Asian eyes are a mark of a strange and mysterious beauty. So makeup for Asian eyes is a special chapter in itself. However, you do not have to be Asian to try this kind of makeup. If you want that specific 'Asian' look for your new year party this year then it can be achieved with some Asian eyeshadow shades and styles of stenciling. Smokey eyes makeup is the commonest to make Asian eyes deeper and enchanting.

Here are some basic rules to get the perfect makeup for Asian eyes

7 Rules For Asian Eyes Makeup:

1. Draw Your Eyes Like A Doe: The typical 'doe-eyed' makeup is a salient feature of Asian eyes makeup. You need to draw your eyes in a specific way with the eye liner and kohl (kajal) pencil. Start with a narrow line over the inner portion of the eyes and thicken it around the edges. This gives the eyes an attractive wide eyed look that is very special to Asian women.

2. Arch Your Eyebrows With Pencils: The shape of Asian eyes are such that they look more prominent with arched eyebrows. So to replicate the Asian look you need to either thread your eyebrows really high or else give them the arched effect with an eye pencil. The shade of the eye pencil should match the colour of your eyebrow hair suitably. Pull the line of your eyebrows from the edges and give it a slight peak.

3. Jet Black Is Not A Compulsion: Usually there is a misconception that Asian eyes are always jet black or they use jet black makeup to make their eyes darker. Actually lighter shades like coffee brown or midnight blue can give the same effect to your eyes, if you have deep black eyes then you can use black but if you have light eyes go for deep brown shades.

4. Smudged Look: To get smokey eyes makeup that is typical of this look apply gel or lotion on your eyelid and then draw them with a eye pencil. Rub a little more gel and smudge the contours of your upper eyelid.

5. Mascara Should Be Minimal: Never use too much mascara with this style of makeup because artificially stiff eyelashes will make you look pinched. Mascara should only be used for the curve of your lashes.

6. Darker Shades Of Eyeshadow For Asian Eyes: Use deep shades like brown hues, royal blue and mauve as standard Asian eyeshadow because they lend depth to your eyes and the look in general. If you use light pink or cream it will kill the intensity of the look.

7. Highlight Brow Bone: Apply some highlighter like white or cream on your brow bone to bring out the contrast with your deep eyeshadow and make your eyes more prominent. Merge it well with your dark eyelids so that it doesn't stand out awkwardly.
