Cat Eye

Cat eye makeup is making a huge comeback! Making up your eyes in this fashion adds to their appeal, and can make you look, mysterious, seductive and glamorous. While everyone would like to accomplish the art of  getting that feline look, it requires skill and the right techniques. A wrong step could lead to terrible results, and make you look like you were trying and it was an epic fail...and everyone knows....:)

Step 1: Use the tweezers to remove any eyebrow hairs that might stray in the way when you are working on your eye makeup. Once this is done, use concealer or foundation to minimize the presence of dark circle underneath. Everything should be clean to allow the liner to stand out.

Step 2: For a classic cat eye look, use a vanilla colored eyeshadow from brow to lid blending as you go.

Step 3: Start on your eyes with the eyeliner. Hold the outer end of your eyelid taut and with a steady hand, work your way from the inner eye towards the outer end of the eyelid. End the line by sweeping out and up slightly. Use the eyeliner to thicken the line that you have just drawn. If you do not have a steady hand, apply a few light dots with the eyeliner and then fill them in, smoothing out the dots as you go.

Step 4: Lashes!  Curl them with eyelash curlers so that there is more definition added to your eyes. Apply a few strokes of mascara, or if you have sparse lashes, add in some lash pieces. Recoat with mascara and use a little comb to take care of any clumps.

Step 5: Add the final touch by enhancing your eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil! This is such an important step in framing your face!
