If you’re in tune with the beauty community, then you’ve probably been bombarded with the fox eye makeup trend online.

Overall, you almost get an end result similar to that of a subtle face lift, but all with makeup!

Step 1

Starting with a brown eyeshadow shade on an angled liner brush, create a line starting at the lash line, slightly inward from your outer corner. Move upward at a 45 degree angle toward the tail of your eyebrow. You want the line to taper at the end.

Step 2

Slightly blend the edges of the line while still maintaining the overall shape.

Step 3

Using a black eyeshadow shade, apply a smaller and thinner line right on top of the brown.

Step 4

Blend at the edges of the black line for a smooth transition from the black shade to the brown shade.

Step 5

Either use a mascara that will flare your outer lashes, like the Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara, or use false lashes only on the outer portion of your eyes.

Optional Steps

To really boost the upturned shape this technique will give your eyes, you can also add a slight point to your inner corner, and sharpen the edge of your liner by cleaning up with concealer along the bottom.

Products I Used:

Shadow: Karity 21 Shadow in Matte Palette
Lashes: Icona Lashes in “Queen of Hearts” (trimmed to outer portion only)
Angled Brush: Practk Liner Brush
Blending Brush: Morphe M506 Mini Blender Brush

Extra Tips

When it comes to the fox eye makeup trend, you want to keep the inner portion of your eye as minimal as possible. If you’re wearing an eyeshadow look with your fox eye, be sure to use lighter shades toward the inner corner.

Your brow shape can also help emphasize the fox eye shape. Higher arches will contribute to the lifted effect, but don’t feel too much pressure to change up your brows just for this trend.
