Youtube essentially means free education. We bring you some key makeup tips you have to learn to achieve the perfect European Asian look!
The very first step is applying makeup base.
Tip #1: Contouring
In order to achieve the mixed-blood standard of distinctive jawlines and sharp features, you have to contour it right. So, contour your face this way(contour along your face shape, brow bone and nose.) According to Elva, when you spread out foundation and bronzer together, it makes the shading even more natural.
Tip #2: Eyebrows
"Caucasian's eyebrows are usually more angular," said Elva, "you can adjust to suit your face shape." She even used scissors to cut and trim the second half of her eyebrows before drawing in a more archy brow.

Trick: Apply mascara to the front of eyebrows will give you a stronger, more authentic look.
Tip #3: Highlighting
Browbone Highlight
Use a white eyeliner/eyeshadow underneath your brows and blend it out to highlight your brow bone and brow area.
Slimmer Face Highlight
Elva used an orange-brown bronzer/blusher for a more toned-down face highlight.
Trick: Do a C-section highlight from top of your eyebrow to below your eye area. Also, apply some highlight/illuminator on forehead, eyebrows and chin. This will create a more dimensional look.
Tip #4: Eye Makeup
The Eyeshadow
Apply light brown shadow on the entire lid first, all the way to the side of the nose. Then, use a smaller brush for dark brown shadow, go over the lid again to create deep and big eyes.
The Eyeliner
In this tutorial, Elva uses a dark brown eyeliner and suggests that you extend it at the end, just like this. Followed by fake eyelashes.
Tip #5: Double Eyelid Stickers
To create deeper looking eyes, hold a pin down and point out the desired thickness of your eyelid. Then stick a double-sided eyelid sticker to create it. This takes practice. You can do this even if you have double eyelids. It enhances how pretty your eyes can be!
After the stickers.
Tip #6: Eyelashes
Choose volumising falsies and stick it on. Apply mascara to both real and fake lashes.
Trick: Apply mascara base on lower lashes before mascara, this will make your lashes look way longer.
Tip #7: Lips
If you have darker lips, use a concealer on your lips before applying nude lipstick. It is an optional step. Nude colour for this look because it makes your lips look fuller.
