Tired of all those YouTube videos claiming to demonstrate innovative makeup techniques for making Asian eyes look bigger without plastic surgery? Well, here's a manga makeup alternative to actual surgery that makes eyeliner, eye shadow, and circle contact lenses seem downright tame.
The original source of the image is unknown, having been passed down blog to blog with plenty of love but no attribution.
The effect is more striking when animated by movement of the lids and brows (see the second half of the first video).
The second video provides a tutorial on technique. Although you will have to allot adequate time to apply the makeup before work each morning, it's still quicker than using eyelid glue and tape.
APSG Comment: While not as natural as the effect obtained with double eyelid surgery, the cost is more down to earth, healing is instant, and overcorrection is easier to handle. Better yet, if your employer or coworkers don't exactly love it or you simply grow tired of it, it scrubs off with soap and water.
