Summer Makeup for Asian Women 2012


Asian features command a different style of makeup as compared to their Caucasian looking counterparts.  Usually though, Asian women simply stick to one generic form of doing their makeup that is commonly based on western styles.  This may work for some, but it does not give justice to your lovely Asian faceif you keep doing makeup that way.  For some ideas on how to best accentuate your wonderful Asian features using the right make up and the right application, read more about it below.
To start, even Asian women are not immune to an uneven skin tone.  Thus, even out your skin tone with a yellow toned lightweight foundation.  Though you may traditionally think that a yellow tone will drown out your features, it does not necessarily do so when it is applied in the proper quantities.  In fact, it is the pink tone foundations which you should avoid because it will look unnatural on your Asian face.
Next, define your cheekbones ala supermodel style by using a bronzer.  To apply, make sure you have a natural makeup bristle brush.  Apply it only in the portion below the cheekbones and underneath the jaw line.  For extra contouring of the face, you can also apply it in the inner corner of the eyes.
Asian women’s brows usually grow straight out.  To put some shape and arch into it, use a brow pencil.  Just make sure that the color that you choose is the same color or in the shame shade as your natural hair color.
To emphasize the eyes, use an extra fine liquid or gel eyeliner and line without leaving a gap between the lid and the eyes.  Since your eyes are typically smaller, you need to apply a thicker eyeliner in order to emphasize your eyes.

To add color to your face, use a blush in peach shades.  Apply it in the apples of your cheeks appropriately.
Finally, for your lips, you can do well to stick with rosy shades.  For application, try to apply it with your finger.
With all these tips, we hope that you now have a clearer idea on how to highlight your naturally beautiful Asian features properly.  And now you have the perfect makeup to accentuate your lovely Asian features, you can now go out and face the world more confidently!  No matter what your features are, there is always a certain makeup style, application, color, etc. that will surely do the trick!
