Generally, the eyes on an Asian woman are her most prominent feature. This makes both black mascara and eyeliner the most important eye makeup products for Asian women to use. Additionally, skin tones affect the foundation used on Asian skin as well as other face makeup choices. Asian women must learn how to properly apply makeup so they are looking their best.

    Proper Skincare Routine

  1. No matter the type of skin, proper skincare is imperative to a overall flawless finished look. According to essortment.com, the skin should be cleansed, exfoliated, freshened, hydrated and protected from the sun. This process will leave the skin soft and looking healthy.
  2. Foundation

  3. In order to avoid a washed out look, use a lighter shade of foundation. For a more dramatic look on otherwise fair skin, Asian women should use a more intense color, which will brings out Asian eyes and cheekbones even more. A yellow undertone product should be used, many individuals believe that Asian women should use pink makeup to counteract their skin tone. This however creates a more unnatural look.
  4. Eye Makeup Choices

  5. Before choosing a color, Asian women should determine the amount of fold above the eyelid. If there is a moderate amount of fold available for application, a more dramatic eyeshadow color, such as blue and purple, can be applied. For a daytime look, bronzes and pastels highlight the eyes well. For Asian women with less of a fold, it's fine to use neutral colors, including coral and light gray, while colored mascaras or eyeliners can give drama to the eyes instead.

    Additionally, Asian women must select the proper tools to apply eye makeup. Women should pick a brush that is 3/5 of the space between the brows and upper lash line. Also, a crease brush can create depth that is not otherwise there. This is great for women with less space or less of a fold on their eyelids.
  6. Lip Color

  7. Ultimately, a more neutral lip look is the most flattering for Asian women. Lip color choices include peach, light bronze, brown, berry and red. Because Asian skin is so fair, it's flattering to play up the eyes and lips to create a dramatic makeup look. If an Asian woman has full lips, she can line her lips with clear gloss color inside to make them look smaller. She must use a lip color shade that matches her lips closely.
