With the emergence of Mad Men and British wunderkind, Adele so has come the popularity of a frisky retro look. So popular, the trend has even transcended to celebrities and runways. I am talking of course, about the cat-eye. Simpler than it looks, there are several ways you too can be on-trend with this catty look. Read on to learn multiple ways to be feline fabulous!
A lot of cat-eye looks are exclusive to the upper lashes, but if you feel extra daring, feel free to line your bottom lashline as well, connecting it to the top line, keeping with the shape you desire.
My favorite tool to use for a cat-eye is a pen-like liquid liner. Holding the pen flatly against your lashline, draw small dashes as close to your lashes as possible.

My go-to product for this look is Motives Luxe Precision Eye Line. It has a velvet tip pen that is super easy to use and it comes in three colors.

I like Smashbox Jet Set Waterproof Eyeliner.

Spread a metallic cream shadow over your lid, from the lashline to the crease, extending it out past your lid and under your bottom lashes. Create a wing with the same shadow for a graphic cat-eye look. Try MAC Paint Pot.
So there you have it my dears, a few different ways to get one of my favorite looks. Where do you plan to wear this feline pretty look?
