Jarah Mariano: Even Skin Tone
Possessing a glowing complexion like "Sports Illustrated" model, Mariano, is a priority for all women but "Asian women are generally very concerned about having flawless skin," says Chang-Babaian. To get an even complexion she suggests taking these steps:
Step 1: Take great care of your skin with a consistent routine, which should include removing makeup every night and applying SPF rain or shine.
Step 2: If you have a very uneven skin tone due to hyperpigmentation, freckles, age spots or acne scarring, use a skin tone corrector like Kiehl's Highly Efficient Skin-Tone Corrector, $50 and treat your whole face.
Step 3: Find the right foundation for you. Use the lightest formula you can, only opting for "full coverage [if you have] very uneven skin," says Chang-Babaian. Use concealer on spots that need more coverage and finish with "just a hint" of loose translucent powder. Need help finding a great foundation? Consult this list of top-rated ones.

The step by step instructions were great. However;I find that if I try to line my eyes, I end up looking like I have no lashes.

A lot of these are great tips, but I totally disagree about the one that says not to use black on eyebrows. My eyebrow hairs are blacker than black, so using a lighter color would look absolutely ridiculous.

Thanks for the article. it is so hard to do eye makeup with our no-crease eyes.
