Eyeshadow/ Eyebrow

Advice from Lynn:

-Eyeshadow-

-Most Asian are not suitable for pink eye shadow as it might make the eye look puffy.

-The more suitable color for tanned skin tone is suitable for the warm color such as green, brown yellow and orange.

-For fairer skin, cool color like blue, purple pink will be more suitable.

-When applying powder eyeshadows, the powder simply goes anywhere.

-You can use a tissue to prevent the powder from falling on or you can apply a thin layer of foundation under your eye and you will be able to brush the powder off easily.

-Eyebrow-

-Choosing an eyebrow color is important as it will affect the look of the person.

-The best is to have an eyebrow color close to your hair color and also blend with your skin tone.

-If you have a darker skin tone, try to use grey or dark brown eyebrow color instead of dark black.
