Eyes and Makeup application

EYES

Defining the brow adds strength to the face and is a great way for Asian women to enlarge the entire eye area. Start with the brows using the Eye Brow Brush,
for thin or sparse brows use the Eye Definer Brush, to fill in the brow with an Eye Shadow in the same tone as your hair color. Starting at the inner corner, follow the natural shape of your brow with light, feathering strokes. Soften with the Powder Puff, if needed, and keep in place using the Natural Brow Shaper and Hair Touch-Up.about filament-eye-shadow.

Makeup application
Next, apply a base Eye Shadow from lash to brow, with the Eye Shader Brush. I recommend Bone for Asian women. Then apply a medium shade such as Sable, Toast, Vanilla, or Shell Eye Shadow or Beige Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow to the lower lid, from the lashline to the crease, using the Eye Shadow Brush.

Line the eye along the lashline with Eye Shadow in a darker shade like Mahogany, Rich Brown, Charcoal, or Smoke, using the Eye Liner Brush. I recommend finishing with 3 coats of Everything Mascara in Black, since Asian lashes are often sparse. For a more dramatic look, try Lash Glamour Lengthening Mascara in Smoke. If your lashes are extremely thin, apply a smoky powder liner with the Eye Liner Brush to create the appearance of thick lashes.

Smoky Eye Shadow

Smoky eyes have been a big style for quite awhile and there's no sign this particular trend is dying. Here we show you step-by-step instructions on how to get the perfect smoky eye. The key to the perfect smoky eye is proper blending. You want to make sure colors are blended together flawlessly. Also, it's important to pair light base colors with rich dark colors. Nice mixes include: Soft gold base with deep purple on top, champagne base with bright blue and peach base with green hue.
