How to do siren eyes
Siren eye makeup will give your eyes a more elongated shape.
1. Apply a light brown base
Use a large blending brush to shade your eyelid crease and the outer corner of your eyelid with a light brown eyeshadow. For the outer corner, shade in an extension of your lower lash line.
Push the eyeshadow outward and upward to achieve the elongated shape you are looking for.
With a smaller blending brush, shade in your lower lash line, joining it up with the upper eyelid shading at the outer corner.
2. Deepen the eyeshadow
Use a darker shade of brown to deepen your eyeshadow. Use your smaller blending brush to apply the darker eyeshadow over your eyelid crease and outer corner.
Then blend it out with the larger blending brush.
Also fill in the outer corner of your eye with the darker shadow.
3. Apply eyeliner
Apply black eyeliner at the outer and inner corners of your top and bottom water lines.
Then pull out a small wing from the outer corner of your upper line.
4. Intensify the eyeliner
With a small angled eye makeup brush, apply black eyeshadow over your eyeliner at the outer corners and wings.
Then soften the wing with a blending brush.
Apply whatever residue is left on the blending brush to the crease and outer corner of your eyelid to add definition.
Use an angled blending brush to add black shadow to your lower lash line.
5. Sharpen the wing
Use your fingernail to draw up the black shadow from your lower lash line into the wing.
Then apply a bit of translucent powder with a powder puff below the wing to clean up and further sharpen the line.
6. Elongate the inner corner
Use a nail art brush to apply black eyeshadow to the inner corner of your eye, creating a small wing.
7. Finish with mascara
Curl your lashes, pointing the curler upward and outward to assist with elongating the look of your eye.
Apply mascara with a thin, separating mascara wand, continuing to push your lashes outward and upward.
Apply a second coat of mascara with a fuller lengthening and volumizing mascara wand.

And here is my siren eye after using this elongating eye makeup technique. What a transformation - It has added so much length to my eyes and looks so sultry!
How to do doe eyes
1. Apply a light brown base
Apply the same light eyeshadow you used for the siren eye makeup to your whole eyelid, using a large blending brush.
Use a smaller blending brush to apply the same eyeshadow to your lower lash line.
Apply the same darker brown eyeshadow as before to the crease and outer corner of your eyelid to add definition.
Unlike with the siren eye technique, this time do not push any of the eye makeup upward and outward.
2. Add lightness and brightness
Apply an even lighter shade of eyeshadow around the inner corner of your eye to highlight it.
3. Add eyeliner
Apply black liquid eyeliner to your upper lash line, adding only a very small wing to the outer corner and no wing at all to the inner corner. That will make your eye appear wider rather than longer.
4. Apply shadow to your lower lash line
Apply a bit of the darker shadow to your lower line and then blend it out with a small brush.
5. Add more brightening makeup
Apply white eye pencil to your lower water line, to make your eyes look bigger and brighter.
6. Finish with mascara
Curl your lashes and apply mascara as you did with the siren eye, but this time don’t pull anything upward or outward.
Here is the completed doe eye.
