i’m asian, and my eyes are on the small side and i don’t have a double eyelid. what kind of eye makeup do you suggest? most fashion magazines just ignore asian eyes when dealing w/ eye makeup which is kind of annoying. also, i read ‘bobbi brown and teenage beauty’, which has a section that deals w/ asian beauty, but bobbi brown just suggested skin-tone eye makeup (tan, beige). colors like that are low-key and good for everyday wear i guess, but what if i want kind of a punk-rockish look? with dark makeup? and what if i want to wear (dark) exotic colors like violet and turquoise? serious answers please.

White eyeliner is great for making your eyes look bigger and further apart. Don't go for dark colours, because they will just make your eyes look smaller. Try clear mascara, and then baby blue, pale green, beige, silver or white eyeshadow. You could even try blue mascara - experiment around with it a little and see which suits your skin tone best.
Well...if you want to wear dark colours on your eyes...they're just gonna make your eyes look small. You can be punky and dramatic without dark colours - dark colours look great on white punks, but what if you reverse it? Use white or silver mascara, maybe? Punky isn't about having dark makeup - it's about being you, standing out and looking dramatic.
Turquoise would probably look quite good though (put a LOT of it on). It all depends on your exact skin tone as well...everyone is slightly different, so just keep experimenting until you find something you like!! :)
Blessed Be,
