Asian Persuasion: Tips and tricks for beautifying an Asian face from one of Estée Lauder’s top artists
July 15, 2011
It’s not often I’m asked, “Do you speak Chinese?” when I walk into an interview. Yet this is precisely what happened when I met Alan Pan, the London-based Estée Lauder makeup artist, in Vancouver last month. Pan thinks I’m from Ming Pao, the Chinese newspaper, and while I speak Mandarin, it’s hardly at beauty-interview level. Nevertheless, Pan provides me with makeup tips for Asian faces, offering tidbits on avoiding common errors.
1) Lighten up on the smoky shadow.
2) We, too, can wear bronzer.
3) Yes, mascara works.
