Cat-Eye Tutorial


Cat-Eye Tutorial
I’ve done a cat-eye tutorial, before – but my routine has been updated a bit, in the last four years. Click the photo for full size of the step by step how-to!

Step one: Use a felt tip liner to draw the initial line, both above and between your lashes. I like using a felt tip liquid liner, like Stilaā€™s Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner, because it gets between your lashes and doesnā€™t smudge, the way some pencils do. Most people skip this step, but then you run the risk of having a gap between your liner and your lashes!

Step two: Go over the initial line with a liquid liner. My absolute favorite is Urban Decayā€™s 24/7 Liquid Eyeliner in Perversion. The skinny brush is great for precision, and the liquid liner has a super slick finish. Tip: start with a thinner line and build it to your desired thickness. Itā€™s easier to build than take away.

Step three: Imagine a dotted line that extends from your lower lashline and continues up and out, in the same direction. Now, draw a line to match that. Tip: If you need help keeping things symmetrical, you can draw a dot (on both sides) of where you want the tail to end, before drawing the entire line.

Step four: Connect the tip of that line to the initial liner, forming a triangle.

Step five: Fill it in!

Step six: Using a very light hand, line your outer, lower lashes with pencil.

Step seven: Finish with mascara.
