‘Fox eye’, ‘cat eye’ or ‘designer eye’ requires a cosmetic treatment that simultaneously lifts and elongates the upper eyelid, pulling the eye into a more almond shape, creating overall emphasis on the eyes. The trend continues to emerge in many forms, whether it be via YouTube tutorials for ‘fox eye tips’ or makeup artists using tape to manipulate eye shape, all trying to achieve ‘the look’ despite its negative connotations.
What is a fox eye?
The fox eye trend is described like this: “Shaving off the tail end of your eyebrows (eliminating everything from the arch to the tail) to draw on a straighter brow; using a brown or black eyeshadow to create a sharp, cat-eye flick up towards the temples; and then, adding a touch of the same eyeshadow to the inner corners of your eyes pointing towards the bridge of your nose.”
The result is a cat-eyed, slanted look most commonly seen in Asian features. But unlike the participants of the fox eye challenge, Asian folks aren’t applauded for their genetics. In fact, “slanted eyes” have historically been one of the most common insults used against Asian people.
Is this procedure eye lift or brow lift? Or Both?
One must understand that the aging process is multifactorial and hence the best anti-aging solution will involve a few treatments and may even take a few sessions to reach the desired look.
We must focus on the structures that are present around the eye area and the changes in those structures lead to droopy, heavy, saggy, and small looking eyes with time.
We must address the skin, fat loss, and bone loss changes in order to treat the aging disease rather than putting a “band-aid” on the problem that will become severe later and can only be addressed with surgical intervention. When we can elevate the brow, we achieve an eyelid skin elevation at the same time, just like magic!

Why the fox eye trend is problematic and racist
There’s a long history of racism against Asians and their eyes and just because it’s 2020, it doesn’t mean it still doesn’t happen, nor is it erased.
Throughout our lives, Asian’s eyes have been weaponized against them and now they are being told that they should be grateful that society is finally embracing them. Asians have been bullied, ridiculed, ostracized, mocked, and humiliated for their eyes [and now] our eyes have been appropriated to become a trend that many take part in for the aesthetic rather than to show appreciation.
In Ho’s many conversations with East and Southeast Asians, she says that some only take offense with the pose and for others, it’s both the makeup look and the pose, but “wherever they stand against the trend is completely valid”.
“The pose comes across as noticeably the more problematic part of the trend, but I think there’s so much more to it,” she explains. “It’s that they’re purposefully doing their makeup in a way that will elongate their eyes and help them to achieve that almond-shaped eye that Asians have.”
What should people consider before getting the fox eye lift?
If a client decides they want to get the fox eye lift, it’s a suggestion to go to a reputable, medically qualified aesthetic practitioner who will explain exactly what the treatment entails and the potential complications that can occur with this type of treatment. Someone who will have the right qualifications to correct any issues that might happen. It’s a trend, but it’s important to remember that it’s a medical procedure - not something to be taken lightly. Always ask your practitioner if you can see before and after photos before getting treatment.
What’s involved in a ‘fox eye’ treatment?
If you’re looking to change the shape of your eyes, there are two different approaches that can be used: a non-invasive option and an invasive (surgical) option.
Non-invasive involves the injection of fillers and fat at the outer edge to elevate the brow. He says the use of fillers has become a popular option, as it creates a temporary aesthetic change that can last up to two years.
On the other end of the spectrum lies the surgical options. Blepharoplasty is the official name for plastic surgery involving the eyes, and it involves removing excess skin or fat to rejuvenate or correct the shape of the eyes. For some patients, a brow lift is the best option.
In the 25 to 40 age group, some women want a temporal brow lift (for those that have a ‘heavy forehead’) – but this requires a surgical option. Therefore, you need to take great care as this is a permanent option.
What are the risks?
As with any medical procedure, specialized eye work (including both non-surgical and surgical approaches) comes with potential risks and complications. Big problems associated with filler in the orbital region are lumpiness, prolonged swelling, and delayed swelling. This can cause a stretching of the skin which can cause a condition called ‘festoons’ which are very difficult to treat. Sometimes complications can be even more severe.
Delayed filler complications (which can happen weeks after the initial filler treatment) include blanching (a bluish discoloration), nodules, and hypersensitivity common risks which doctors say are largely unrecognized. Although rare, the vascular complication is another risk, and it is one that can ultimately lead to blindness.
