Asian beauty issues

[Lachesis]

To the girls/women of this forum...

What are your beauty issues and how do you deal with them?

I for example have a big problem in finding the right foundation. Every foundation I buy ends up not having the yellow undertone I need. Currently I'm mixing it with green concealer but the problem then is a somewhat grayish look.

Do you have any beauty rituals? Do you maintain a healthy lifestyle or are u like me: smoking, bad eating habit, quick shower in the morning and maybe once in six months I think I should really try out that mud mask thats standing in my bathroom cupboard before it expires...

Did your upbringing included any ancient beauty secrets passed down from grandmother, to mother to you?

In my case my mother only taught me aloë vera is good for the hair, so yes I used it and ended up with green pieces in my hair. Considering hair and nails are just dead organic material, you might wonder what good it actually did.

So, I'm kinda curious...

Clinique nr 07 is a good foundation, looks quite natural, the colour adapts also to ur skin.
Biggest issue is the eyes, especially 4 the ones with single eyelid

Single eyelid?! do you mean like the asianpeople in general, that kind of single eyelid..or do you mean that one eyelid has been removed or something....probably the first....

Some asianpeople has a single eyelid not everyone And it's not removed they're born with it I heard some asians undergo a plastic surgery to fix this (problem)

I mean some of the asian people whom are born with it. Surgery has risks, i duno, u might get more ugly than it already was if the surgery did'nt succeed. However this is not a difficult surgery.

Indeed this seem to be a major issue for many asian women with monolids. However I think that there's also beauty in that, although one might find it hard to express.
Nobody is perfect but eveyone has beautyiful features.

I just stumbled upon this book which might be helpfull.

Thats exactly what I mean, no matter how well u applied ur make up like they did on that youtube video, an eyelid is not possible to fake. The only positive thing is that u will get less wrinkles around the eyes when u get old.
