How to Get Hunter Eyes Naturally – 7 Techniques!

Although some of these techniques are not scientifically proven, many youngsters on the web and forums have reported achieving these hunter eyes with the following techniques. So, here are the 7 Hunter eye techniques that are trending on social media right now..

1. Mewing:

Mewing is a technique that requires you to position your tongue against the roof of your mouth while you breathe through your nose. The maxilla bone receives continuous pressure from this technique which leads to its forward and upward growth over time. Well, according to various youngsters, that’s what gives you the hunter eyes over time. Starting this practice as early as possible (ideally before the age of 25), is important because the older you get, the less likely you are to be able to change your facial structure. Mewing serves as an easy technique which is believed to modify your eye appearance and to achieve those dominating hunter eyes.

2. Eyelid Pulling:

Eyelid pulling is a technique where the eyelid is gently pulled, which some believe might lead to increased hooding and a more prominent brow. Furthermore, periodically pulling the eyelid can apparently contribute to a hooded eye look. People should exercise caution when using this approach. The practice of stretching eyelid skin can cause sagging and there isn’t any scientific evidence that you can achieve hunter eyes with this technique.

3. Practice proper expression:

This technique is all about a conscious effort to practice or modify facial habits to support the hunter eye appearance. Firstly, your frequency of eyebrow raises should decrease because it strengthens the frontalis muscle which causes wrinkles and reveals more of the upper eyelids. Next, your goal should be to keep your eyebrows relaxed while maintaining a neutral face with good posture. Thus the controlled use of facial muscles together with relaxed brow movements helps you achieve supported eyes which create a natural hunter eye look.

4. Chin tucking:

‘Chin tucking’, sounds interesting right? To perform this, imagine there’s a wall behind you, stand up straight against the wall and tuck your chin to your neck. The exercise of chin tucking involves lowering your chin while pulling the neck and muscles beneath the chin upwards. The exercise improves your posture while strengthening neck muscles particularly those in the chin and neck region. Although this exercise might not modify bone structure, it can help shape neck contours and reduce double chin visibility, thus helping you achieve hunter eyes.

5. Thumb pulling:

The combination of thumb pulling along with the chin tucking method discussed above, serves as a perfect combo to develop the maxilla required for hunter eyes. Well, to perform thumb pulling, stand against a wall while tucking your chin to your neck and push upwards with your thumbs on your palette behind your lateral incisors. You can achieve hunter eyes faster, by performing thumb pulling several times throughout the day. Well, the maxilla bone won’t change after a certain age, so people suggest that upward pressure on the palette remains the only effective method. Remember, thumb pulling is not about pulling the skin of the face, but instead, applying upwards force on the maxilla from the upper palate.

6. Grow and shape your eyebrows

Eyebrows serve as essential elements which frame the eyes while making the eye area appear more mature. The hunter eye look requires thick dark eyebrows that are tilted upward for maximum effect. Thus people who need help with thick eyebrows should consider both microblading eyebrows and using castor oil or emu oil. Also, shaping eyebrows can help you with the hunter eye look. The right shape of your eyebrows is also really important, and your eyes would appear much sharper if you slightly cut off the edges of your brows. Thus such proper growing and shaping your eyebrows can gradually help you get the hunter eyes you are dreaming of.

7. Strategic Makeup Application

Sometimes, strategic makeup application can significantly enhance your eyes and mimic features of hunter eyes, creating a sharp, captivating gaze. For example, the application of winged eyeliner helps to elongate and elevate the outer corners which brings out the almond shape associated with hunter eyes. Next, you can achieve depth as well as definition through the combination of smokey eyeshadow and eyeliner application. Bold lashes add drama and volume, particularly when mascara or false lashes are concentrated on the outer edges. Dark eyeshadow applied to your eyelid crease will deepen the appearance of your eyes while particular highlighting techniques will make your eyes appear more deeply set. Thus such thought-out makeup applications will automatically give you the look of hunter eyes.
