HOW TO GET SIREN EYES, TIKTOK’S LATEST MAKEUP TREND

A twist on the iconic cat-eye, this new technique promises a lifted, sultry and
seductive gaze.
By 
Tessa Flores

Sephora, Amazon
To get this sexy stare you'll need a roll of makeup tape, a set of eyeshadow
brushes and a waterproof liquid eyeliner with an ultra-fine tip.

If you’ve ever looked upon the likes of Bella Hadid or Marilyn Monroe and wished
that you, too, could have that iconic and seductive squint, it turns out you can
― even if you don’t have that eye shape naturally. All the makings of the
perfect smoldering bedroom eye can be found in one beauty trend that’s currently
proliferating on TikTok: Siren eyes.

After furiously scrolling through some tutorials and experimenting in front of
my own makeup mirror, I discovered that the technique boils down to elongating
your existing eye shape by strategically applying drawn-out liner and
brown-toned eyeshadow on both the outer and inner corners of the eye, coupled
with a few key points of highlight.

When scrolling through the #sireneye page of TikTok ― a hashtag that has already
amassed 12.5 million views ― you’ll find that even though everyone has their own
unique methods of madness for getting this sultry stare, it will usually involve
a couple of brown eyeshadows or contour products, with one shade being darker
than the other.

Choosing to use an eyeshadow palette like the Anastasia Beverly Hills’ “Soft
Glam” or the “Naked2 Basics” palette by Urban Decay is a great way to have all
your shadows in front of you, rather than trying hunting for separate colors.

One of the most distinct hallmarks of this look (and possibly the most
intimidating to pull off) is the tiny triangle-shaped wing placed at the inner
corner of the eye that should be drawn in a somewhat downward-facing angle using
a fine-tipped liner, like Lancôme’s precision liquid pen, or an easy-glide
pencil like a gel liner from Urban Decay. This part is key for creating the
illusion that your eyes appear more cat-like, elongated and lifted at the outer
corners.

> 

After testing this out for myself multiple times, one of my favorite things
about this look is how customizable it is. Depending on which products you use
and the way you apply them, you can achieve a mood that’s more natural-looking
or something entirely dramatic. For instance, using a brown-toned eyeshadow or
an eyeliner pencil is going to look a bit more subdued than a harsher black line
done with a liquid liner.

To hop on the trend, keep scrolling to see some popular products and tools that
TikTokers have been using to achieve this look out for themselves.

1
Sephora
A versatile and well-loved neutral eyeshadow palette
Anastasia Beverly Hills’ “Soft Glam” palette is frequently invoked by fans of
the #sireneye. It offers ample neutral brown shadows to work with when creating
your look, including some shimmering lighter shades for highlighting the lid.
Like all of Anastasia's palettes, each of these shadows are ultra-pigmented and
easy to blend.
$45 Sephora$45 at Ulta$49 at Nordstrom

Amazon
An eight-piece set of eyeshadow brushes
This eight-piece set of makeup brushes from Real Techniques includes multiple
fluffy brushes for blending eyeshadow and three smaller detailing brushes for
applying eyeliner. The set received over 2,680 five-star ratings on Amazon.
$12.65 at Amazon$16.39 at Target

Ulta
An easy-glide waterproof eye pencil
For an eyeliner pencil that is waterproof, smudge-proof, skip-proof and won't
tug on your skin when applying, this highly pigmented gel pencil from Urban
Decay has been the time-honored choice of many a makeup user, myself included.
The creamy texture is really great for smudging or creating a winged look with a
liner brush, but then quickly dries to be near immovable afterwards. It's
available in 37 shades and finishes and is also formulated with some pretty
nourishing ingredients like vitamin E and jojoba oil.
$23 at Ulta$23 at Amazon

Sephora
A waterproof precision liquid eyeliner
Lancôme's ultra-precision felt-tipped liquid liner, which has caught the
attention of a few TikTokers, promises a waterproof, smudge-proof and
flexible-wearing pigment that easily glides on in just one stroke. The fine tip
is perfect for getting those tight corners of the eye and it has a nice
satin-finish.
$22 at Sephora$22 at Ulta$22 at Macy's

Sephora
A popular lengthening mascara
When it comes to the lashes, really any lengthening mascara will do, however,
this one by Benefit Cosmetics has a reputation for boosting lash length,
creating lift and volume all while leaving behind glossy-looking lashes. This is
most likely thanks to the staggered bristles on the brush and the custom-domed
tip which can be great for coating smaller lashes.
$27 at Sephora$27 at Ulta
6
Amazon
A set of false lashes that accentuate the outer corner
If you want to amp up your lashes beyond a coat of mascara, these 3/4-length
lashes are pre-cut and designed to place greater lash volume on the outer
corners of your eyes, true to siren eye fashion. These wispy lashes also come
with a tube of long-wearing eyelash glue.
$5.99 at Amazon$5.99 at Ulta

Ulta
A highly rated full coverage concealer
Many TikTokers will use a lighter-toned concealer to clean up mistakes,
accentuate the sides of the eye or make the eyeliner more defined. You can do
this by applying a touch of concealer to a small flat brush, like the one
included in the eyeshadow brush set above, before running the product along an
existing line. This affordable and long-wearing option by e.l.f. cosmetics is
crease-proof, full coverage and has a matte finish.
$7 at Ulta$6.98 at Amazon

Sephora
A roll of hypoallergenic makeup tape
If you're feeling a bit nervous about creating your wing on the outer corner of
your eye, many people on TikTok recommend using tape as a kind of template for
creating your desired shape. This roll of makeup tape from Sephora is
specifically designed for such a task thanks to its skin-friendly and
hypoallergenic adhesive that's easy to remove.
$8 at Sephora
