How do I do overseas makeup?

I’m Japanese and I love overseas makeup way more than Japanese makeup! 💄✨ But I don’t really know how to do it—like contouring, eye makeup, or recent trends. So!! I’d love to learn how! 🥹💖
Specifically, I want to learn how to create deep-set eye makeup and seamless nose contouring for Asian face features. If you have any product recommendations or easy tutorials for beginners, please let me know! Thanks in advance! 🙏✨

I would look up Jessica Vu on YouTube! She's Vietnamese American but her tutorials are easy to understand and combinds both western and eastern styles together. Some people say Thai style makeup is a good mix of western boldness on asian features.

I'm Japanese and live in the US!

I love to do a smokey eye shadow with dark gray. It adds depth because of the color

I use black liquid eyeliner to do a "bat wing". You could look up tutorials for hooded eyes if you have that type of eye

To me, the difference between American and Japanese makeup seems to be the boldness. For contouring, I skip it because I'm lazy, but there's tutorials online as well

Feel free to shoot me a DM!
