1/14
Deep red lips + well-placed highlights
Fair Asian skin will always look impeccable with a dark red lippy and a bit of a shimmer along the cheekbones and forehead. Go for simple eye makeup to play down the bold lip look.
2/14
Kissed pink
Give your cheeks and eyes a hint of peachy pink blush and shadow for a fresh and feminine look.
3/14
Bold and earthy shadow
Dark jewelled tones for your eyeshadow will work a treat on warm skin tones.
4/14
Sweeping winged eyeliner
A bold look, to be sure, but the winged eyeliner look is a captivating one if you have almond-shaped eyes.
5/14
Sweeping winged eyeliner (cont.)
Colouring in the entire eyelid to create your sweeping winged liner look will generate an hypnotic look that will turn heads.
6/14
Killer eyes
For eyes that truly pop, draw in your brows with a light shade to frame your face, then line your eyes with dark eyeliner. If you want an illusion of a wider double eyelid, pencil in your desired effect. Finish off the look with a chic red lippy.
7/14
Hints of coral
If bright pinks or deep reds aren't your thing, slight variants of orange and coral can create a subtler look on Asian skin.
8/14
Natural and glowing
Keep your brows natural and go bare with your eyes. A flawless foundation and a sweep of highlighter here and there is all you need for a simple and minimalistic daytime look.
9/14
Bold up the brows
For some definition, play up your dark brows with even more colour.
10/14
Smoky eyes with a hint of shimmer
Slight metallic or shimmering eyeliner in dark and smokey hues will sit nicely on warm skin tones.
11/14
Warm tints
Warm and earthy tones like brown or rust can definitely flatter your complexion.
12/14
Have fun with glitter
Try out some glitter over your eyelids if you're thinking of a fun night out. Keep the makeup on the rest of your face relatively simple to let the shimmer work its magic.
13/14
Natural pout
Skip the lip liner and opt for a natural, glossy look in a subtle pink shade for a sweet date night look.
14/14
A bit of bronzing
For a complexion that needs a hint of colour, brush on some bronzer on areas such as the side of the face and the forehead.
