Now that all that Halloween dust has settled, it’s time to return to the Eyeshadow Tutorial for Asian Eyes series!
In the third installment of the Eyeshadow Tutorial for Asian Eyes series, we discuss the Outer V.
Oooh, the MYSTERIOUS Outer-V. That tiny area that has eluded even the best of us.
Before we continue, why not check out the other parts of this series first?

Part 2: Vertical Gradient Method
Where is the Outer V?
As with the Crease and Contour Area, the Outer-V on the Asian eye is quite different from that on the Caucasian eye. It took me a while to discover this as well.
On the (typical) Caucasian eye,
1st stroke of ‘V’: Imagine a line that extends beyond the Lower Lash Line, draw the line towards the brow, careful not to extend beyond the Border.
2nd stroke of ‘V’: Connect with the Crease.
Marlena from MakeupGeek has a great video on the Outer V for Caucasian eyes. I look like a drag queen when I use that method. Lol.
On the (typical) Asian eye,
1st stroke of ‘V’: Imagine a line that extends beyond the Lower Lash Line, draw the line towards the brow, careful not to extend beyond the Border.
2nd stroke of ‘V’: Blend towards the Contour Area (aka Orbital Rim or Socket Line), which is above the Fold.
For other parts of the eye, check out Part 1 of the Eyeshadow Tutorial for Asian Eyes series.
