Asian skin tone varies from porcelain to assorted hues of yellow, so selecting the right foundation can be a challenge. Powder is essential to set makeup and provide a flawless finish; blush may help add contour and dimension to your face.
Steps:
1. Head to your local department store to test foundation, even if you don't think you'd like to buy there. If you have porcelain skin you might try a shade with a slightly pink cast; all others should stick to yellow-toned formulas.
2. Test foundation on the inside of your wrist, or have a beauty adviser apply it to a makeup-free jawline. You want a color that seems to disappear, while it evens out your complexion and camouflages imperfections.
3. Use concealer to hide dark circles and blemishes. Consider green tones to help neutralize redness and a yellow tone, a few shades lighter than your foundation, under the eye.
4. Choose a powder shade that harmonizes with your skin tone. For most Asian complexions this means a yellow-toned shade, save the very pale beauty, who may do better with a translucent or a pale beige shade with a pink cast.
5. Add contour to your face with a hint of blush. Look for shades in pale bronze, subtle pink or soft apricot.
Tips:
Remember that foundation will look darker in the bottle than it does on your skin.
Choose formulas that work in harmony with your skin type. Drier skins will benefit from a creamier foundation, and oilier skins should stick to a water-based liquid foundation and oil-free powder.
Skip foundation if you're blessed with flawless skin - wear a tinted moisturizer instead. Look for shades that blend into your skin, rather than sit on top of it.
Warnings:
Dark bronzers may look fake unless your skin sports a sun-kissed glow or self-tanner has been applied.

Go for the brown mood colors and black eye liners and stick with the cat eyes look. If i draw it for you it would be to easy. Use white pencil above your eye lid and then black liquid eye liner on top of that , but not covering all the white liner, Shape your eyebrows fine but still there dint remove them fine them up a bit, and then use brown lip liner and pencil around your lips and use a moisturizer clear and shiny and you are ready to go. No foundation go natural.

* The Best Makeup for Your Coloring *
Here's a surprising tip: To identify colors that will work for you, use your hair as a guide (not your eyes)! If you're a blonde, go with creams and taupes. Brunettes look great in mochas and chocolate browns. If you're auburn or redheaded, choose shades of copper, peach, and reddish browns or cool tones like pinks and lavenders. Gray hair looks gorgeous with tones of grays, soft purples, and blues.
No matter what your hair color, look for depth and complexity in these colors; they shouldn't look like they came from a box of crayons. Another color tip: When you're doing a look that requires more than one color, start with the lightest shade first, then move on to the darker tones. If you're unsure about colors, stick to neutrals. You can still achieve drama and variety with neutral tones -- they're actually my favorite to work with.
Here are my best color tips for each part of the face:
Eyes: If you want to experiment with color, but not go all the way, you can ease into it by accompanying a color with a neutral, such as lilac on the lid and brown in the crease. Peach or light blue also look great next to neutrals. Choose soft shades of these colors and you'll be fine.
Cheeks: Color selection is important here. Go for blushes with a neutral base, using your own coloring as a guide. Sometimes I mix pink with nude to get the right shade.
Face: Foundation should always match your skin tone. Don't try to fake a porcelain face when you aren't that fair. Likewise, don't try to fake a two-week vacation in St. Bart's if you aren't that dark. Anything other than your real color will look like a mask. Remember, foundation should disappear on the skin.
Lips: Lips don't lie -- the natural pigmentation of your lips should be the underlying tint of every lip color you wear. That's why the same lip color always looks different on you than on your friends. Most brown-based lip colors look more natural, even when the color's deep. Case in point: brownish red is easier to wear -- and looks softer -- than a bluish red.
You can get many different tones and textures out of one tube of lipstick. If you want blue-toned lipsticks to look browner and more neutral, start by applying a brownish lip pencil over the entire lip, then apply lip color over that to create a new shade.
If you prefer paler lips, cover them with a light coating of foundation. Then apply a light color over that. This is also the way to get the truest color from any lip product, as it minimizes your natural lip color.
* If you have brown hair *
Eyes:
Dust bone shadow all over the eyelid and medium brown on the lid from lashline to crease. Use mahogany as a liner.
Lips:
Lip color with brown undertones and a hint of pink or plum work best for brunettes.
Cheeks:
Choose a shade of pink that looks like the color of your cheeks when they're naturally flushed.

Try using shades of brown, or Maroon, and for your eyes put eyeliner and maskara, dont put kajal, as it maker your eyes look smaller.
