Australia is known for its ethnic diversity. From Indigenous to blonde, Mediterranean, Asian, Celtic and dark-skinned, Australian multi-cultural beauty embraces all races, skin tones, hair and eye colouring and exudes a fresh and natural appeal, which reflects the vibrant, laid-back spirit of the country.
Known for porcelain skin, almond eyes and beautifully shaped lips, Asian women need little make-up to enhance their unique features.
Says Nicola Burford, M.A.C Senior Artist, “Most Asian skins have a yellow or golden undertone to them, so they need a foundation colour that has a yellow or golden undertone as well. “
She adds, “Often, if the skin is tanned, a warmer peach undertone foundation is appropriate.”
Blush basics
Blush looks best when applied to the apples of the cheek as this is where you would naturally blush. Says Nicola, “One of my all-time favourites on an Asian skin is MAC Pinch O’Peach Blush, $40.”
Lip tricks
Most colours suit Asian skin tones, but flattering natural shades can include plums, cool pinks, brick reds and taupes.
Eye style
“Dark hair, dark eyes and a golden skin tone complement any choices from the richest blacks and purples to the softest pastel hues,” comments Nicola.
