Sandra Oh: Highlighted Features
According to Chang-Babaian, Asian women usually attempt to create depth in their faces by using blush, but she says that's a big no-no. Instead, ditch the blush and use darker foundation on shadowed areas (see the previous slide for the how-to) and highlight your face where the light naturally reflects off of it as Oh perfectly illustrates here. To do this, blend a "white, opal or slightly golden toned [cream] along the center of the nose, inner corners of the eyes and along the tops of the cheekbones," says Chang-Babaian. Try Smashbox Artificial Light Luminizing Lotion, $24.

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.
