Makeup for asian eyes: trick for double eyelids.

Originally I wasn't going to do this video, but so many people message me requesting about makeup and tricks for asian eyes.

This trick is typically for asians... go from mono lid to double lids in seconds. Sometimes when you put makeup on asian eyes especially eyeliner, it can come off really quickly, not all the time however. My eyes are sometimes mono and sometimes double lid depending on the day, which is weird. I've seen people with mono lid who have big eyes and people with double lids but smaller shaped eyes, so the steryotypes are rarely true.

This is not just a beauty tip but also helps from smearing of the liner.

I can't stress enough that this is not an attempt to look different of any sort, this is just a trick to help people with makeup problems (mostly for asian eyes).
I love my eyes and I rarely use the tape, but this look has been much requested by some of you, so I hope this helps.

I appreciate my culture and love my looks, and I'm sure most of us asians feel the same way.
Mainstream beauty does not define true beauty, because it's from within.
As the great saying goes "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" so to try to please someone by living up to their standard is a waste of time and energy.

This technique is not to live up the "Golden Standard" of beauty, but to help with the lasting effect of makeup on asian eyes.

I've notice that many asian girls feel more desired or more beautiful if they use makeup to create wider eyes, even some makeup artist on here. I however feel that weather you have big, small , mono lid, doube lid, we are all creations of god and therefore we are all beautiful, it's just too bad that mainstream comercials cannot express it this way.

I tried this, it's very obvious and WAY Worst w/ eyeshadow...I even used the same tape you used...I mean it works but is VERY noticeable.

@MakeupTheNerd dont use eyeshadow.. use eyeliner.. and make sure you cut the tape very thin when you put the liner on, put in on top of the end of the tape.. I guess it takes practice because at first it was very uncomfortable for me as well.. but I suggest only at night when you go out it really helps with the smokey look.

I am not Asian so perhaps I don't understand. This is a very intriguing tip but I think mono lids are so ethnic and wonderfully unique to Asian women so if I were Asian I would flaunt them not cover them. Nonetheless the transformation was very cool.

@chinkyflygirl1 depends what kind of Asian you are. My whole family going back 3 generations...not a single monolid among us. We're Cantonese, btw, which tend to look less stereotypically Mongoloid.

@OhValerieMonCherie monolids are ethnic to SOME asians. the prevalence is actually about half and half. Pretty much the entire southern half of China has natural double lids. I'm from hong Kong and whenever I see someone with a monolids I always assume they're from Mainland China, ie: somewhere "up north." Since most people have double lids if they're of Cantonese descent.

@chinkyflygirl1 - Asian women are beautiful and have gorgeous eyes! But, when we smile and take pictures in flash photography, our eyes disappear, so this is just a good trick to avoid that, and not necessarily to change who we are. :-)

Thank you! I spent a good amount of time doing my makeup for a new years eve event and although it looked good in person, when I saw the pictures, my asian eyes virtually "disappeared" in the pictures, especially when I smiled. That was very disappointing! Thanks for this tip.

Some girls can rock the mono-lid look (I can't).

[chinkyflygirl1]

Wow! This is crazy! I think it's so ridiculous that Asian women want "double eye-lids" this badly. I am 100% Asian and think we are beautiful the way we are, you included!
