Hi! I'm an East Asian woman (Korean + Japanese mix). I really want to look more Scandinavian, but I'm afraid I'll look stupid dying my hair blonde and wearing blue eye contacts. I don't want white people to know I'm Asian. Is there a way I can make my eyes more round, nose less wide, and skin complexion more pale? Thanks!
Without some really extreme surgeries, you aren't ever going to fool someone who cares about what race you look like, because they'll be looking for the details. That, and colored contacts never quite mimic the real thing without looking "off" up close. The closest you may be able to pull off without taking extreme measures is passing for a Siberian or a Kazakh. You would also have to keep in mind that nothing you can do would change the genes you carry, so even if you somehow managed to convincingly alter yourself to look Nordic or Germanic, the cat would be out of the bag when/if you ever had kids.
In my personal opinion, this is collectively a very unattractive and unhealthy level of insecurity. The two best traits you can have to win over the good western men are confidence and femininity, and that alone with no other qualities considered will put you ahead of at least half of your white peers. In fact, almost all of my married (and not divorced) friends have gone for foreign-born or second-generation immigrants from mostly Asia or south of the border (Mexico and Columbia specifically) for exactly those two reasons.

Most things you could do to look more like the locals physically are quite likely to make you stand out more. But attention is a funny thing: there's being sensed (seen, in this case) and then there's being noticed. I'm sure you've seen (or at least heard of) the experiment where people were asked to watch others playing basketball and count the number of shots, and none of them noticed the guy in the gorilla suit walking trough the area? Same idea- redirect enough attention to some other aspect of yourself, and most people won't even notice your ethnicity.
This is truly saddening, both your eagerness and dedication to disassociate from an Asian appearance. Love yourself as you are, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with how you look now.

I'm sorry that you feel this way- I believe East-Asian women are very beautiful, but to be honest there is nothing you can do to look more WHITE.
Your skin is probably of similar complexion to white people, so you don't need to change your skin. However, your eyes, nose, and hair will be different. Even if you dye your hair blond and wear blond contacts you're never going to look like a scandanavian person unless you have the nose and eye lid surgery, in addition to getting your hair dyed and wearing contacts.
Mukokuseki Trope, make an Anime Avatar of yourself, no one would notice I am sure. :)
Why on earth do you want to conceal your race?
Blonde can look great on Asian girls, but you need to have it done properly.
So in other words you want to be someone else? Not who you were born to be?
