I am a makeup artist.



Asian skin tone varies from porcelain to assorted hues of yellow, so selecting the right foundation can be a challenge. Powder is essential to set makeup and provide a flawless finish; blush may help add contour and dimension to your face.



STEP 1: Head to your local department store to test foundation, even if you don't think you'd like to buy there. If you have porcelain skin you might try a shade with a slightly pink cast; all others should stick to yellow-toned formulas.



STEP 2: Test foundation on the inside of your wrist, or have a beauty adviser apply it to a makeup-free jawline. You want a color that seems to disappear, while it evens out your complexion and camouflages imperfections.



STEP 3: Use concealer to hide dark circles and blemishes. Consider green tones to help neutralize redness and a yellow tone, a few shades lighter than your foundation, under the eye.



STEP 4: Choose a powder shade that harmonizes with your skin tone. For most Asian complexions this means a yellow-toned shade, save the very pale beauty, who may do better with a translucent or a pale beige shade with a pink cast.



STEP 5: Add contour to your face with a hint of blush. Look for shades in pale bronze, subtle pink or soft apricot.



Tips %26amp; Warnings



Remember that foundation will look darker in the bottle than it does on your skin.



Choose formulas that work in harmony with your skin type. Drier skins will benefit from a creamier foundation, and oilier skins should stick to a water-based liquid foundation and oil-free powder.



Skip foundation if you're blessed with flawless skin - wear a tinted moisturizer instead. Look for shades that blend into your skin, rather than sit on top of it.



Dark bronzers may look fake unless your skin sports a sun-kissed glow or self-tanner has been applied.

what does "wit" mean in regards to your question?



I understood wit to mean a persons ability to quicly react to comical or sarcastic scenarios, but hey, I have been wrong before.

eye shadow with gold undertones would like nice for your skin tone. or go with a smokey eye look...that's sexy. don't forget the mascara! it will do wonders for your eyes.

Try these and see how it looks on you since you have nice tanned skin, it should work beautifully.



Lips = Mahogany, Wine or Burgundy color (something deep and rich)



Eyeliner = Black or Dark Brown



Mascara = Black or Dark Brown



Eyeshadow = Browns, Tans, Greys



Remember.........less is always more!!!

I say. Go with Just Some light Color Blush, Mascara, and Some Black Eyeliner To line half the side of the Eye. It Defines the Eye. Thats it. Hahha. Im Sure Youll look Great. Have Fun at The Dance

Go with any foundation for sensitive skin... it should match with your skin tone or fairly close.



Use any volumous mascara to pop up those eyes. If you want to use eyeliner... stick with black (dramatic) or charcoal (soft/smoky). I would suggest putting it above the lashes (if you have small eyes and have no experience).



For eyeshadow... purple/pink, green, and silver always looks sophisticated on Asians. I would stay away from blue... because many cannot pull this off.



As for lips... maybe stick with natural colour and add some shine... you can't go wrong with that.



Good luck and have fun!!

what kind of makeup are you looking to do (heavy or more natural)? also what part of asia? Southeast Asia, South Asia, East Asia? usually use the same style of putting on makeup but sometimes it's a little different (i.e. double eyelids or not and skin color).



well here is a japanese magazine makeup tip showing how to do step by step. sorry it's in japanese but it has nice pics.

smokey eye look is in and it looks nice on practically everyone (it does on tanned skin too). in this pic, pink under and bronze/brown on top really looks good. it probably would match a lot of things. you can try different colors and use the same instructions on how to put on the eyeshadow. i usually use a primer/base under the eyeshadow so it'll stay longer (i use MAC Paint as a base). also i think pale (or nude with pink undertone) lipstick (pink-ish) are in...just look for the right color for you.



Links to asian eye makeup step by step (you may need to register to see in some of these sites). some are in english and some are not but they all have great pics (step by step usually). gives some good tips...you can experiment with different colors to see what matches you.

just try different colors to see what matches you most but usually brown eyeshadow matches asians most.
