Things Required

It’s time you discarded the pencil, which has been in your kit for years now. For cat eye look, pencil won’t work as it’s too dry, so keep it aside. Here are the equipment you’ll need –

Gel eyeliner – It is ideal for first timers, as it’s easy to use. You’ll require an angled brush to apply the gel liner.

Liquid eyeliner – If you’re already familiar with eye makeup then go for this type, which can give you a precise contour lining.

HOW TO APPLY THE EYELINER?

• You’ll need a steady hand to give a flawless stroke above your eyelids and for this, you’ll need practice. No matter how much you’re running sort of time, while applying eye makeup make sure you do it carefully and slowly. You’ll or else end up with a complete mess with smudged eyes.
• Mark some dots along the upper lid, close enough to the lashes. The dots should start from the inner area and stop before you reach the outer end
• After the marking is done, now it’s time to draw a line joining the dots. Try sketching a very thin line and without any break, or else you’ll end up having tails
• When you reach the last dot, just give an upward stroke at an angle of 45 degree. If you end up with a long flick then you can remove it later with makeup remover
• Now fill the inner part and when you reach one-third portion then it’s time to thicken the lining and when you reach the end of the wing, make sure the filling is thinner again
• You can now sketch a third line (which is optional), connecting it to the winged part. Do not forget to fill this part
• When you’re done with the other eye, it’s time to compare the length of both the contours and the angle of your flick
