12 Gorgeous Asian Eye Makeup Looks
Ditch your frustration about applying eye makeup by embracing these looks that'll play up your specific eye shape
What's the most frustrating task for Asian women? Hint: It happens in the bathroom. Yup, you guessed it -- applying eye makeup. Each and every time we meticulously pile it on, we open our eyes and … it's totally gone -- not a speck of color in sight. The monolid is to blame and is one of the most common complaints amongst Asian women. It's also the reason why blepharoplasty (or double eyelid surgery) is the second most requested cosmetic procedure among Asian-Americans. Couple that with stubbornly sparse, straight eyelashes and you have the reason why many Asian women give up on applying eye makeup and mascara altogether.

But before you run off, convinced you need to go under the scalpel, check out these tips from Taylor Chang-Babaian, celebrity makeup artist and author of "Asian Faces: The Essential Beauty and Makeup Guide for Asian Women" and "Style Eyes." She shares 12 specific makeup looks and techniques that not only allow eye makeup to show on monolids but also help emphasize the ever elusive Asian eye shape.
She also gives application tips and techniques along with common mistakes to avoid. For example, if you don't have a crease, don't buy the pre-made strips of tape and stick them onto your eyelids (we're not in junior high -- it's not cute anymore), and definitely don't create a faux-crease with eyeshadow … you're not fooling anyone. Babaian goes on to stress that we should all remember that there are many varying eye shapes and great Asian makeup looks exist for all of them. So, without further ado, here are the celebrities we'll show wearing these copy-worthy eye makeup looks: Grace Park, Maggie Q, Michelle Kwan, Sandra Oh, Ming Na, Lindsay Price, Zhang Ziyi, Jarah Mariano, Kelly Hu, Lucy Liu and Margaret Cho.
