The ‘Puppy Eyeliner’ makeup is a Korean trend that is all the rage these days. This puppy eyeliner makeup trick is supposed to make small eyes or hooded eyes appear larger and keep your eye makeup look natural, minimal, and suitable for everyday looks. If you too are willing to try your hands on puppy eyeliner makeup, this tutorial is for you. So, buckle up ladies, and join us on the stellar ride of learning simple and easy puppy liner trend. 

Step-by-step guide on creating puppy liner trend

The classic eyeliner that we are all used to is most commonly created with an upward flick. While recreating a puppy eyeliner makeup, instead of flicking your wing upwards, you drag it downwards. You have to draw your liner down in the direction of your lower lash line, to achieve the perfect puppy eyeliner. 

Here is a step-by-step breakdown of how you can recreate this viral puppy eyeliner makeup. 

Step 1: Prime your lids

This is an essential step you shouldn’t skip, especially if you have oily lids. You don’t need to purchase a specific eye primer for this step as you can simply use your face primer. This will help your eye makeup stay for longer without creasing or moving. 

Step 2: Line your eyelids

After priming your lids, take your eyeliner and start drawing a line across your lid. You must start from the inside of your lid and extend it toward the outer corner of your eye. Once your eyelids have been lined, extend your liner and make the flick face downwards. Extend the curve depending on your liking and choice. The flick has to be naturally facing downwards and also close to your lower lash line. If you’re not confident with using liquid eyeliner yet, you can practice with a kajal until you get the hang of it. 

Step 3: Connect the flick to your lower lash line

To complete the puppy eyeliner makeup, take your kajal and connect the flick to your lower lash line. Start by lining your outer lash line to the centre of your eyes. This will give your eye a rounded look and make them look more open and fuller. 

Step 4: Complete your eye look

Once you’re happy with the way your puppy eyeliner makeup is looking you can move on to complete your eye look. Since this is a Korean trend, it is best to keep your makeup muted and natural looking. This will help your facial features shine. Apply a few coats of mascara to your eyelashes and fill in your eyebrows. This will complete your eye makeup look and accentuate them. If you want your eyes to pop more, take an eyeshadow colour that is closest to your skin colour and sweep it across your lids lightly. This will help your eyes to appear more open. 

Now that your eye makeup is done, move towards starting your face makeup and lip makeup. So, kickstart your face makeup by applying a very thin layer of foundation (or concealer). If you want your makeup to look natural, it is best to use only one base product and choose a foundation shade that matches your skin tone perfectly. You can use the Maybelline Foundation Finder tool to choose the shade that fits you perfectly. Using your perfect shade match will help your base makeup look natural and give you an even skin look. Next, add blush to your cheeks to make them pop. Lastly, add a nude lipstick that looks natural and is your perfect ‘my lips but better’ lip colour. If you are struggling to find your perfect ‘my lips, but better lip colour?, use the Maybelline Virtual Try On tool to virtually try a wide range of lip makeup, eye makeup, and face makeup products and different makeup looks from the comfort of your home. So, what are you waiting for? Master the puppy eyeliner makeup and let your eyes subtly but surely do the talking.
