Cat-Eye

By: Amberly Asay

The Cat-Eye look was made popular by pop stars like Katy Perry, but this look is one that opens and shows off your gorgeous looking eyes.  There are a few steps that you need to take in order to make the perfect cat-eye.

1.  Choose your eyeliner
 Most people use a liquid liner, if you are just starting to use liquid liner, we would suggest: Covergirl Liquiline Blast Eyeliner.

2. Figure out your shape
Figure out the shape of your eye and where you want to stop drawing the liner.  This can take a while, and it may take longer to make it even. But that is where Q-tips come in handy.  Keep them nearby, and use them to help shape your perfect eye line.

3. Drawing the line
Gently drag the liner across the line, making it slightly thicker as you go.  Keep drawing until you get to the end of your lashes.  The last and most important step is to make it even.

4. Exaggerate with lashes
You can put on false lashes if you want, or you can just use normal mascara.  When applying mascara, stroke the brush toward your nose. This elongates your lashes and makes your eyes look more open.

5. Keep other makeup subtle
The general rule to makeup still applies, you should only play up one part of your makeup.  If you are going to play up the lips (like a red lip) then you need to keep all of your other makeup natural looking.  If you are going to keep the eyes big, do a more subtle lip.
