Chinese ppl...no eye lids..., hard to wear eye make-up...understand? Options

[xtrancie]

well i think it's go out for asian general because some chinese does have eyelids and many other kind of asian doesnt either

i wear eye liners all the time, it's just sometime ppls that doesnt have eye lids wear eyeliners sometime can look like MAJORLY evil LOL. i only have a little bit of eyelid but it's still something.

love your eyes for who you are and it wont matter =)
i wouldn't suggest surgery though x_x
one of my friends had it done to her eyes and..
uhh..
lets just say it came out kinda weird
(plus the fact it was like "WHOA" when i first saw her)
for makeup though, eyeliner on the bottom works well
but going overboard on eyeshadow doesn't help much

p.s. i dont know if this works for all
but sometimes i wake up and i dont have my double fold
*staying up too late at night makes them puffy*
and i get vaseline and crease my eyes
and they come back O_o

[*This Confession*]

I don't see how it would be really hard. I see people pull it off great all the time. maybe you just need some practice at getting it down?

[JenxCrazii]

i`m asian too. i kinda have the same problem.
i have eyelids now; but not before.
when i was little, i used to have no eyelids.
then i had it for one eye; my right eye.
i wanted it for both of my eyes. but no.. i dunno what happened.
i don't think mine is natural.

im asian and i have deep folds
but once again you can put it on the top of your lid

[*mishyerr*]

i wear eyeliner on top and bottom of my eyes, and i have single eyelids. shrugs*
you can wear eyeshadow. just learn how to do it right.

[aznxdreamer]

most asians have double eyelids but its jsut that we dont have deep set eyes like white people do. our faces are flat.

[pandamonium]

lol im asian and i have no eye lids muahahaha

thats so funny.

[pikimoo]

i'm half asian. and sometimes i have double eyelids. sometimes only one eye decides to have a double eyelid, and the other one decides to go asian. joy.

Aggh! Me too! How do you put makeup on? Mine always turns out uneven and looks stupid, so I just don't wear it.

[multifaceted]

Um. I am Asian and I can put eyeshadow just fine.

What are you guys complaining about?

ME TOO....
it bugs me so much.
also... i don't know if it's just me but when i put on eyeliner (on double eyelids) it doesn't really show obviously. is this just me?

[Gigi]

^ No, it's not just you.

It's a not a surprise, really, just the structure and appearance of an Asian eyelid. Single eyelids don't usually show the lashline at all (the one eyelid covers it up). So you might end up putting more eyeliner on. But that ends up making you look whore-ish. Which is why I stray away from eyeliner.

But, on my good days, when my eyelids are more defined, I use eyeliner, sparingly.

I like to use an eyeshadow more, to create an illusion of depth in the eye socket. I use a lighter, light-reflecting shade of eyeshadow to catch the light in the most beneficial areas - inside corner of the eye and under the brow. This makes the eyes look bigger. Curling your lashes also works wonders to open up your eye.

[alysaphobia]

^do you find your lashes stay curled throughout the day?
my eyelashes are of medium length but they point straight down. i'm currently using shu uemera's eyelash curler and it doesn't pinch my eyelids but the curl goes away in only a few hours... sometimes i feel it's a waste to even use eyeliner / mascara?

[Gigi]

^ Do you use mascara after curling your lashes? That should hold your curl for at least a few more hours than that.

[alysaphobia]

yeah, i do. i don't know if this is related but it's always super freaking humid here and a lot of asian girls complain about this.

should i curl in 3 places, maybe? the curl at the top, middle and bottom of your lashes technique?

[Gigi]

^ That's supposed to work, although it liks...totally doesn't for me. It gets all weird...

Try professional eyelash curling, that'll actually last you a good month.

[NgocQuyen]

you can still wear eye make up...just apply it like above-ish? lol i have like really small eyelids i think. so yeah i do that a lot :P

[cupcakex]

Yeah, you just need some practice.
The best thing for you to do is put a darker shade on the actual lid of your eye, because you DO have one, and then a lighter shade, just above, right where the crease begins.

Using too much make up will make you look trashy, since you are asian, and you have smaller eyes.

One of my friends, who's white, has a situation like yours.
She gets very frustrated trying to put make up on, but we recently started expirementing, and things have gotten easier, since she's been getting practice.

And, as so many other have said, for you doing that diagram in paint, good job.
