It's a trend that has emerged among stars like Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid. "Foxy Eyes" has the gift of widening the eyes and opening the face. How to do it at home without surgery? We tell you everything.

The "foxy eyes" trend is a makeup style that aims to create an almond-shaped eye effect by stretching the gaze, a bit like that of a fox... Hence its name. This trend has been widely adopted by celebrities like Emily Ratajkowski and influencers like Hailey Bieber, who do not hesitate to display it at every social outing or not. As you can see, this makeup trend has quickly gone viral and it proves that it is possible to lift drooping eyelids effectively thanks to this beauty tip.

Can everyone get on board with this trend?

The foxy eye trend can be worn by most people, but it's important to consider your natural eye shape and always respect your individual makeup preferences... Here are a few things to consider to make sure you're pulling off the trend properly:

1. Eye Shape: The foxy eye trend is particularly suited to almond-shaped eyes or slightly droopy eyes. If you naturally have round eyes or other eye shapes, you can adjust the technique to achieve a similar effect by adapting the eyeshadow and eyeliner application.

2. Personal Preferences: Makeup is a form of self-expression, and it’s important to feel comfortable and confident with the result. You can adjust the intensity and extent of the foxy eyes effect according to your preferences, ranging from subtle to dramatic.

3. Alternative techniques: If you don't want to adopt the foxy makeup trend as it is generally presented, you can take inspiration from its principles to create a similar look that suits your style. For example, you can experiment with slightly stretched eyeshadow towards the temples without necessarily creating a very pronounced eyeliner line, like Hailey Bieber in the photo below.

4. Consult a professional: If you want to achieve a precise result that is tailored to your body type, you may want to consider consulting a professional makeup artist who can help you understand how to adapt the foxy eye trend to your specific features.

How to apply makeup for a foxy eyes effect?

To adopt this new trend with makeup, just follow these different steps:

Prepare the eyelids

Apply an eyeshadow primer or a thin layer of foundation to your eyelids to even out skin tone and help makeup last longer.

Choosing the eye shadow

Choose eyeshadows in neutral or brown tones. Apply a lighter shade all over your upper lid up to your brow bone to create a luminous base. Then, use a darker shade in the crease using an angled brush, slightly extending it toward the outer corners to create the illusion of a more elongated almond shape. Blend the shadows well to avoid harsh lines.

Choosing the eyeliner

Use a liquid or gel eyeliner to create a thick, elongated line along your upper lash line. Start at the inner corner of your eye and draw a line that gradually thickens as you move toward the outer corner. Extend the eyeliner slightly beyond the outer corner of your eye to accentuate the stretched doe-eye effect.

Focus on the outer corner and lower eye line

To enhance the foxy eye effect, use a thin brush and apply a small amount of dark eyeshadow or eyeliner along the lower lash line, focusing on the outer corner. You can also slightly blend this line to create a smoky effect.

Mascara and false eyelashes

Apply mascara* generously to the upper and lower lashes to open up the eyes. If you wish, you can also apply an eyelash serum to boost their growth or add false eyelashes for a more dramatic effect. Opt for longer and fuller false eyelashes towards the outer corners to reinforce the almond effect.

Beautify lips and complexion

Complete your makeup look by choosing natural or personal style lip shades and applying your usual foundation and complexion products.

Remember to adapt to your eye shape as well as your personal preferences by adjusting the intensity and shades of the colors used. Experiment and have fun with makeup to get the foxy eyes effect that suits you best!

Surgery as a radical alternative

Cosmetic surgery can be used to achieve a more pronounced foxy eye effect. Eyelid surgery, known as blepharoplasty, can be performed to change the shape and appearance of the eyes. In the context of foxy eyes, surgery may involve altering the eyelid crease to create a more stretched and higher crease, similar to the desired almond effect. This procedure can be performed using a variety of surgical techniques, such as tissue repositioning or tissue fixation to achieve the desired effect. It is also possible to have threads placed at the outer corner of the eye to stretch the skin and give a very slight almond eye effect.

It is important to understand that surgery is a serious decision that involves important risks and considerations. Before undergoing cosmetic surgery, it is essential to consult a qualified and experienced surgeon in this field. The professional will be able to assess your expectations, discuss the available options, explain the benefits and risks, and give you accurate information about the results you can expect... It is essential to have a realistic idea of ​​the results and to take into account the psychological, financial and recovery aspects associated with cosmetic surgery.
