Get over the cat-eye cause there’s a new player in town. Puppy eyeliner is the Korean beauty trend that has amassed a whole lotta love on the internet because of its amazing results. We’ve all used puppy filters on our social media quite excessively at some point because of its cute aesthetic and now that it’s inspired an actual makeup trend is super intriguing. Okay, don’t rush to judge, the trend doesn’t require you to get dog ears or a button nose. All it does is make you look more youthful and adorable, kind of like a puppy. Want to know more? Here are all the deets on this viral makeup look and how you can recreate it yourself.
What Is Puppy Eyeliner?
While the classic cat-eye winged liner flicks upwards, the puppy eyeliner too has a wing but it goes in a downward direction. Also known as downturned eyeliner, this trend will make your eyes look more rounded and in turn gives off a more youthful, doe-eyed effect. The wing, for this trend, is connected to the lower lash line rather than the upper lash line; it only uses the upper lash line as a guide for a flowing wing application. There is a subtle version of it that has a baby wing and a more dramatic option that is paired with a faux lower lash effect.
The Eye Shapes It Is Best Suited For
If you are wondering about whether or not this trend will suit you, here’s the deal. Puppy eyeliner can be tried on all eye shapes but it specifically complements those with hooded, deep-set, or small almond eyes. Why? Well, people who have these eye shapes struggle with getting the classic winged liner to show because their upper lid space is lesser as it gets lost in the folds of the skin. Puppy eyeliner is a good option as it flows from the upper lash line to create a downward winged effect. This way the wings don’t get lost in the folds of your eyes.
How To Apply Puppy Eyeliner
The Subtle Choice
Use your upper lash line as a guide to draw your downturned wing. Draw a straight line descending from the outer corners and then proceed to define your upper lash line as you usually would. As you can see, the end results are totally fab.
The Graphic Number
For a bolder look, create a triangular shape starting from your lower lash line and then connecting to your upper lash line. Then fill it in with liner. Next, draw two downward strokes on both your lower lash lines to mimic lashes. Detail your inner corners with eyeliner as well and you will have a gorgeous graphic puppy eye look.
