How to do the Viral Siren Eyes Makeup Look

What Are Siren Eyes?

Siren eyes are one the hottest eye trends right now, and for a good reason. This elevated smoky eyeliner look elongates your eyes with an easy liner shape to create an allure that’s not only aesthetically captivating and mysterious, but also works perfectly for all eye shapes.

Siren Eyes vs. Doe Eyes

While siren eyes and doe eyes share some similarities, they are distinct eye makeup looks. Siren eyes focus on creating a lifted and elongated shape, while doe eyes aim for a wide-eyed, innocent look. Siren eyes are more dramatic and alluring, perfect for a night out or a special occasion, while doe eyes are more natural and youthful, suitable for everyday wear.

What Eyeliner Should You Use for Siren Eyes?

To achieve the perfect siren eyes, choosing the right eyeliner is crucial. Maybelline offers various eyeliners that are perfect for creating this look. For a classic and bold look, try the Tattoo Studio® Sharpenable Gel Pencil Eyeliner. Its long-lasting formula ensures that your siren eyes will stay in place all day long. If you prefer a liquid eyeliner for more precision, the Tattoo Liquid Ink Liner is an excellent choice. It delivers precise definition and lasts up to 36 hours, perfect for creating a sharp and defined wing.

How to Create Siren Eyes Makeup:

Follow these step-by-step instructions to create the siren eyes makeup look:

Step 1: Start with the Wing
Using an eyeliner pencil, draw a thin line from the outer corner of your eye and stop at just above the crease. We recommend using Maybelline’s Tattoo Studio® Gel Pencil Eyeliner in a dark shade of your choice.

Step 2: Connect the Wing
Connect the line back to your lashes to create an elongated wing shape. For an extra pop of drama, draw a line across the top of your eyelid and connect the crease to the wing.

Step 3: Line Your Inner Eye
Apply the eyeliner on the upper waterline of your inner eye corner. Then apply eyeliner on the bottom waterline of your outer eye corner and connect the outer line to your wing.

Step 4: Blend Out
Go over all lines with dark-coloured eyeshadow and blend.

Step 5: Clean Up the Edges
Clean up the edges of your wings with a touch of concealer like Fit Me® Concealer. This will help to create a precise and polished look.

Step 6: Add Some Shimmer
Add a bit of shimmer or highlighter in the front corner of your eye to increase contrast.

Step 7: Finish Your Look
Complete your siren eyes makeup look with a few coats of volumizing mascara, which will thicken and lengthen your lashes and ultimately, further enhancing your siren eye look. Finish with a dab of cheek tint like Cheek Heat® Gel-Cream Blush and a swipe of Lifter Gloss® Lip Gloss.

Siren Eyes Makeup Tips

Here are some additional tips to help you master the siren eyes makeup look:

Tip #1: Avoid Eyeliner
Above the Pupil
Keep the area above your pupil free from any eyeliner so as not to make your eyes look small. The key to siren eyes is to elongate the look of eyes.

Tip #2: Blend Outward, not Upward
When blending the eyeliner, make sure to blend outward, not upward. This will help to create a sultry look.

Tip #3: Use Half Lashes
for More Drama
For an extra touch of drama, consider using half lashes on the outer corner of your eyes. This will help to further elongate and enhance the siren eyes look.

Tip #4: Tightline
the Upper Waterline Only
To avoid making your eyes look smaller, only tightline the upper waterline. Avoid lining the lower waterline, as this can make your eyes appear smaller and less lifted.
