Brown Smokey Makeup for Asian/Hooded Eyes

Allo allo allo!

Here's a simple to apply brown smokey eye look with natural looking skin. Even though I've listed it as makeup for asian eyes, it really can be worn by most people.... it would be the kind of look Kristin Stewart would pull off.

Oh! And if you missed it, I uploaded a video last weekend - a simple bronzer look. Check it out!

Hope you enjoy this video.

I love the makeup look, but I'm just wondering, why do the other models in your vids have really cute outfits while she has an abhorrently naked outfit? It's frustrating enough that americans stereotype female asians as prostitutes and this video seems to promote that. I usually love your makeup videos and don't have anything negative to say about them but please be considerate of your audience for this may give off the wrong impression or message to younger girls and others.

@phnomsompouv I believe I am a strong advocate for healthy, confident and intelligent beauty in all women and Ask Me Makeup is testament to that. I’m proud of this shoot. - Amy

@askmemakeup Dearest Amy, I am Asian myself and don't see why phnomsompouv feels the way he/she does. The model's transformation is beautiful and I love the shoot. The model looks like an angel - simple, pure and beautiful. The costumes went really well with the look.

Keep up the good work. Love and hugs from India xx

[askmemakeup]

@patsmj Thank you for that. x

[bittersweetjess]

Would you consider doing an updated Favorites/What Every Girl Needs in Her Makeup Bag video like you did a few years ago?

[askmemakeup]

@bittersweetjess Yes!!! I've been wanting to and am coming up with a few ideas for the video. :)

[Calpico852]

what contact lenses is your model wearing? I MUST HAVE THEM! im asian and my eye color is very dark. but her wearing those lenses REALLY brought out her eyes. i must must must have them!

[amber8101]

Your model is stunning! Well done!!

[joej01]

@Valeriex8 its in the description i think... :)

[Valeriex8]

[natalielove96]

yeshh~! yr back! love you though :)

[axcvilla]

WOW. I didn't know that such a conversation has ensued n this video. I think I watch this video everyday (well, every other day). still! I think I've watched and rewatched this over and over and that's never happened to me before. Its well made, well thought out, the visuals are stunning, its enjoyable and a definitely useful.

What more can you ask for?

And I'M ASIAN too!

[Melyannadevart]

I have no idea how the model's outfit could be seen as "abhorrently naked" (whatever that means, by the way).

If anything, the model looks cute and pretty!

It is very nice to see a smokey look that works well with dark eyes and a darker complexion, as opposed to the many smokey looks one can see on models with a very light skeen and light coloured eyes.

[kuehkaripuff]

wow.i like her face.
