I'm still figuring out the happy medium of enhancing the beauty in my monolids — and still feeling like myself — with the changes in trends and products.
The first time someone did my makeup for me, I was in seventh grade. My best friend at the time had started experimenting with makeup, and I thought she looked beautiful. I thought I would too. But when she added her finishing touches to me, and I looked in the mirror, I didn’t love what I saw. The eyeshadow just didn’t flatter my eyes the same as it did hers. Probably because she had, or double eyelids in Korean — aka the visible crease between the eyelashes and eyebrows. I don’t.
I told her no. The thing is, I loved, and still love, my monolid eyes. No shade to anyone who has had double eyelid surgery. I think we all deserve to present ourselves the way that we want to. But my monolids are what make me distinctly me — and I’ve always thought that I have my dad’s eyes. I would never want to change that.
In the late 2000s, YouTube makeup tutorials set the foundation for today’s mega content creation scene. They featured beautiful girls, who were mostly white, and they largely covered how to do a smokey eye, the trend at the time. But when I tried to follow their step-by-step instructions, I could never produce the same result. Their eyes were justI was floored.
