How To: Creating the Perfect Cat Eye


Cat eye makeup can give you a stylish look, suitable for every occasion, whether it is a party, business dinner, or usual weekday, as the 50s cat eye makeup trend has arrived into the modern high fashion world.

Creating the Rihanna or Beyonce cat-eye effect is not as difficult as you may expect though--there are easy steps you can follow to make the process of application smoother.

  1. Perfectly prepped lids will make your look last, so start with a quick application of eye primer. (Tip: If your skin tends to be on the oily side, dust each lid with a sheer coat of translucent powder or neutral eyeshadow.)
  2. Next, trace your upper lashes with a thin coat of liquid liner, connecting the outer to inner corners of each eye, following your natural lash line. (Tip: Liquid liner can be challenging, so feel free to trace your steps first with an eyeliner pencil.)
  3. Starting just beyond the pupil and moving towards your temple, draw a second coat of liquid liner, thickening the line just slightly as you approach the outer corner of the eye.
  4. Once you’ve reached the edge, gently angle the line upwards about a quarter of an inch and fill in as needed. (Tip: the longer the winged stroke, the more dramatic the look!)
  5. If your liner needs a touch-up, take a makeup-removing pen and even out the edges.
  6. For a fetching finish touch, add some faux fringe with a few false lashes!
