Bobbi Brown's tips on asian eyes

Defining the brow adds strength to the face and is a great way for Asian women to enlarge the entire eye area. Learn detailed how-to's on defining brows with Eye Shadow and Natural Brow Shaper in All About Brows section.

Next, apply a base Eye Shadow from lash to brow, with the Eye Shader Brush. I recommend Bone for Asian women. Then apply a medium shade such as Sable, Toast, Vanilla, or Shell Eye Shadow or Beige Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow to the lower lid, from the lashline to the crease, using the Eye Shadow Brush.

Line the eye along the lashline with Eye Shadow in a darker shade like Mahogany, Rich Brown, Charcoal, or Smoke, using the Eye Liner Brush. I recommend finishing with 3 coats of Everything Mascara in Black, since Asian lashes are often sparse. For a more dramatic look, try Lash Glamour Lengthening Mascara in Smoke. If your lashes are extremely thin, apply a smoky powder liner with the Eye Liner Brush to create the appearance of thick lashes.

For fabulous eyes, brush a light shadow all over from lid to brow and a medium color from the lashline to three-fourths up. Line eye all the way around with a thick, smoky line, heavier on the upper than the lower lid. Make sure the line is smoky, not thin and hard. Avoid too-dark eye shadow colors that make the eye look smaller.

For long-lasting liner, use Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner applied with the Ultra Fine Eye Liner Brush to create soft to dramatic looks.
