I disagree on the race part. The VK style makeup was fitted to suit Asian eyelids - as the style was founded in Asia. That's why they use the eyeliner half-way around the eye and make them look rather round in the outer V - to make the eye itself look rounded and, actually, more caucasian. Also eyeliner-dominated looks like these...
... are to keep focus on the crease and the round-ness of the eyes. As you can obviously tell the dark colors are focused in the outer V and even crosses the line-angle that is used for measuring eyebrow-plucking. The whole point is to make the eye look caucasian.
Most white people don't have the weak crease and the delicate lids that this makeup style is designed for. That's why it looks like crap on pretty much any other nationality than slanted eyed ones - because their eyes are already ROUND. It's all about the makeup technique that's been adapted to fit the slanted eye's proportions.
I have only seen ONE white person pull off this kind of makeup. ONE person - out of the many n00bs trying to work this look. I'd say.. unless you REALLY know what makeup does to your face in shape, proportions etc. STAY AWAY from these kinds of looks. That's just my opinion.
