HOW TO DO PUPPY DOG EYELINER

WITH MAKEUP ARTIST KAROL RODRIGUEZ


    We’ve got something new for you to try: puppy dog eyeliner! Whereas cat-eye liner swoops up and out at the eyes' edge, puppy liner goes down. It’s unusual, it’s sexy and once you get the steps, it’s easy to do! Here makeup artist Karol Rodriguez shows us how to perfectly follow the shape of the eye and create a beautiful rounded big-eyed “puppy” look.

    How to do puppy eyeliner

    1. HOW TO DO PUPPY EYELINER STEP 1: DEFINE THE EYELID CREASE

      Start by adding warmth and dimension to the eye with a neutral eyeshadow shade. Karol uses Creator, a peach-colored eyeshadow, from the Nudes of New York palette and applies it on the eyelid crease. This step is optional!
    2. HOW TO DO PUPPY EYELINER STEP 2: DEFINE THE LASH LINE

      Using a black pencil eyeliner, line the upper lash line from the center of the eye out to the corners of the eye bringing the line DOWN at the corners. Tip: Raise your eyebrows as you do this to keep the lid nice and taut for a smooth line.
    3. HOW TO DO PUPPY EYELINER STEP 3: EXTEND THE LINER DOWNWARDS

      Follow the line downwards and create a sharp-looking point. Thicken and exaggerate the line, filling in any gaps of color with the eyeliner pencil.
    4. HOW TO DO PUPPY EYELINER STEP 4: LINE INNER CORNERS OF EYES

      Now, define the inner corners of eyes by tracing a thin line of liquid eyeliner from the inner corners out, connecting it to the gel liner.
    5. HOW TO DO PUPPY EYELINER STEP 5: LINE LOWER LASH LINE

      Using your pencil eyeliner, line just the outer half of the lower lash line, drawing out to connect to the top liner. Keep the inner half of the lower lash line bare. Then, take an eyeshadow brush and smoke out the lower liner, softening the line. Add a bit of black liner to your waterline, too!
    6. HOW TO DO PUPPY EYELINER STEP 6: OPEN-UP EYES

      Add light and shimmer to the inner lower lash line for a really open look. Karol uses Color Strike Eyeshadow Pen in Spark.
    7. HOW TO DO PUPPY EYELINER STEP 7: ADD MASCARA

      Apply a lengthening mascara to the top lashes and on the outer half of the lower lashes.
    8. HOW TO DO PUPPY EYELINER STEP 8: ADD EXTRA BRIGHTNESS

      As a finishing touch, add a pop of shimmer into the inner corners of eye. Karol uses Originator from the Nudes of New York palette.
