How to Apply Smokey Eyes for Asian Woman

Smokey eyes is a popular look people try to create with eyeshadow. It involves dark eyeshadow and goes best with a nude lip. When applying smokey eyes to an Asian woman's eyes, a few adjustments must be made to downplay the hooded upper eyelid and to enhance the eye color and surrounding skin tones.

Things You'll Need

• Light beige eyeshadow
• Dark brown eyeshadow
• Shimmery eyeshadow
• Eyeshadow brush
• Eyeliner
• Mascara

Instructions

1. Swirl an eyeshadow brush in the nude eyeshadow.

2. Apply the nude eyeshadow to the entire eyelid, from the lash line to the brow bone.

3. Rub an eyeshadow brush in the shimmery shadow and apply it over the nude eyeshadow.

4. Rub an eyeshadow brush in the dark eyeshadow.

5. Apply the dark brown eyeshadow at the lash line. The eyeshadow should come out at the outer corner of the eye a bit.

6. Blend the dark brown eyeshadow upward to make a natural lower lid that isn't visible on Asian eyes.

7. Apply eyeliner to the upper lash line.

8. Apply the eyeliner to the lower lash line. It should start at the outer corner of the eyelid and go halfway across to the inner eye.

9. Put on a couple coats of mascara to finish the look.
