Got Single Eyelids? Here's Your Makeup Guide

All it takes for those with double eyelids to seem as if they have bigger and wider eyes - if that is what they are going for - is a thin line of eyeliner with a winged tip, easily accomplished with a flick of the wrist.

Those with single eyelids or hooded lids - excess skin which obscures the eyelid crease, sometimes giving the appearance of drowsiness - do not have it so easy: Eyeliner has to be applied in a thicker bar along the lashline to be visible when the eyes are open.

For those with ivory or fair skin, finding darker shades for contouring to give their faces more dimension is a breeze - as contouring powders and creams in such shades are widely sold. But for those with medium to dark skin tones, contouring products that are dark enough to show on the skin are simply not available. Many have to learn to use highlighters for the same effect instead.

And while make-up tips for all the latest trends are widely available online, from wearing pastel lips to creating the perfect smoky eye, these may not be applicable for Asian features such as single eyelids, broader faces, flatter noses and yellow or darker skin tones.