In terms of blepharoplasty surgery, it’s possible for patients to experience complications with their results, which may require surgical correction. More often it’s a problem because the doctor shouldn’t have worked on the case to start with. This is a case of doctors not knowing what the consequences will be. With surgery of the eyelid millimeters matter.”
Fox-Eyes vs. Cat-Eyes: the difference
The difference lies in the position of the eyeliner. The Fox Eye look is about placing the eyeliner in such a way that the eyes look more almond-shaped and mysterious, rather than large and wide open. That is why you do not orient yourself at the end of the eyebrow when applying makeup to the eyeliner wing, but rather pull it straight towards your temple. This creates a kind of lifting effect for the eyes. The most famous celebrity examples of this look are the models Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner.
Fox Eye VS Winged Eyeliner
• The biggest difference when creating this liner look, is the positioning of the outer corner line, which is a lot lower than a classic wing.
• Sharing a video how-to on her IGTV, makeup artist Erin Parson’s says, “It’s from the very outer corner of your eye, because you’re going to go from the bottom and then connect.”
• By the bottom, she actually means the lower lid. Another big difference.
• The result is that the angular triangle you create with your liner has its top edge connecting to your eyelid, but the bottom edge connected to the lower lid.
• Erin’s example is dramatic, but depending on how thin or thick you draw your line, it can have a different effect.
WAYS TO ENHANCE YOUR FOX EYE
If you’re not into eyeliner (fair), there are other ways to enhance a strong almond shape.
• Brows. Think of Audrey Hepburn and adjust the shape of your face framers slightly, so the tails continue subtly upwards and angled, rather than arched.
• Another trick is to contour your eye using eyeshadow instead.
• Simply choose a color a few shades darker than your skin tones, like terracotta or chocolate brown, and with a small eye brush, create the same low winged shape from the outer corner of the eye.
• Blend if you like it smokey, or keep it sharp, then take the same color to the inner corner to extend the eye shape.
• And lastly, lashes. Add some single falsies to the outer corner of the lash line only, to really emphasize the length of the eye.
5 Simple steps of fox eye makeup
Step 1: Transition shade
Start by applying a primer all over your eyelids and blend it in well. This helps create a smooth canvas for your eye look. Then take a color closest to your natural skin color and apply it all across your lids.
Use a dark brown shade to accentuate your crease and add definition and color to it. With the help of a fluffy blending brush, blend the color well into your crease. It is important while creating a foxy eyes makeup that there should be no visible harsh lines. Remember to elongate the eyeshadow slightly towards your temples and maintain the original shape of your eyes.
Step 2: Add some shimmer
Now that your eyeshadow base in place, take a fine shimmer shade of your choice and add it to the center of your eyes. You can place the shimmer with your fingers or a flat brush. Using a fluffy brush you can blend it into the crease shade, so it looks more seamless. If you don’t have a fine shimmer eyeshadow shade, you can use your highlighter instead.
Step 3: Eyeliner
This is the most crucial step in achieving fox eyes. Take your favorite eyeliner and line the inner corner of your eye. The line has to be extremely thin and define your eyes lightly.
Extend this thin line across your eyelid maintaining its thickness. Don’t make the line too thick. Similar to a cat eye, you need to extend the flick towards your temple as well. However, the flick has to be extremely thin, the thin flick is what sets the fox eye look apart from the rest. This helps in your eyes looking elongated and thin. You can smoke out the liner slightly to make it look more natural and also erase any harsh lines.
Step 4: Eyebrows, Mascara, and lashes
Shaping and filling in your eyebrows will give your face some framing and definition. Fill in your eyebrows using an eyebrow pencil and make small hair-like strokes. You can make your eyebrows natural or bold depending on the fox eyes look you are aiming for.
Coat your lashes with mascara to add volume and length to them. This helps you get fluttery and wispy lashes which adds dimension to your foxy eye look. You can add a pair of false eyelashes for added drama to your fox eyes makeup.
Step 5: Clean the edges
The last step is to use a concealer to sharpen your liner. Take some concealer on a fine brush and run it against your eyeliner flick. Using a sponge carefully blend the concealer. Applying a concealer in the upwards direction sharpens your foxy eyeliner and gives your face a more snatched look.
There you have it, the fox eye makeup looks in just five simple steps. Once you are satisfied with your eye makeup you can start working on finishing the remainder of your makeup look.
