does anyone know of any way to flatter these eyes? People like me only have single eyelids, and I have no idea how to apply eyeshadow on eyes like mine, coz all "how to" articles focus on double eyelids.

I have semi-Japanese eyes. Hehe I say Semi cuz I'm a little mixed so I
have a bit of a crease, but it's small enough that my eyes are still
classified as Japanese.
Anyway, my favorite thing to wear right now is a smokey eye with liquid
liner. The smokey eye is my favorite cuz it makes me look really exotic
and the liquid eye liner gives my eyes that 'wide eyed' look. Just use
a darker, smokey shade (a dark purple, blue, green or gray or even a
shimmery black) up to your eye crease and just a little above it.
Depending on how big your eyes are, you can also apply it almost up to
the browbone. Then take a small eye shadow or liner brush and use a
little of the same shade and line your lower lid, really close to the
lash line. Add a shimmery, light shade to your brow bone and inner eye
corners. Then line your top lid with some liquid liner (I always use
black) and extend the line a little past your eye and wing it out a
little. I learned a trick with liquid eye liner, just draw a thin line
on your eyelid with eyeliner and go over that with the liquid liner.
That helps me atleast:)
Also, what I do is use a nude shade all over my eye lid, then use a
lighter one to highlight. And then i use a black eye liner pencil on my
upper lid and smudge it with my finger so that it looks really subtle
and smudgy. I also use a little black in the corners in a subtle V
shape.
I always have to curl my eyelashes cuz I've got straight lashes ehhehe and then just us a volumising mascara.
I hope that helped!
