A cat eye is a classic makeup look that can be flattering on any eye shape. It’s also a relatively easy look to achieve, once you get the hang of it. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to apply eyeliner for a cat eye:
- Choose the right eyeliner. There are many different types of eyeliner on the market, so it’s important to choose one that’s right for you. If you’re a beginner, I recommend using a liquid eyeliner. Liquid eyeliners are easy to apply and give you a sharp, precise line. If you’re more experienced, you can try a gel or pencil eyeliner. Gel and pencil eyeliners are more forgiving than liquid eyeliners, but they can be harder to get a sharp line with.
- Prepare your eyes. Before you start applying eyeliner, make sure your eyes are clean and free of makeup. You can also use a primer to help the eyeliner stay in place.
- Start by drawing a thin line along your upper lash line. Don’t worry about making it perfect at this point, you can always go back and thicken it up later.
- Extend the line out towards the outer corner of your eye. As you extend the line, make sure it’s angled upwards. The angle of the wing will depend on the shape of your eye. If you have round eyes, you’ll want to make the wing more dramatic. If you have almond-shaped eyes, you can make the wing more subtle.
- Connect the line to the outer corner of your eye. Once you’ve extended the line to the desired length, connect it to the outer corner of your eye.
- Fill in the line. Once you’re happy with the shape of the wing, fill it in with eyeliner. You can use the same technique you used to draw the line, or you can use a brush to fill it in more evenly.
- Add a touch of mascara. To finish off the look, add a coat of mascara to your lashes. This will help to accentuate the cat eye and make your eyes look even more dramatic.
Here are a few tips for applying eyeliner for a cat eye:
- Use a steady hand. The most important thing when applying eyeliner is to use a steady hand. If your hand is shaking, try resting your elbow on a flat surface.
- Start small and build up. Don’t try to make the wing too big or too dramatic at first. Start with a thin line and then gradually build it up until you’re happy with the size and shape.
- Be patient. It takes practice to master the cat eye. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get it right the first time. Just keep practicing and you’ll eventually get the hang of it.
With a little practice, you’ll be able to master the cat eye and create a look that’s both glamorous and sophisticated.
