Tip # 2!: Don't put a crease where there isn't a crease!

So monolids. The "asian" eye.If you try to put a crease on these, it ends up looking like a harsh/messy line just floating awkwardly above the eye.

So don't get me wrong. Not ALL asians lack a crease. I'll show a picture of one that works.

This works because her crease, though not obvious, does not conceal her entire lid. There's just a subtle dip where her eye socket is.

However when the fold of the eye droops over the lid, covering it completely, faking a crease above this can simply look like you have 2 creases. Just plain ridiculous!

My favourite actor in Grey's Anatomy, Sandra Oh, has a monolid. Here's a picture...

Can you see how a crease on her would look silly?

So what should be done with these eyes? Well, there are still a lot of options, so don't be discouraged. Smoky eyes look amazing on monolids, as well as thicker, elongated "cat" eyeliner. Also, I don't know if it's just me, but asian women can pull off the fake eyelash look for everyday wear. I can't, and really wish I could!

However, with prosthetics, anything is possible! :D Just for fun, my lovely friend, Jenna!

She was given a monolid on her left eye :) Enjoy

Crazy News!

Been missing again, I know. What's new?

But I got some crazy news. I am no longer in Trinidad, but I'm in Toronto, going to a Makeup Academy downtown! I'll figure out whether I want to tell you which school it is or not =P

So from now on, I'm gonna try to give you all some tips and tricks that I either learned there or figured out on my own. Cuz makeup should be fun, but bet your bottom dollar it would look 10 times better if you knew some basics and use it to enhance what you got instead of just slapping it on. But imma still keep this fun =) Take care bloggers!

Next post will be a tip!
