If you’re like me, you’ve tried watching countless beauty bloggers for makeup tutorials, only to discover that just a handful of these tips actually work for you. Simply put, as Asian women, some of us have a hard time replicating these tutorials because our face and body structures are different.
Are you less beautiful because you can’t put layers of eyeshadow on your monolids? Of course not. You must simply find beauty bloggers who give advice catered to your features. Luckily for us, these Asian women have been making an impact on the style blogging scene by doing just that.
1. Soothing Sista (Makeup/ Fashion Blogger) : Monolids
As I mentioned earlier, many of today’s beauty tutorials are done by women who have double eyelids. Even though their smokey eye makeup tutorials make them look flawless, whenever I try to replicate it, I end up looking like I got punched in the eye. Eventually, I realized that it was because I have mono lids and the crease is different on my eye shape. I learned this is a frequent occurrence among East Asian women due to the fact that monolids are very common in our genetics.
Looking for a beauty blogger who can give you countless tips about makeup on monolid eyes? Look no further than beauty blogger Soothing Sista. With lime green hair, it’s clear that she appreciates making a statement.
2. So Young’s Beauty Room ( Makeup Blogger) : Natural Makeup
In Korea and China, having natural looking skin is essential. So Young is a unique makeup beauty blogger because she is from Korea and she understands the specific beauty trends catered towards Asian women. In fact, she often highlights the difference between American and Korean style makeup. Her beauty blogs are in Korean but she provides English captions on the bottom for her American audience.

Pony is also a Korean blogger, but her style is slightly different from So Young’s. While So Young gives a personal feel by doing her makeup tutorials in her own room, Pony has her own web series and creates her videos through a Korean media network known as InsiteTV. So Young focuses on everyday makeup tutorials while Pony teaches you how to take famous K-Pop inspired makeup looks and turn them into wearable day time looks.
4. ElaineMokk ( Makeup/ Skincare Blogger): Troubled Skin
Asian women are extremely big on skincare, so when you see an Asian woman suffer from troubled skin, it is especially painful to watch. Being an Asian American woman that also suffers from acne and scarring, often times it is difficult to cover blemishes with foundation. It is especially tricky when Asian women are so adamant on wearing very light coverage foundation.
Elaine Mokk is a skincare blogger that had an extremely severe case of cystic acne. On her channel, she shows different skin care routines and products that are not just catered towards Asian women, but are also gentle for troubled skin.
