Asian Eye Makeup
Asian-looking girls look exotic and always attract the attention of others. Their brown eyes are called mysterious and alluring. But if a Russian girl can sometimes just walk around with shadows and make up her eyelashes, makeup for Asian eyes has a number of differences.
Makeup Features
The main difference between Asian faces is the cut of the eyes. Their shape is narrow, somewhat slanting, the mobile eyelid almost always hangs and has no folds. Eyelashes are rarely long and fluffy, because Asian girls have to more difficult to adjust the severity of the look. But in most cases, the cheekbones of such a person are very expressive, and the lips are small, but plump. To the disadvantages of the general background, a yellowish undertone of the face and porous skin are added.
Despite such features, the basis of Asian makeup (Chinese women, Japanese women, Korean women, Uzbek, Kazakh girls, etc.) is an emphasis on perfect skin and a light, inviting look. To highlight the eyes, you need to bring the skin in perfect condition. This is a necessary condition, without which a beautiful make-up will not work.
The task of make-up of Asian eyes is correction of the form: you need to visually increase them in size, open the look, make it expressive.
All the subtleties of the “open eye” of makeup imply the use of special cosmetics.. They are based on the culture and traditions of the countries. This is not only eye makeup: to properly create an image you need the harmony of all facial features. Correcting the eye section, it is important not to lose their individuality.
A distinctive feature of Asian makeup is naturalness. What is permissible in our country, they are far from always welcomed. Each make-up is subject to a specific case and should look natural, as if all facial features are perfect by nature. The main thing - to demonstrate the feminine beauty, not cosmetics.
In special cases (a solemn event, a national holiday, a wedding, etc.) some freedom is allowed, but taking into account the traditions of the country. Asian makeup thought out to the smallest detail: every stroke in it has its meaning. Even the worship of fashion trends (anime style, idols) can affect eye makeup, as eloquently indicated by the use of a special glue that lifts the eyelids.
Skin preparation
Asian woman's style - natural charm and health. First you need to put in order the skin: it will accentuate the beauty of the eyes. Before applying cosmetics, clean the skin and rinse it with cold water to narrow the pores.
Skin tone is leveled with the help of foundation, and due to the nature of the natural color of the skin pink shades are not allowed. The tone of the tone should match perfectly with the complexion.
An important nuance is getting rid of dark circles around the eyes: they are unacceptable, as they make the eyes dull and sore. To eliminate these shortcomings, you need to use concealer or concealer one tone lighter than the natural skin color.
The final touch to create a flawless derma will be a light layer of loose powder. Flawless skin should shine, say Asians.
They use a highlighter and a slight accent in the form of blush - so the skin glows with health.
Color solutions
Asian-style eye makeup adheres to natural shades. The palette at the same time can be varied: the basis of the color is pleasant and natural, but it allows for adding soft contrasts to the basic tone. The main thing is to look natural and harmonious. This makeup will be appropriate in any image and is suitable for different directions of style.
Unlike European women, who often show their eyes with aggressive colors, Asian puts an emphasis on natural beauty. An excellent result is achieved by a combination of smooth contrasts and feathering of several natural tones close to the skin color (ombre technique). There can be no chance in choosing the color of the shadows: you need to give your eyes a visual depth.
The palette of shadows for special occasions allows for darker and more saturated colors. It is often present in dark gray and black tones. Cosmetics for national events special. It can include bright and unusual colors up to bright pink, blue, purple, silver.
Red shadows are a taboo: they make the eyes sick, swollen and tearful, the ideal ones are those whose color is close to a natural blush, but slightly darker.
Kinds of make-up
Asian makeup is multifaceted and national. Regardless of the chosen image, it turns out to be rich and harmonious. Brown-eyed beauties know a lot about applying cosmetics, so their eyes are always beautiful, and the image is distinguished by a delicate taste and a certain aristocracy.
Asian make-up can be:
- everyday (day), made in the style of minimalism;
- in the eveningmarked by brighter contrasts;
- nationaldemonstrating the culture of a particular country;
- stage (pop), representing the artist in the best light.
Depending on the specific case, the methods of applying cosmetics may vary.. Makeup options vary with the country of residence of the girl. Great interest in the features of applying cosmetics in order to change the cut of the eyes makes Asian makeup popular. Trying on this style, European girls are looking for a new way of expression, tired of massive makeup.
It should be noted that the make-up in Asian style does not imply face sculpting. It is important to be yourself, so a visual change in facial features is not welcome. In addition, this approach does not fit into the light and mysterious image of Asian.
How to apply?
Beautiful makeup - the dream of many girls. And if the national make-up is different, the classic remains unchanged: it does not matter what country the girl lives in (China, Korea, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Mongolia).
