Although the ubiquitous cat eye liner has become a signature look for many makeup mavens, it looks like your next beauty statement may be inspired by another lovable family pet.

Known as puppy eyeliner, the latest Korean inspired makeup trend strives to create a doe-eyed effect and offer the illusion of a larger, rounder eye. On Instagram, puppy eyes have quickly been making waves with young beauty gurus, who are more than eager to embrace the technique.

Puppy eyes are crafting by using eyeliner to follow the slope of the eye, in order to offer a wide-eyed and youthful effect. While winged cat eyes can lend a seductive finish, the aesthetic behind puppy inspired liner stays true to a theme of innocence and simplicity.

Makeup lovers are pairing their puppy eyes with bold pouts, but are also showcasing their eyes with glowing skin and refreshing natural-toned lips. Whether you decide to wear puppy eyeliner for day or night, this look can easily be adapted to suit a variety of beauty moods.

Here’s a closer look at this Korean inspired makeup technique, which will surely leave tails wagging and just may offer an alternative to your trademark feline eyelids.
