Makeup Trends for Asian Women
Here is a little insight on current looks for women of Asian descent, more specifically Koreans, from an article today in the Chosun Ilbo:
“Natural” and “transparent” are the buzz words, ending years of covering up with thick layers of foundation, powder and color.
Today its still cosmetics, but only the women themselves know how much. The trick of the transparent look is to use nearly the same number of layers but make it look as if their face is a clean palette.
“Before, it was the so-called ‘perfect make-up, an expert says. Also, since Asian women don’t have prominent features, we used to apply thick make-up to make them look more prominent. By doing so, lines were drawn thicker, which made women look older. But now, the ‘in’ style, including fashion, is to look younger, which eventually makes you look more natural. So make-up became more natural and transparent-looking. It’s even ok to show some freckles and blemishes.”
While prominent, Western features used to be popular, some experts say, the pendulum is swinging back to the traditional Asian look.
I wonder where the trend will move as the movie, Memoirs of a Geisha enters the market?
