Beauty 101: Cat Eye Guide
Previous-
Step 1: Conceal It
Every look starts with a flawless complexion. Before you start on your cat eyes, finish the rest of your face. This look begins with flawless foundation, precisely applied concealer under eyes, and shading and highlighting to bring out temples, cheekbones and define the jaw. Once your face is prepped, you are ready to begin.

Step 2: Line It Up
The dramatic eyeliner is the essential part of the look. Trace a black eyeliner along your lashline. Keep the line smooth and strong. At the outer corner, flick your eyeliner brush (very carefully) upwards and outwards. Aim the line toward the middle of your temple, tapering the outer edge of the eyeliner to a fine end (not a thick square end ... that will look too heavy).

Step 3: Be Shady
Work a deep shade into the contour of your eye to create a defined socket, and blend this shadow along your crease. The trick here is to continue blending this shade upwards and outwards. Sweep a line into your lower lashes, start on the outer edge of your pupil and join this line with your eyeliner on the upper corner, keeping it right into your lash bed and softly blend.

Step 4: Blend In
The most important process of creating cat eyes is to make sure that all your applications are blended well. You are basically creating a smoky eye look, but that comes out at the corners of your eye. After each application, take time to fully blend your strokes. This will make your eyes look softer and more sexy.

Step 5: Shape Up
Make sure your eyebrows are clean. They need to be strong in order to make this look even more powerful. Shape them up and fill them in if needed. Finish your eyeshadow with a touch of subtle shimmer as a highlight under the arch of your eyebrow. This will make your eyes look more glamorous.

Step 6: Go Long
Lashes are the last piece of creating the ultimate cat eye look. Either use fake eyelashes or pack your top lashes with two to three coats of mascara. The longer and thicker you can make your lashes, the more dramatic your cat eye look will be. Don't be afraid to go for it and make your eyes pop.
