Asian Eyes: Gold & Taupe

By Urhappybunnie @joaniebunnie
It's been awhile since I've done a makeup look like this. I think the last one I did was for my circle lens review. I've been watching too many Korean dramas lately and those led me to sporting dolly-eyed makeup looks again. So basically this makeup look aims toward creating bigger and elongated eyes. This look is really good on Asians since most have smaller eyes (like mine!) however, I find that other races can pull this look off too! :) 
This focuses on eyeshadows that are limited on the small crease area and eyeliner that extends the eyes. For this kind of makeup, usually the eyeshadows are not softly blended so you could definitely see harsh edges.

Eyes would look bigger with longer and fuller lashes. Add false lashes to make the final look dolly. I skipped this because I just couldn't find my lash glue. :( Circle lenses that have 14.5-15mm diameter will really make the eyes look bigger. I am wearing GEO Nudy Brown circle lenses in the photos. :) A white/peach/light pink eyeliner instead of black eyeliner at the bottom waterline would also give the illusion of brighter and wide eyes. I opted for black eyeliner since I always look weird with using white in my bottom waterline.
