Foxy Eyes

Foxy eyes are known for their elegance: with high-contrast colours and their steep, upswept shape they make the wearer's eyes look visibly lifted, which makes them the ultimate trend on Instagram and the like. The term foxy eyes comes from real foxes, because this look is meant to recreate their elegant eye shape.

For the fox-like styling, eyeshadow in different shades of brown is applied first. The outer part of the eye in particular is emphasised by brushing the eyeshadow steeply upwards. In addition, highlights are placed on the mobile lid and shading on the inner part and around the lashes, which are then blended neatly. The eyeliner is kept short and elegant, because although it should contribute to the shape of the eye, it should not cover the striking eyeshadow. The eyeshadow typically has a sharp lower edge; if this cannot be achieved with shading alone, concealer can help.

Eyebrows are also a decisive feature of the foxy eyes look, because when they are brought into the right shape, they further enhance the lifting effect. They should therefore be neatly plucked and well shaped. If you do not want to pluck your eyebrows especially for the look, concealer can help here too.

Depending on how it is done, the look works both as an evening and as a day make-up.

Foxy eyes therefore impress with the following features:

• Visual lifting effect
• Elegant shape
• High-contrast eyeshadow
• Striking shapes
