The sexy "cat-eye" look is one of the most popular and beautiful looks in Hollywood. This trick makes your eyes pop and gives you that instant bit of "glam" even on your most casual day!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 3 shades of eyeshadow (any color works, however I prefer neutral or natural colors for this particular look)
  • eyeshadow applicators
  • eyeliner
  • mascara
  • eyelash curler
  • mirror
  1. Step 1
     

    apply lightest shade of eyeshadow from the crease in your eye up to your brow. using your ring finger, blend outer edge.

  2. Step 2
     

    apply middle shade over entire lid.

  3. Step 3
     

    apply darkest shade along entire crease. slightly blend color with your ring finger.

  4. Step 4
     

    this is where it gets "artistic." you will want to make sure you use a small brush for this. using the same darkest shade, create a slight "triangle" in the outer corner. the shape of this is key. also make sure to fill in the corner of your eyelid so that it blends and creates a nice "shadow" effect. apply the darkest shade on the lower lid as well, beginning from around the middle of the eye outward.

  5. Step 5
     

    apply your eyeliner on top and bottom lids. i like to make mine a little thicker at the outer corners, following the shape of that darkest shade of eyeshadow. i then blend it with my ring finger so that it has a more natural effect.

  6. Step 6
     

    curl lashes and apply mascara

  7. Step 7

    go out and flaunt what you got girl!!! :)
