Eyeliner is definitely one of the harder cosmetics to apply. However, like everything else in life, the harder you work at it, the better the results. Eyeliner can make the difference between the illusion of a large or small eye, and a sexy or plain eye. Back in the day there were not many choices for eyeliner. Liquid liners were too runny and pencils were hard and painful to work with.

False eyelashes are something most women, Asian or not, are afraid of trying. I've definitely coerced many women into trying them for the first time whether they were young adults or in their seventies. You can make them look natural or dramatic. It depends on the type you choose.

Many questions had been asked about false eyelashes, mostly because they seem nearly impossible to apply to Asian eyes and they look so great on us. They really make a difference in the way our eyes look. The most important thing to remember when applying eyelashes on Asian eyes is that the base of the lashes must be applied as close to your lash line as possible.

The eye shadows of today have greatly improved from our mother's eye shadows. Some eye shadows now even contain antioxidants and light reflectors. And the color choices are endless! Here's a guide to help you make the right choice for the look you want.

For eye makeup, the eyeshadow is a determining factor. Sweep a touch of shadow over your lids to accent eyes. You can define them, add drama and make them stand out in a few quick steps suitable for different occasions.

The shape of most Asian eyelids are flatter than other women's eyes. That's not a bad thing. You can change your look so much because you have a lot of lid space to work with. You just have to know what to do and how to do it.

Enchance your lips with these tips and be proud of your sensuous soft lips that make you appear younger and stand out at all occasions.

When changing the natural lip line to create the illusion of a smaller or larger mouth, it's important to keep it looking subtle and natural. I recommend a lip liner that is one or two shades darker than your natural lip line. Even for red shades I often use a neutral lip liner and go over it with my lip colour choice.

The look of your brows can change according to your makeup style. For example, when I want to create smoky eyes and light lips I usually make my brows appear defined but definitely soft, whereas when I want dark lips and light eyes I prefer a slightly darker brow. This is based on preference, so you should make your own choices depending on what type of look you prefer.

Lovely shaped eyebrows act as a frame to set off your eyes, just like how your hairstyle sets off your face and a picture frame sets off a beautiful painting. It's certainly not an exaggeration to say that brow shape can make - or break - your look. Now you can lovely brows too!

Ages ago, powder came in a brown compact and was a light pink. It was a horrible match for most skin—you could see it from a block away!

Warning: Do not always believe what you read in magazines! A while ago, one of the current beauty magazines in Asia wrote of a brand of concealer as the best concealer of the year. The same concealer had been reviewed many times as a worthy concealer, but not for Asian women. Make sure when you read "Best Beauty Product" awards they're referring to products that work for Asian women, not just the masses.

Most, if not all, women are on a constant search for that perfect concealer. What they don't realize is that even if they find one, their needs will change over time. With your skin texture constantly changing due to environment or mood, your concealer will need to change, too.
