Michelle Phan
“Well honey, your eyes are just so FLAT!”
I’ll never forget the first time I got a makeover at a makeup counter, and the sales associate said that to me… I went to the counter to feel beautiful, and I came away feeling like there was something I needed to compensate for. AND the makeup the woman put on me looked terrible!!
If you’ve got almond-shaped Asian eyes like I do, you might find it difficult to pull off lots of the looks you’ll find in many magazines and online. Part of the reason I’ve started this blog is so that I can communicate with other people who might be feeling the same thing– and lots of other Asian girls are online as well! I think it’s great that, using the Internet, we can find makeup that suits our faces and tutorials from really talented Asian women from all over the globe — some of my favourites are Taiwanese-American, Chinese-Australian, Korean-American, and Vietnamese-American to name a few.
I can’t talk about makeup gurus without mentioning THE YouTube makeup guru– Michelle Phan. She has really created an Internet presence for herself by making high quality makeup videos that show you step-by-step how to get lots of different looks. She’s also used the YouTube platform to help her launch her own cosmetics line called IQQU. Some of the best products from her line include her sunscreen, which can be applied over makeup, the acne serum, and the rice facial scrub.
But back to online makeup tutorials! Here are some lovely looks from Michelle Phan for you to enjoy.
