If you’ve seen the popular “siren eye” makeup trend on TikTok, you’ve probably also come across its “dow eye” counterpart. Siren eyes are commonly thought to be sexier than sweet and innocent doe eyes. The eyes of a doe are defined as wide-open eyes (as seen in female deer). Think Ariana Grande, Lana Del Rey, Zooey Deschanel.
The do-eye makeup look is just as attractive as the siren eye, but in a different way. Plus, if you’ve seen a TikTok video, it’s easy to pull off. If you’re interested in trying this trend for yourself, Makeup spoke with her artist and beauty influencer Dani G to find out exactly how to achieve the look. Keep reading for a step-by-step guide with product recommendations.
How to do eye makeup
When creating a do-eye look, you should first put a little bit of foundation around your eyes. Dani recommends starting at the brows and working your way down the face. To do this, I used Ere Perez’s Natural Cosmetics Argan Brow Hero ($29).
Then apply concealer under your eyes. “You can achieve this look with her liquid concealer, which is two shades lighter than your skin tone,” she says. “Apply concealer with a damp beauty blender for an airbrushed look.” For this part, she used RMS Beauty’s “Un” Cover-Up Her Concealer ($36). When it comes to eyeshadow, mites prefer “light” colors with “slight shimmer” because they “make the space between the nose and eyes look wider.”

You don’t want to add dramatic winged eyeliner to this look. “You’ll want to draw a short, straight, angled line from the outer eye to create a little wing. Then you’ll want to draw a line across the rest of the eyelid, along the edge of the pupil,” she says. I make it a little thicker on top, which gives the illusion of a more rounded eye.” To achieve this, I used Lottie London’s Wing Woman in Brown ($7).
Then apply white eyeliner all over your lower eyelid. “This really brightens my face and makes my eyes look bigger,” says Dani. In our opinion, two of the best white eyeliners are Charlotte Tilbury’s Rock ‘N’ Kohl in Eye Cheat ($29) and Mario’s Master Mattes Brightening Pencil ($20) makeup. and apply mascara to the lower lashes. I found that a combination of Ere Perez’s Avocado Waterproof Her Mascara ($28) and Charlotte Tilbury Legendary Lashes Volume 2 Mascara ($32) gave the best results. Dani also recommends adding lashes like the Doll Beauty Dolly Wispies ($18) and Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina False Eyelashes ($12) to the top and bottom lids for a whimsical finish.
Doe-Eyes Verdict

Doe’s eyes are so achievable that they are easy to wear on a daily basis. I added a flash of blush to the apples of her cheeks and some highlighter to the tip of her nose and Cupid’s bow.This look should be soft and rounded throughout, so add your favorite pink lip to her Add liner and discreet lipstick.
I’ve tried both trends and personally preferred the doe eye over the siren eye because it appealed to my natural eye shape without overpowering it. I used a liner from to keep it subtle and make the blue in my eyes stand out.
