Q: Can I wear doe eye makeup with glasses?

A: Absolutely! The wide-awake effect actually helps your eyes stand out behind lenses.

Q: Does this look work for mature skin?

A: Yes. Because it avoids heavy, dragging lines, it is actually one of the most flattering easy makeup looks for mature eyes.

Q: How do doe eyes differ from siren eyes?

A: While both are popular eye makeup looks, they aim for opposite effects. Siren eyes are designed to be elongated, feline, and mysterious, using sharp wings to stretch the eye horizontally. In contrast, doe shaped eyes focus on verticality and roundness, using light colours and strategic shimmer to create an innocent, wide-awake "Bambi" appearance.

Q: Which eyeliner colour is best for a natural doe eye effect?

A: For a softer, daytime look, swapping black for brown or charcoal can make a world of difference. Using the Lakmē 9 to 5 Eyeconic Kajal in a brown shade allows you to define the lash line without the harshness of a dark black, maintaining that effortless, "born with it" charm.

Q: Can I achieve big doe eyes if I have naturally small eyes?

A: Yes, this technique is actually the most recommended style for smaller eyes! By using the Lakmē Insta Eye Liner to thicken the line only above the pupil and keeping the waterline bright with a nude pencil, you create a visual illusion of more space, making even the smallest eyes appear significantly larger and more prominent.
