There isn’t just one way to complete a successful cat eye, so let’s ease in without apprehension.

For a day look be simple but do make an impression; brush on a nude or almond shadow over lid, apply liquid black liner really close to the lash line and wing out slightly in the corner. Don’t fret if there are any mistakes, dip a cotton swab in makeup remover and voila the mess is gone. Curl your lashes and use a brown mascara for a less dramatic look. 

To achieve a slightly mod look, use a tone fleshed eye shadow from lash line to brow. Use a liquid liner along your upper lashes following closely the shape of your eye. For the bottom lid, line the waterline with a gel based pencil for a more intense look.

Go bold with color(s) by swiping your lid with nude shadow, do a swipe of bright liner on upper lashes, thickening at the end, swooping up towards brow. Finish off with a  gunmetal or silver line on the bottom.

For an exaggerated eye, extend the flick at the end, trace multiple times with liquid liner to make it thicker and dramatic.
