Alright, for those of you who don’t know, I’m not much of a make-up wearing, hair-doing, acrylic nail wearing, shop ’til you drop kind of woman. However, over the years I have come to appreciate the art of being pampered, which often includes frequent trips to the spa for manicures, pedicures, massages and so on.
Most especially, I’ve never been much good at or interested in make-up especially eye make-up because my eyes have never been modeled by the magazines I read or videos I watch. There has always been basically nothing available to learn how to apply eye shadows and liners to the Asian eye.
Then, I found Jinah Chae.
She has found a great niche and is so helpful in providing help to those of us who can’t find it in popular/mainstream make-up artist tutorials. In fact, when I have gone to make-up counters to get help, they just try to apply the make-up as either a white person or a crazy Asian artsy-type, which I am not.
Also through Ms Chae’s video:
I came to realize that there are different monolids amongst us Asians. I happen to have one of the more difficult eyelids for applying eye make-up! At last validated for my feelings of dissatisfaction with typical eye make-up application methods. π
So…with this knowledge under my belt and my life-long desire to have eyelashes I could bat at a cute guy, I decided to go for eyelash extensions and test out the eye shadowing techniques I had learned.
The eyelashes are going to take a little getting used to as they sort of block my vision a little bit, but I like them so far.
Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of my first eyeshadow wearing venture, but maybe you can see it in this photo:
Not sure how I feel about this level up in girliness, but I suppose it could be worse. π
