Idk how to do American make up on Asian features

I want to fit in at an American high school but I don’t know how to do make up that suits my Asian features. I want to be like a basic girl to fit in and stuff but every time I try and attempt a make up tutorial it looks so horrible on my face. It especially sucks when I see an Asian person that looks great in that kind of make up but they have mostly western ish features like double eyelids, big eyes and a tall nose. I feel like I look better without make up but I don’t have the confidence to go outside without make up. Im so fucking chopped idk what to do

Any tips?

I feel like I don’t really fit in. I went to school in America for elementary and middle school but I decided to go to Japan after 8th grade. I was a 2nd year of junior high school and I was a bit hesitant at first but I ended up making a lot of friends and I had a great time although I didnt really do much of studying since I’m not super fluent but I know basic stuff and i can talk to my friends just fine. I was slightly different given the fact that I’ve never stayed in Japan this long. I only go during summer break. I honestly think I fit in a lot better since I like the beauty standards, fashion, make up, food and my interests were very similar with my friends. I recently came back from Japan and now I feel like I have to fit in especially since I’m going to an American high school. I wish I could’ve gone to a Japanese high school but since they have very difficult entrance exams and the tests you have to do in your 3rd year of junior high is very difficult, I was told that it would be very hard for me to get in to high school (Which is true). So I came back to the US and I’m going to high school but now if I dressed the same and did my make up the same, I def would not fit in since theres probs no one that dresses similar and stuff since most of the people are white. Now I don’t know what to wear how to act and how to do my make up like them to fit in. Even if I try to do my make up similarly I looks so fucking chopped and it genuinely does not suit my features at all. I don’t have any lulu shorts or like any T shirts that I can wear outside. Idk how to style my hair since I have bangs and a lot of layers and I’m really scared I won’t fit in. What clothes do they wear? How do they do their make up? I dont know what to do I feel so ugly whenever I do this “basic girl style” and I feel like the oddball since there’s int much Asians. Please help I’m so lost or if anyone could relate I’d feel more relieved

(sorry if there’s any grammar or spelling mistakes I felt too lazy to double check everything.)
