The 4 Korean Eye Makeup Styles That Enhance Asian Features Beautifully

Fox, Dog, Rabbit & Deer Eyes — Discover Your Perfect Match

Korean beauty has gained worldwide popularity because it celebrates Asian features rather than trying to alter them.

Among the most trending techniques in K-beauty are the animal-inspired eye makeup styles — Fox, Dog, Rabbit, and Deer eyes. Each creates a distinctive look that complements monolids, almond eyes, and epicanthic folds perfectly.

Let’s explore what makes each style unique, how to achieve them, and why they work so well.

1. Fox Eyes (여우눈 메이크업)

Bold. Sophisticated. Captivating.

Fox eyes create an uplifted, elongated shape that exudes confidence and mystery. Popularized by celebrities like BLACKPINK’s Jennie, this style is ideal for making a statement, taking striking photos, or commanding attention on camera.

Makeup Technique:

  • Upward-angled eyeliner wing
  • Neutral matte shadow to enhance outer corners
  • Minimal makeup on lower lashline for clean definition

Why it works:
This style naturally complements almond-shaped eyes and creates an elegant lift without requiring heavy makeup or falsies.

2. Dog / Puppy Eyes (강아지 눈 메이크업)

Gentle. Inviting. Friendly.

Puppy eyes feature a slight downward slope at the outer corners, creating a sweet, endearing expression. This look is frequently seen in romantic K-dramas and on approachable idol personas.

Makeup Technique:

  • Downward-angled eyeliner at outer edges
  • Shimmer or highlighting on the aegyo-sal (under-eye cushion)
  • Soft, rounded lashes or brown-toned makeup

Why it works:
This technique softens your gaze and enhances rounder eyes or natural aegyo-sal, making your expressions more emotionally engaging.

3. Rabbit Eyes (토끼 눈 메이크업)

Fresh. Youthful. Radiant.

Rabbit eyes emphasize brightness and openness. Popular among groups like NewJeans, this style typically accompanies dewy skin and glossy lip finishes.

Makeup Technique:

  • Light shimmer or glitter across the lid
  • White or nude liner along the waterline
  • Highlighted under-eye area with soft pink tones

Why it works:
This technique opens up the eyes beautifully without requiring a defined crease, making it perfect for monolids or smaller eyes.

4. Deer Eyes (사슴 눈 메이크업)

Ethereal. Delicate. Romantic.

Deer eyes are characterized by their rounded, soft appearance with a slight dewiness—reminiscent of K-drama leading ladies with their gentle, mesmerizing gazes.

Makeup Technique:

  • Rounded eyeliner application with softly blended upper lid
  • Subtle gloss or shimmer at lid center
  • Enhanced lower lashes or gentle aegyo-sal definition

Why it works:
This style beautifully enhances both monolids and double eyelids, creating a rounder, more tender appearance.
