Makeup For Asians

Struggling to find the best brand of makeup or way of applying it? 

Here’s a complete list of dos and don’ts for Asians… makeup-wise.

♥ DON’T ♥ 

• Wear too much eyeliner •

• Have too much blue/green eyeshadow •

• Choose an eyeshadow color that’s too dark •

• Wear false eyelashes that look too long and fake •

• Attempt to change the lightness or darkness of your skin tone with a completely different shade of foundation. It will end up looking like a mask •

• Use a heap of glittery eyeshadow •

• Use tester lipsticks straight onto your lips. It’s unhygienic. Smudge some onto your fingers before applying •

♥ DO ♥ 

• Look out for foundation that has yellow undertones •

• Test your foundation on your jawline first •

• Use lots of sky blue. Asian skin loves that color! •

• Store lipstick and perfume in the refrigerator. It’ll last longer •

• Outline your lips in pencil before you apply lipstick or gloss if you don’t want your lipstick to feather •

• Always, ALWAYS wash off your makeup before bed •

♥ Develop a signature scent! ♥

It’s nice to have a smell people can recognize you with. But don’t just pull out any old perfume. A signature scent takes time to discover. Choose a scent that’s uniquely you and something you actually like.
