Yikes, ..im asian and my eyes are monolid, guess everything goes downhill when you get old :\ Since asian lids have a lot of excess skin (reason behind our monolids).. as you age.. asian lids tend to look more droopy than other ethnicities because all of the extra skin.

i'm chinese and filipino and most of my family members have double eyelids including myself. my best friend is japanese and filipino but her eyelids are hooded (i think) and the eyeliner disappears on her. i have to put the eyeshadow really high on her in order to even see anything.

OOPS!! I completely forgot about your question xD your thread got side tracked lol
I think people already suggested this, but you need to line your eyes a little thicker than normal so it shows up when your eyes are open. My favorite eyeliner is mac's fluidline.. or the urban decay 24/7 liners
Also lining the water line will give more of a dramatic look, but if you have small eyes you might want to be careful, cuz this can make eyes appear smaller.
Also i think theres what you call "cutting the crease?" like this girl http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YfC3F5IT-S...x5I/s400/4.jpg so it appears you have a double lid but you really dont?

Sortof resurrecting this because I think I have monolids!
I do sort of have a crease, but it's one a teeny tiny bit higher than my upper lash line, so if I apply my eyeliner on too heavily, you can't see the eyeshadow at all. I have a teeny tiny little bit of lid space before you can see the eyeshadow above the "crease." Above that, my eyelid is totally smooth and I kind of have to feel around to find where my eyesocket ends and my eyeball begins, since it's not visible at all.
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...7012009_02.jpg See how low the "crease" is?
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...7012009_03.jpg And here, how smooth and flat the rest of the lid is?
I've been wondering why it's been pretty hard for me to apply eyeshadow and I guess it's because I've been doing it as though I don't have a monolid. Now I have to relearn how to apply eyeshadow--off to Youtube with me!
( Today, some guy at the post office asked me if either of my parents are Asian. I get that a LOT, and at least now I know why.
