The Thai-inspired makeup trend is taking the beauty world by storm, with its sharp and sophisticated look. This makeup style doesn’t require complex techniques; instead, it focuses on creating depth and enhancing one’s natural features.
The Western-influenced look involves a bold eye look with a winged eyeliner and curled lashes. This style has been adapted to suit Asian skin tones and facial features, with a simplified routine for a lighter, more natural base that’s perfect for the warmer Asian climate.
Base
A dewy, glowing base is preferred, creating a “mist-like” effect that enhances the natural beauty of bare skin. This also helps balance the sharp features of the eyes and brows. Thai makeup tends to be less shiny, achieved through contouring and highlighting focused on the nose bridge and cheekbones.
Arched Brows
This brow style is a harmonious blend of traditional Thai beauty and modern trends. The sharp, arched shape doesn’t age the face but instead gives it a more defined and polished look.
Achieve this look by using a brown or black eyebrow pencil to draw a slight arch at the 2/3 point of the eye. Then, use light, feathery strokes that gradually fade towards the tail.
Shimmery Eye Makeup
Thai girls prefer a soft and subtle look with brown and earthy orange eyeshadow, paired with curled lashes. This style makes the eyes appear bigger and more vibrant. To achieve this, apply shimmer eyeshadow across the entire eyelid instead of just the crease. Then, create a thin, sharp wing with eyeliner, starting from the outer third of the eye and extending outward to a moderate length.
Blush
Thai girls often apply blush diagonally from the cheekbones to the temples, creating a natural-looking flush. To achieve this, start with a dewy and glowing base, then choose colors like peach, deep brown, or earthy pink to enhance the natural radiance.
Plump Lips
Thai girls typically opt for nude lip colors that match their eye makeup, such as nude, beige, or earthy orange. They aim for fuller, shinier lips. To achieve this, use the ombre lip technique or overline your lips slightly, then add a clear lip gloss with a subtle shimmer.
