popular techniques for applying shadows is ombre. Her principle adheres to the rule: the closer the shadows are applied to the eyelash line, the darker their color. With this technique it is possible to make your eyes expressive and your eyes large.

The technique itself is no more complicated than the previous one:

• before application for decorative cosmetics, the eyelid is prepared using a base;
• then light shadows create the appearance of depth at the outer corner from the eyelid to the eyebrow line, applying shadows along the upper and lower eyelids;
• careful shading– a mandatory technique that allows even dark shades to look beautiful and natural;
• dark shades draw the lower and upper eyelids, smoothly stretching the tone;

• ombre effect secure with a brush;
• remaining funds on the brush you can go along the eyebrow growth line (literally a couple of strokes);
• for eye enlargement you can use eyeliner: first draw a thin line from the inner corner (at the very line of eyelash growth);
• without touching the inner corner, add thickness to the eyeliner line;
• remains to apply eyelashes and make your eyes wide open with the help of an eyelash curler.

Korean style

The technique of Korean idols does not leave many girls indifferent. This is a unique doll image, which, despite its unusualness, looks natural and beautiful. The basic rule remains unchanged: perfect skin is the basis for success and expressiveness of the eyes.

The method of applying cosmetics allows the use of a pencil and work with the lower eyelid:

• to the upper eyelid area apply the base;
• after the base the eyelid is shaded with light brown cosmetics, slightly darker than the skin tone;
• the closer to the border of eyelash growth, the darker the shade of shadow is chosen, not forgetting to stretch it upward;
• along the border the lower eyelid is applied with a barely noticeable touch with light shadows: this will enlarge the eyes;

• dark shadows needed to accentuate the outer corner: they are applied in the direction from the outer corner to the middle, not forgetting to add a drop of product to the lower eyelid;
• no eyeliner needed: draw a line along the eyelash line with a brown pencil;
• eye accent should be soft: the line should be gently shaded;
• after the shadows next comes the turn of mascara: it is applied in two layers to the upper eyelashes and barely combed through the lower ones;
• All that remains is to add blush– and the image of the Korean woman is ready!

How to choose cosmetics?

Choosing the right cosmetics is not an easy task. The difference between Asian eye makeup is the use of special cosmetics, Most of them are made specifically for this type of skin and eyes. European analogues do not always give the desired effect, since their purpose as a whole is a decorative function. In addition, you need to select cosmetics taking into account your facial skin type.

Special products are developed taking into account the additional effect and are intended not only for correction or care, but also to protect the face from ultraviolet radiation, as well as other negative environmental factors. This is long-lasting cosmetics that do not slip or smear throughout the day.

Eyeliner is one of the favorite techniques of Uzbek, Chinese and Korean makeup. Its consistency should be liquid, and its color should be exclusively black. The shade of the pencil can be black and brown. Some girls add a white pencil to their makeup bag.

A standard makeup set should include foundation, concealer, eyeliner, pencil, eye shadow, mascara, blush, clear gloss and lipstick. Advanced fashionistas use special cosmetics: cushions and tints. A cushion (a special pad impregnated with foundation) is a good replacement for foundation and is applied in a thin, natural layer. Tints are cosmetics for eyebrows, eyes and cheeks. By choosing such products, you can be confident in the durability of your makeup.

When buying Asian-style cosmetics, you need to consider a number of nuances:

• perfect shadows– matte and similar in tone in the palette;
• flawless foundation– one whose texture is light and uniform;
• good mascara– medium texture product with a lengthening effect and a comfortable brush;
• mascara color dark brown for daytime makeup, black for evening makeup;
• day lipstick should be almost unnoticeable, evening color allows for a hint of richness.

In addition, when purchasing cosmetics, you need to pay attention to the expiration date. You should not apply makeup with expired products, so as not to harm the health of the skin.
