Just like Manon inspired TikTok users to try a new eyebrow shape and Sophia sent fans on a goose chase to find her lip gloss, Daniela Avanzini is the latest KATSEYE member to be causing a stir in the beauty world.
Between all the buzz about their hit song “Gnarly,” KATSEYE fans, nicknamed EYEKONS, found themselves enchanted by Daniela’s eyeliner, perhaps because of her close-up in the performance choreography. Our TikTok “For You” pages are filled with people hoping it will become the next big trend. Luckily, we caught up with Daniela on the set of our Teen Vogue cover shoot and talked all about her eyeliner routine, so we have all the deets you need to know about the look to recreate it at home.
“I'll take a thick black pencil liner, and I'll go in my waterline under and sometimes I'll go on top inside, not on the outside,” Daniela tells Teen Vogue. “I'll go literally in my eye all black, and then I'll do a small thin wing on the outside, diagonally up. And then the most important part, the inner corner.”
The small downward point — the key is to go downward, not straight out, she emphasizes — in the inner corner is essential to the look.
“I feel like it also gives me that siren eye, which I absolutely love,” she says, referring to the TikTok trend that inspired her. “I love, love, love my eyes to look like this, because it's so sexy and fierce and c*nty.”
In KATSEYE’s cover story, Daniela Avanzini also notes how she was inspired by the way her mother used to do her makeup for her ballroom dance performances. She reveals that she hated it at the time, but she grew up to realize that the heavier makeup made all the difference when she performs on the stage.
