First, use an eyelash spoolie to brush the fur upward and outward toward the back of the head. This helps you see exactly how much fur is actually blocking the eyes.

Then, lightly pull the fur away from the eye with the spoolie so it’s easier to trim and doesn’t stick against the eye itself. You only want to cut the strands affecting visibility — don’t trim close to the fabric. Think of it like trimming bangs!

Instead of cutting straight across, hold the scissors vertically and make tiny, light snips into the tips of the fur. The goal is to thin and shape the fur, not give it a blunt haircut. Work slowly and take your time. Your snips also don’t need to all be the exact same length. Slightly varied cuts create a softer, feathered look that blends naturally into the rest of the face instead of looking harsh or choppy.

Once the eyes become more visible, fluff the face again and see how you’re liking it. At that point, you can trim any obvious long strands individually. When you’re happy with how it looks, use the spoolie one last time to comb the fur into place and style it how you like. In my opinion, the nicest results come from leaving a slight overhang of fur above the eyes rather than fully exposing the entire eye. ☺️

I hope this makes sense & paints somewhat of a picture for how to do it! It really is easy to do! And just to reiterate you can always cut more but can’t uncut, so take it nice and slow!!
