Cat eyeliner has got to the most unpredictable thing in makeup. You never know what shape you'll end up with. One wrong move & you'll have to think of ways to make it look right. I thought I'd share with you how I've been doing mine, because I think it's almost mistake-proof.
By the way, this is how I lined my eyes in the MAC Big Bounce Impeccably Rich post...
So, here's a step-by-step tutorial:
*It's up to you whether you want to line the lower lash line or not. I prefer to do it.
- Apply eyeshadow on lid. Here I used a very light shade (TF Pillow Talk shown below). Start lining from center of lid towards the outer corner, stop after drawing 1/2 " or so- as shown.
- Continue to line straight out. Make sure the end doesn't exceed the end of your eyebrow tail.
- Now join the end of the line to the outer end of your eye.
- Line the rest of your eye starting from center to the inner corner. Try to make it thinner as it goes in.
- Time to fill inside the lines now& tightline the inner part of your eye now, so there's no visible gaps. Tightlining tutorial here
- DONE!
Lastly, apply mascara on top & bottom lashes. After I lined my bottom lash line & joined it to the upper wing, I ended up with this....
Products Used:
Because I have hooded lids, it's important that I contour my crease. I used Pillow Talk on lid & Like A Virgin on the crease and lower lash line. Both eyeshadows are from the Too Faced Naked Eye Palette

ReplyDeleteBlack's come so rich n dark! Looks superbly striking against ur brown brows and eyes! Pretty! ^.^ Btw, d u think if i use black shadow/ pencil using a feathery touch on my brows, it'd look stark? I've black/brown brows and deep brown-to-black eyes.

ilovecooking- Black always looks too harsh even on black brows. 2 shades lighter than your natural hair is better. Pick medium brown instead.

Wowiee!! I am super happy to see this...i've been trying ti do this since so long and somehow ant seem to do it so cleanly...infact i hv a query ...i never quite manage to do both eyes exactly the same..any tips?
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! it seems easy in that way!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cynthia. i wanted this tutorial so bad...
ReplyDeletenow i will try this for sure, earlier was never confident to do it right...
one doubt, how should we draw the lines or apply any liner?? because when applying liner i always tend to strech my eye to close it and do it right but i fear that the method might not be right...
Thank you for this tutorial... I have tried so many time however it never came perfect & clean :)

Excellent tutorial, Cynthia. :)
ReplyDeleteAdaa- Glad u find it helpful :)
ReplyDeleteZara- They rarely look the same, but it helps if you do both eyes simultaneously.
Meenu- Try not to pull yr eye area, but it's better to pull (gently) than make a mistake. I keep my eyes open when lining.

Lol, I don't think I could even draw a line to fill in that perfectly! Very nice trick though, I'm going to give it shot. I love the Too Faced palettes though, I have one that's called something Romance that I use everyday :)
