Simple Asian eyes makeup

In the previous post, we have shown you how to enhance your eyes without using eyeliner. If you have tried that out and had some degree of success, then welcome to Lesson 2 - eye makeup using pencil eyeliner.

This is still a simple method and not that different from the previous one, just that this time, we are adding more definition to the eyes. This makeup technique is particularly great on asian eyes, hence the title. But of course, it works for everyone.

1. Apply a neutral eyeshadow as base all over the eyelids

2. Use a lighter colour eyeshadow to highlight under the brows, focusing on the inner corner of the eyes to open up and create an illusion of bright eyes.

3. Use gentle strokes to apply the 'frame colour' eyeshadow on the lash line, from the inner corner of the eye towards the outer corner on the upper lash line.Then circle back to the inner corner on the lower lash line. Gently dab more colour to fill any spots to even out.

4. Apply a pencil eyeliner, from the inner corner to the outer corner. Always with light strokes and add more intensity to your liking. Keep on the lash line as much as you can unless you want to be dramatic. Finish with a soft trail at the outer corner for a more natural look.

5. Next draw a fine line on the lower lash line from outside in, along the water line, but only go 2/3 of the way for a more natural look. Smudge the lower lash eyeliner with a cotton bud to soften the line.

6. Apply an 'overlay colour' on the upper eyelid, close to the eyelash. This layer of eyeshadow will be applied on the eyeliner. This helps to make the eye liner last longer, less likely to smudge and looks softer - giving you a more feminine look.

7. Finish with black mascara. Start from the roots and coat the entire length of the lashes. Finally, place the tip of the mascara wand at the root of the lashes of the outermost corner of the upper lash, and gently flick it upwards to add definition to the eyes.

The result: Subtle yet alluring eyes that works for day or night.
