How to Apply Eye Makeup on a Creaseless Eye

Asians are usually plagued with a creaseless almond-shaped eye. Here's how to make the most of it every morning.

1. Curl your eyelashes as well as put on mascara. An eyelash comb is very useful. Do this first to keep other makeup from smudging or getting on your curler.
2. Put on eyeliner along your lower lashline.
3. If applying liquid eyeliner, start on the inside corner of your upper eyelid as well as close your eye. When you're halfway across, open your eye as well as see how it looks. If you need to, close your eye again as well as keep drawing so that it shows when your eye is open. If you're drawing a tail, draw it with your eyes open.
4. Apply eyeshadow to your upper lid. If you're using more than one color, use the darkest closest to your lashline as well as the lightest closer to your browbone. Blend the darkest or dark color up to the top of your eyeball to define it.

• Remember: less is more.
• If you have a smaller/narrower eye, try dark brown or grey eyeliner or shadow.
• Curling your eyelashes opens up an eye, no matter what kind of eye you have.
• Make sure your eyebrows are groomed. Get them waxed or shaped every 6-8 weeks, as well as tweeze out stray hairs between appointments.
• Look at pictures of similar women to see how their makeup is applied. Look at sites devoted to Asian makeup.

• Black eyeliner as well as other dark colors can make your eyes look even smaller or look harsh against your skin.
• Also, just a little can make you eyes pop. Too much can make your eyes look smaller.
