foundation: you have to get a foundation color that match your skin tone. If you feel that you want to whiten your skin tone like all asians, you can use green to correct for reddish colors like the areas near the nose. you can use purple base to correct for yellow tone of skin. (i heard that purple color corrects the grey unhealthy tone of asian skin. i haven't found purple powder to give that a try yet, but thats the idea) You can get these at missha foundation (green and purple) for cheap and i think it works decent. i asked this cvs makeup person to help me choose another foundation, she choose loreal tru match cool natural ivory. its slightly ligher skin tone than my actual color and it is a little more pink to correct that yellowish tone i have. just let them know what you want. there are more tricks than that but i m still learning about it at the moment.





mascara: maybelline makes good mascara and even super models like to use that brand. if you want longer lashes try using that maybelline xxl (the one with black and white tips). the white is suppose to lengthen your lash, when its almost dried up... use the black tip to darken. i normally just get the cheap maybelline ones. they work fine.





eyeliner: i use loreal le kohl. personally, i don't like pencil, because of my type of eyes smears the liner. So i use liquid eyeliner, but i hear that gel eyeliner is easier to use because its in between pencil and liquid liner. if you do choose pencil still, get the kohl ones. its softer and easier to apply.





try looking around this guys' website: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmSe6W2pdMY (he speaks chinese, so ask a chinese friend to translate if you don't know. this particular video is how to use gel liner for a person with hidden/slightly covered double eyelid or single eyelid. trust me.. you'll learn so much from watching these videos. they are legit taiwanese makeup artists)





eye shadow: i like the brown colors, because its not as easy to see if i don't blend my colors as well. blending from dark to light is the key. darker colors closer to the lid and blend up. From asian make up artist, they say blue and green are good for yellow skin tones. i had difficulties making my blues look blended naturally and i haven't tried green yet. i think browns are safest. get shadows that already got all the colors picked for you in a pack. additionally, i got myself a black shadow for smokey eye blend. you can use black shadows to make your whatever colors look darker too.





lip gloss: i personally like the victoria secret ones, because it makes the lips look more sexy like angelina jolie's lips.





everything i just told you took me months of research. you lucked out :) haha. anyways hope that helps.
