The term “siren eyes” involves a technique where you create a smudgy cat eye using liner and/or eyeshadow. The liner is more dramatic than that of a smoky eye, elongating the overall look of the eyes. It evokes both drama and seduction, and has a bit of shimmery accents too. It can be a bold way to spice up those peepers this fall. If you love this trend and want to try it yourself, consider these great siren eye products. —Jennifer Cox
A great liner: Try Sephora Collection’s Waterproof 12HR Retractable Eyeliner Pencil ($9). This three-in-one eyeliner has a super-creamy, waterproof formula that delivers intensity and convenience. Its long-wear and rich texture blends perfectly to intensify your eyes in a flash.
Full, thick faux lashes: A big part of the siren eye trend is the lashes, and if you need a boost, use the MAC Lash/83 Siren Lash from MAC Cosmetics ($20). This pair of lashes will dial up the volume with a loud full and feathered style. They can also be reshaped or adorned as desired.
A beautiful palette: The Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette from Makeup By Mario ($70) has a featherlight creamy feel and is formulated to be easily buildable and blendable. It contains carbon black pigment, which is five times more intense than a traditional black shadow, making it perfect for those seductive siren eyes.
A good-quality mascara: We love the Lash Paradise Waterproof Mascara from L’Oreal ($12). It adds super volume and length to lashes for up to 36 hours without smudging. The waterproof formula is also infused with floral oil for ultra-soft application and dense, fuller-looking lashes. Plus, the price is right!
A touch of shimmer: Stila’s Glisten & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow ($31) is a light-catching liquid eye shadow with the perfect mixture of high pigment and micro-fine glitter particles. Its lightweight, water-infused texture provides a barely-there, refreshing feel and glides on effortlessly, dries down weightlessly, and locks in maximum glow with minimal fallout.
