How-To for Monolids!

It is rare to see women and men with monolids. Incase you don’t know, monolids are eyes with no creases and most female Asians have these.

Today this is more targeted to those Asians living in the UK that might be interested about how to do proper monolid eye makeup.

I know that it is difficult to find magazines or anything similar that help girls with eyes like us to apply make-up on.

I honestly did not know what to do. I have always preferred to have eyes with creases because there was just more help and almost everyone I knew, had them.

But I have found several YouTube makeup tutorials for monolids that are helpful and will boost your confidence to be proud of having those eyes.

Click on the link which will take you to a website where there is a video tutorial of a girl applying makeup according to a MAC face chart for monolids. 

I thought this was one of the best tutorials! I have tried pointers out from her and they helped really well! One thing I would like to add though, I have discovered that if you warm up your eyelash curler with a blow dryer (make sure it’s not too hot!) then the actual curl will hold much longer.

It is great that there are also other videos available, that go through the makeup process step-by-step and with different colours. There is gold-purple, orange-gold, pink-green and quite a few more.

I think it is fabulous that they give options for you to choose from. The steps after a while are pretty basic, and they get repeated. For instance, if you watch the gold-purple tutorial video, you can use almost any colour you want and follow the steps again.

If you are in a rush, definitely take a look at the “5 Minute Daily Look for Monolids”. It is very simple, and it only requires eyeliner, no matter if it is pencil or liquid.

Some celebrities who have either have monolid eyes or similar eyes, Asian almond shaped, are actresses for example, Lucy Liu, Bai Ling or like korean singer, Boa. So if you want to try makeup of these celebs or any other, just let me know and I can give you a step by step tutorial on how to achieve their looks.
