You need to kind of overdraw your crease a bit. Bring the color from the crease slightly more upward, that way when your eyes are open you can see the color. It is a bit hard to explain on here, but basically you want to give the illusion of a deeper crease and a larger lid space for your base color. I'm looking at your eyes in the picture and I think this would help you tremendously. There are a bunch of videos on youtube geared towards eye makeup for asian eyes, too. A visual would probably help more!

Tilt your head back in the mirror when looking at yourself while blending crease work, it'll help you gauge how far up you should go... And turn your head to the side while maintaining eye contact in the mirror while blending your outer "V" area to see how far up you should blend again. Hope that made sense.

Make sure you have a smaller crease brush like the MAC 222 or 226. I found they've made a world of difference for crease work as a 217 might be a bit harder to navigate in the crease area, but usable. Good luck!

Ps: invest in a nice warm neutral color that is a few shades darker than your own skin tone to use as a transition blending color if you have a lot of lid space between your crease and browbone. Used to blend your crease color into your highlight, it'll give you a more polishes look.
