Unlike the soft and gentle makeup look with feminine and fresh colors often associated with Korean beauty, Thai girls favor a bolder, more defined, and captivating style. Many Vietnamese women are also drawn to the allure of this unique Thai makeup style. Let’s learn how to achieve this look below.

1Principles of Thai-style Makeup

Create arched eyebrows

Thai-style arched eyebrows

Arched eyebrows are a distinctive feature of Thai women. They tend to pay extra attention to their eyebrows and shape them into a long, curved arch, while still maintaining a soft and defined look. They focus on even the tiniest hairs at the beginning of the brow, carefully grooming and shaping them to achieve a natural yet captivating appearance.

To create this arched eyebrow look, keep the beginning of the brow slightly straight, while curving the tail into an arch. This natural arch shape adds a touch of character to the face while maintaining a soft and gentle overall appearance.

Depending on your skill level and dexterity, you can choose from a variety of eyebrow pencils to practice and perfect this technique.

Thick and curly eyelashes

Bold eyebrows alone are not enough to capture the essence of Thai beauty. To complete the look, focus on creating thick and curly eyelashes or using bold eyeshadow, which is another key element of their captivating appearance.

For this step, you can select mascaras that add volume and length to your lashes. Waterproof mascaras are especially useful as they prevent sweat or water from smudging your mascara.

Some recommended mascaras include the Mascara Odbo Love Sweet Curling Volume OD903 (Thailand) and Mascara Maybelline The Colossal Big Shot Volum Express No.226 (USA), which are perfect choices for achieving those curly and captivating lashes.

Using an eyelash curler for attractive, curly lashes

A few things to keep in mind when curling your lashes: First, place the curler close to the base of your lashes and gently squeeze a few times. Repeat this process as you move the curler towards the middle of your lashes. Finally, do the same with the tips of your lashes.

Thick and curly lashes with mascara

Avoid applying mascara evenly across your lashes as this can weigh them down due to the thickness of the product. Instead, apply more mascara at the roots and lightly coat the tips. Following this order will ensure your lashes look beautiful and flawless after applying mascara.

Alternatively, false lashes can be a great option if your natural lashes are not as full. They can also add a touch of allure and attraction.

Choose nude or earthy-toned lipsticks

To truly embrace the Thai makeup style, it’s important to focus not only on creating bold accents for the eyes but also on enhancing the lips. The combination of Asian features and Western-influenced makeup techniques gives Thai women a unique and distinct look.

What sets this style apart is the makeup for the lips, which emphasizes fullness and uses earthy tones like nude and camel, resulting in a captivating and powerful appearance.

Thai girls pay close attention to their lips when applying makeup. They prefer a blend of gentle Asian features with a touch of Western edginess, resulting in a unique and captivating lip look. The secret lies in creating the appearance of fuller lips using alluring and powerful colors like nude and camel.

It’s not just about the lipstick color; they also focus on the steps involved in lip makeup:

Che khuyết điểm và kẻ viền môi

Start with a moisturizing lip balm to create a smooth base. Then, apply a lip concealer followed by a lip liner, and finally, fill in with your chosen lipstick shade. This process is crucial as it not only enhances the allure and sensuality of your lips but also nourishes them, keeping them youthful and vibrant.

Contouring and bold blush

To achieve a more defined and angular look, typical of Thai beauty, contouring with a highlighting powder is a must. You can contour your forehead, eyes, cheeks, and chin to enhance your features. Just remember to apply the right amount of contour to avoid an overly harsh look, aiming for a radiant and elegant finish.

Use peachy or orangey-brown blush shades and apply them from the apples of your cheeks up towards your temples. This contouring technique gives your face a liberated, elegant, and sophisticated look, perfect for glamorous and classy occasions.

Matte base with brown tones

Unlike Korean makeup, which often features a dewy, pastel base, Thai women prefer a matte base with brown tones that exudes health and vitality.

Instead of choosing a foundation that matches their skin tone or is slightly lighter, Thai women tend to opt for a foundation that is one to two shades darker, accentuating their healthy complexion while adding a touch of glamour. Don’t forget to apply the same foundation to your neck to ensure a seamless blend.

Frequently asked questions

Thai-style makeup is characterized by a dewy, glowing complexion, with a focus on enhancing one’s natural features rather than dramatic transformations. It emphasizes healthy, radiant skin, and incorporates techniques to create a youthful and fresh appearance.

The key steps include: preparing the skin with a lightweight base, such as a BB or CC cream, to create an even canvas; using a concealer to cover any blemishes or dark circles; adding a touch of blush or bronzer to define the cheekbones and give a healthy flush; enhancing the eyes with a natural eyeshadow palette, focusing on shades that complement your eye color, and finishing with a coat of mascara; and finally, completing the look with a lip color that enhances your natural lip shade, often opting for a sheer or glossy finish.

Opt for lightweight, hydrating formulas that will give your skin a natural glow. Choose a BB or CC cream that matches your skin tone perfectly to create a seamless base. For the cheeks, a cream blush in a natural pink or peach shade will add a subtle flush. When it comes to the eyes, go for eyeshadow palettes with neutral shades that can be blended easily to create a soft, smoky effect. Finish with a lengthening mascara and a lip tint or gloss in a shade that enhances your natural lip color.

Definitely! To achieve the signature dewy look, start by hydrating your skin well. Use a moisturizing primer before applying your base makeup. You can also mix a liquid illuminator with your foundation or BB cream to add an extra glow. Highlighting is key – apply a cream or liquid highlighter to the high points of your face, such as the cheekbones, brow bone, and cupid’s bow. Finally, set your makeup with a light dusting of translucent powder, focusing on the T-zone, to ensure your complexion stays radiant yet flawless.

To ensure your makeup stays put, start by using a primer that suits your skin type. After applying your base, set it with a light layer of loose powder. When it comes to blush and bronzer, opt for powder formulas as they tend to last longer. For the eyes, use a primer to create a base and then set your eyeshadow with a matching powder shade. Finally, finish off with a setting spray to help meld all the products together and give your makeup longevity.
