"Hi I'm Kelli, I'm an aesthetician and makeup artist at Ulta Salon and Cosmetics and I'm going to tell you some tips that you can use to lighten Asian skin. One of the easiest things that you can do and it's not a very aggressive product for the skin or anything, it's basically a cosmetic agent is because Asians typically have very, very yellow undertones to their skin which can make them look a little bit darker, maybe a little uneven, you can actually use a lavender based foundation primer or you don't always wear it under foundation but basically it helps to take the salines out of the complexion and give you more even tone so that's one thing that you can do to lighten an Asian skin. Another thing that you can do is use a form of brightening serum and I'm just going to put a little bit of this on her even though she's not Asian, you'll be able to see what it does for the skin. So basically when used over time, this is going to help even any discolorations on the skin, it's also going to help to brighten and in turn create a lighter complexion. So any kind of brightening serum, anything like that, is going to help to lighten any discolorations and it's going to help to give a brighter and lighter appearance on Asian skin. So those are some tips that you can do to help to lighten Asian skin."
