Beauty How-to

Cat-eye Makeup

What? Makeup? From Irene?
Granted, Makeup is not my strong suit, but I have a foolproof way of doing cat-eye liner! I used to have such difficulties with this look, but now it's fast and easy. It is super on trend and versatile.

You need: gel/pencil eye liner and liquid liner. I am using Maybelline's gel eyeliner and stiletto liquid eyeliner.
Start with clean eyes.

Line the top with gel or pencil liner. I am using gel liner and a brush.

Go over the pencil liner with liquid liner. Increase the volume as the brush goes to the edge of the eye.

Place a dot half way between the edge of the eye and the end of the eyebrow

Draw a triangle connecting the dot to the edge of the eye and the peak of the liner on the lid.

Fill in the triangle.

If you'd like, carry on the liner from the edge of the eye down underneath the eye. Stop half-way.

Voila!

There is no need for mascara or eye shadows, since the look is already so bold. Rock this look, mes cheris!

Bisous,
Irene
