Everyday Teenage Make Up: Asian Features

Jan 21, 2013

Ena Q.

I am a total, utterly complete beginner on makeup.
I never knew that there were different types of brushes and everything else my knowledge on makeup is just terrible.

As you can see, I NEVER wear makeup, only during New years which is pretty sad. Also, I never seem to have the time to put on makeup.

I'd like to learn natural, easy daily makeup for my asian eyes and such which should take around 5-10 minutes.
If you have photos that would help me guide that would be GREAT.

Thank you!

The most natural look you can go for is probably just applying a little mascara to widen your eyes and give a cute look! You don't need foundation but you can use a primer on its own to make your face feel really soft and moisturised. Applying a thin streak of liquid eyeliner will also suit you. :)

I am an asian too, when I first put make up on I etched LOADS OF YouTube videos and I try to find those which suits Asian's features, because loads of good makeup artists are western onces and they aren't very suitable for us. Some really good recommendations of asian make up artists: bubzbeauty, imweylie, yukiuava. They are asian and good make up gurus. Take a look of their videos, hope it's useful for you!

Well i would wear some concealer to start off. Maybe tarte majuca concealer. After, apply a small layer of white/champagne colored eyeshadow. After CURL your lashea and apply mascara. Last, put on some tinted lip balm and you are good!!!!

for a very beginner, I will recommend to start with 'eye liner' it can be pencil, liquid or gel. In my experience, I start with liquid actually. You can just draw simple line and follow your upper eye line and then the start drawing from the edge of the lower eye line to the middle lower eye line. The last thing is applying blush and powder. then you are done <3
it's so simple and not expensive. But if you want to put foundation, don't forget to find a suitable colour first before you purchase it. Then if you need to conceal everything, you can put concealer. But remember to choose the colour a bit lighter then the foundation so that it will conceal perfectly <3

I'm asian my self and I have semi small eyes. To make your eyes appear bigger is wear a thin winged out liquid liner at the top, curl your lashes and find a good mascara for lengthening, thickening, and volume since asian lashes usually stick straight use water proof (it holds curls better) lastly just put lipbalm on. If you have blemishes or under eye circles use concealer and powder to set it. You don't really beed any eye shadow because I find it hard to put it on since we basically have no eyelids lol.

Apply moisturizer. And you should try BB cream! It has sunscreen, and a light coverage to it! And so mascara and blush. No bronzer or anything. And maybe lip balm!

I use liquid eyeliner for a wingtip, liner on the lower lid, and a nude eye shadow with color on the outer corner of the upper lid and a tiny bit of color on the bottom inner corner. It's hard doing too much complex-type makeup when your eyes don't have the double crease.

Agree with the suggestions for BB cream - or any kind of decent SPF protection, really, since you're still young and most if your skin damage happens before you turn 20 (for realz, ain't that terrifying?).

Maybe a little soft brown eyeliner, for a natural, yet defined look, and for Asian eyes/lashes, I find Clinique's Lash Power mascara great for definition/separation, and it won't smudge in the slightest, and comes off with warm water, since it's a tubing formula.
