How To Create The Perfect Cat Eye Look

The perfect cat eye-liner look is always fashionable and is an all-time favourite with most ladies. It is totally fresh, classy and it can give anyone wearing it a mysterious, sultry look even with the rest of the make up being left low key.

However making a cat eye look with make up or eye-liner needs a lot of practice, but with the correct instructions you can easily create this look in a few minutes whenever you need it! For creating this particular look, you can either use gel eye-liner, eye pencil or liquid liner of your choice. Here are some simple steps that will easily guide you to creating the perfect cat eye look:

First of all, choose an eye shadow shade that is a little bit lighter than the skin tone of your eyelid and using a large eye shadow brush, lightly dust all over your eyelid.

Then, apply a highlight colour following the natural arch of your eyebrow, beginning from the inner brow and then sweeping outwards. At the edge of your eye crease apply a subtle brown shadow brushing inwards to about half way. Using a fluffy eye shadow brush, blend the shadow to make a more subtle appearance.

Next, draw a line as close as possible to your lash line starting in the middle of your top lid, bringing the line upwards past the lash line to create the eye-liner wing. Bring the line back to the inner corner of the eye. You can choose a thin line for an elusive look or a thick line for a more dramatic look. To be able to create a straight line takes time and a lot of practice. You can draw either many short strokes or a single stroke line.

After you finish drawing the wing, make a fine line to the upper lash line. This creates an empty triangle on the top of your upper lid. You can make a slightly bigger triangle that ends at the middle of the lash line if you want to make your eye-liner thicker. But if you prefer a subtle look, then just make a small triangle that ends in the outer corner.

You should then colour the triangle that you have drawn with the preferred colour. A dull colour blends in well. Finally, finish your sexy look with either two or three thickening or lengthening mascara.

There you have it, the perfect cat eye look!
