Today, I’m writing about Full Underline Eye Makeup for Asian eyes. As an Asian with eyes that have a tail at the outer corner, I’ve noticed that my eyes sometimes appear smaller when I apply eyeliner.
Have you ever experienced this? Despite wanting bigger eyes, I found that drawing eyeliner under my eyes didn’t always achieve that effect. Interestingly, when I look at pictures where the model has applied full eyeliner along the lower lash line, their eyes still appear big. So, why does this difference happen? Eye shapes and lines vary among individuals, but there are common techniques to make eyes look bigger. Let’s explore those methods!
Make a bigger eye makeup key point
1. Full Underline Eye Makeup for Asian Eyes
- Use natural brown eyeshadow to shade the underline. Brown shades create a more natural look.
- Consider using an eyelash curler or mascara on the lower lashes.
2. Placement of Eyeliner
- Draw the eyeliner slightly lower than the mucous membrane of the under-eye.
- Pay attention to the end of the line. Avoid blocking this end, as it can make your eyes appear smaller.
- For an effective trick, apply eyeliner to the side of the waterline in a color shade or an eyelash shape.
My Tip: Remember, small details can make a big difference in achieving the desired eye makeup look!

The Laura Mercier Longwear Creme Eye Pencil is my go-to for filling in the waterline. It’s sturdy and doesn’t break easily. In fact, it’s the best pencil-type eyeliner I’ve ever used. However, if you use it on the waterline, it tends to fade after 2 to 3 hours due to tears or oil.
To make it last all day, apply eyeshadow over it. If you’re using it on the eyelid, I recommend trying other types of waterproof eyeliner.
