This Is How to Do the Fox Eye Makeup Trend


Let me tell you about the time I accidentally nailed the fox eye look while rushing to get ready for a last-minute dinner date. I was running late (of course), swiped on some eyeliner with a little extra wing, and boom—I had that snatched, lifted eye look that everyone’s talking about.

Since then, I’ve mastered the fox eye makeup trend, and I’m here to share all the details with you! Whether you’re experimenting for the first time or just looking to perfect your technique, I’ve got you covered. Let’s dive in!

What’s the Fox Eye Makeup Trend?

So, what exactly is the fox eye makeup trend? Think sleek, lifted eyes inspired by a fox’s upturned gaze—kind of like the edgy cousin of the classic cat eye. This look is all about strategically placed eyeliner and luscious lashes to create an elongated, sultry vibe. Plus, it’s super versatile and works beautifully for all eye shapes and genders, whether you’re cis, trans, or non-binary. Makeup has no rules, so go ahead and make it yours!

How to Achieve the Fox Eye Look

Ready to slay this trend? Let me walk you through the steps. And don’t worry—I’ll mention my favorite products along the way so you can snag them for yourself (affiliate links) from Amazon.

1. Prime Your Eyes

First things first: always start with a good primer. It helps your makeup last longer and prevents any creasing. Smooth a bit of your favorite eye primer across your lids. If you need a recommendation, grab an eye primer that works well with your skin tone and type.

2. Color Your Lids

Now, for this look, we’re keeping eyeshadow super minimal—or skipping it entirely. I usually use a matte concealer to neutralize my lids for a clean canvas. If you prefer a little color, try a neutral matte shade like the L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Monos Eyeshadow in Mix and Matte (available on Amazon). It’s subtle and won’t overpower the rest of the look.

3. Line Your Eyes

Okay, eyeliner time! This is the star of the show. I use the L’Oréal Paris Matte Signature Liquid Dip Eyeliner, Waterproof (available on Amazon), and here’s how:

Start at the inner corner of your eye and draw a thin, clean line, creating a tiny “V” shape.

Continue lining your upper lash line, keeping it thin at first and gradually thickening as you go outward.

Now for the wing! Instead of your usual flick, draw your wing slightly lower than normal, connecting the top and bottom lash lines. This creates that lifted, foxy effect.

Pro tip: Take your time here—precision is key!

4. Line Some More

For that wide-eyed, fresh look, line your waterline with a nude pencil. My go-to is the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Last Waterproof, Up to 24HR Pencil Eyeliner in Nude (available on Amazon). This little step makes such a difference!

5. Coat Your Lashes

Finally, let’s talk lashes. A few coats of the L’Oréal Paris Bambi Eye Washable Mascara, Lasting Volume (available on Amazon) will give you that fluttery, elongated look. It lifts and volumizes like a dream—seriously, it’s one of my favorites.

And voila! Your fox eye look is complete.

The Fox Eye Challenge

Now, have you heard about the TikTok-famous fox eye challenge? It’s a bold trend that involves creating straighter, runway-ready brows to accentuate the lifted effect. While some people go as far as shaving off the outer half of their brows, I’m here to show you a commitment-free alternative.

1. Glue Down Your Brows

Instead of shaving your brows (yikes!), you can glue down the outer half using a washable glue stick. Once it’s set, conceal the glued area with a high-coverage concealer like the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Full Wear Concealer Waterproof, Full Coverage (available on Amazon).

2. Fill Them In

Next, draw in your brows with a straight shape using the L’Oréal Paris Brow Stylist Definer Waterproof Eyebrow Mechanical Pencil (available on Amazon). Use light strokes to mimic natural hair, and angle the tail of your brow toward your temples—no arches allowed!

3. Clean It Up

To perfect the look, clean up any edges with a concealer brush and blend everything seamlessly. This step gives your brows that ultra-sleek finish.

Ready to Rock the Fox Eye Look?

And there you have it! Whether you’re going for a full-on fox eye challenge or just testing out the makeup look, remember to have fun and make it your own. Personally, I love how this trend can make me feel instantly glamorous and a little mysterious—like a beauty secret that’s mine to share (or not!).

Let me know how it turns out, and if you need tips, I’m just a message away. Go rock it, babe!
