Even though there seems to be a greater proliferation of Asian eye makeup tips these days, the same type of questions still seem to go unanswered: "How can I do a smoky eye without looking like a panda?" "Why does my liquid liner end up in the middle of my eyelid?" "How should I apply color on my lids so that it shows when I open my eyes?"

To finally solve the mystery of how to apply makeup on Asian eyes, I talked to celebrity makeup artist and Asian-eye expert Taylor Chang-Babaian, author of "Asian Faces: The Essential Beauty and Makeup Guide for Asian Women" and one of my favorite how-to makeup books, "Style Eyes."

Here are three gorgeous looks that you can adjust to fit your specific eye shape. No more panda eyes here. See my favorite Asian eye makeup tips now.

This is a guaranteed no-fail look, perfect for everyday wear or for pairing with a bright lip. To get it:
Step 1: Apply an eyelid primer first if your eyeliner tends to transfer to your lids throughout the day. Then apply foundation on your eyelids and under your eye. (Tip: If you use eye cream, wait for it to fully absorb before applying primer or foundation.)
Step 2: Lightly dab and blend stick concealer, which tends to give thicker coverage, on the inner eye corner and over any dark circles. Set with translucent powder.
Step 3: Apply a champagne-colored or shimmery gold shadow like Padma Lakshmi's to the base of your lids. Blend along the inner corners and under your brow bones.
Step 4: Skip liner if you want a more natural look. But if you're looking for more height and definition, draw a fine line as close as possible to your upper lashline with a sharp, black pencil liner. (Try COVERGIRL Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner, $5.79.) If you have monolids, you may have to play with how far up you draw the line for it to show when your eyes are open.
Step 5: Curl your lashes using a metal eyelash curler. Make sure to walk out the curler so that you don't end up with L-shaped lashes. Step 6: Apply several coats of black mascara immediately after curling. Opt for a waterproof mascara, which has a lighter formula and a drier consistency that helps set your lashes' curl, says Babaian.

• If your eyes are close-set, extend your liner slightly at the outer corner to draw your eyes farther out.
• If you have monolids, thin lids, or oily lids, use a waterproof liner to prevent smudging.
• Asymmetrical eyes like Lucy Liu's are a common issue with monolids, says Babaian. If one eye is noticeably smaller than the other, apply the liner a tad thicker on the smaller eye so they look even when your eyes are open. Also, curl your lashes more on the monolid eye. Curling your lashes helps push the eye open, making it look bigger.

This classic smoky eye look, definitely a do for nights out, is easy and works on every eye shape. To get it:

Step 1: Apply an eyelid primer. Then apply foundation on your eyelids and under your eye.
Step 2: Lightly dab and blend illuminating cream concealer on the inner eye corners and over dark circles. Set with translucent powder.
Step 3: Apply black waterproof liner around your eye, or a metallic colored liner for a slightly funkier vibe like Olivia Munn's. Line your inner rims and wing the liner ever so slightly on the outer corners. Using the smudger end of your liner, or a separate smudger brush, blend your liner outward all the way around your eye.
Step 4: Using another smudger brush, go over your liner with a metallic eyeshadow to bump up the intensity, if desired.
Step 5: Curl lashes and apply up to 10 coats of mascara for more va-va-voom. (Try COVERGIRL LashExact Waterproof Mascara, $6.99.)

• If you have small eyes, be careful when lining your lower lid with dark colors. "If you only line the lower inner rim, it makes the eye seem smaller," says Babaian. "So you must smudge [the line] out, which makes the eye look larger."

• If you have round eyes and you want to lengthen them, draw your shadow into a V shape slightly at the outer corners, toward your temples.
• If you have narrow eyes and you want to widen them, add a strip of false lashes like Nicole Scherzinger did here.
• To keep the attention on your eyes, don't do a bright, bold lip. Instead, keep your lips light and simple.
