MAC Cosmetics – Cat Eye, Upper Liner, Neutral Eye
Posted On: 09/15/07
Please note that I do not use liquid liner very often as it tends to interact adversely with my upper lash line and cause my eyes to swell shut (I sit here typing this while alternating ice over my eyes now!), but I try, so I can show you a different style.
What do you think? Does upper liner improve my look or does it detract from it? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
I used Ricepaper eyeshadow on lid, Cork eyeshadow in crease, Casablanca eyeshadow on brow, black liquid liner on upper lash line, and Feline kohl power on lower lash line. I had Cantaloupe blush on cheeks with Emote blush to contour. I wore Viva Glam I lipstick, and in the last shot, I added Prestigious lipglass.

oh christine!!!!
though you have gorgeus almond shaped eyes (cateyes =^.^= *meow* I would die for them!) the liner looks definitely very good on you!
I usually wear black liquid liner. with black mascara it’s my minimum, otherwise I feel “naked” ;)

Thank you Malice! I think I look so odd with cat eyes, lol!

I think it looks absolutely wonderful on you, especially paired with the red lippy! But darling , please do be careful. We don’t want you hurting your eyes!

Thank you! I keep trying different liners hoping they’ll be less irritating, so far, not so great!

I thiink the liquid liner gives your look another *feel*. Should I describe it as feminine or simply more womanly ! Anyway you look gorgeous !

Thank you Taj!

I think it made your eyes pop out more,thank you for going out of your way to show us another way. !!!!!!! I hope your feeling better now. Liquid liner does my eyes the same to me too.

Thanks Tiffany! I feel like it closes/narrows my eyes actually! Good to know I’m not the only one with problems :)

you need to give amy winehouse a lesson, yours looks beautiful
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
LOL! Well, she does have a style all her own!

Gorgeous! I really like it. Have you ever tried using mineral makeup as a liner? (I have a black Bare Escentuals powder shadow that I mix with water and apply with a tiny brush–you can get the strong effect of liquid liner or a softer, smokier look) It might not irritate your lids as much.
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
Thanks so much! I think it has to do with the mixture of product and brush against the upper lash line, which is just ultra sensitive. I appreciate the suggestion!
Sunday, September 16, 2007
Oh, I like the upper lined a LOT. It really makes your eyes “pop”.
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
Really? I think it makes my eyes look so squinty!
Sunday, September 16, 2007
it looks fabulous….even better than when you dont do it….there has to be eyeliner for sensitive eyes out there…or try wetting black eyeshadow and applying with a thin brush…hope you feel better
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
Thanks, Vanessa! I absolutely hate it, but I’ve never been a fan of cat eyes. It’s a mixture of the product and the feeling of the brush on that part of my eye – bad combo.

I think that with all of your beautiful features you can pull off anything…It’s a wonderful classic look that everyone can pull off now and again… We don’t want you hurting yourself in beauty’s process…

Thanks so much, Allison :)

I loooove the cateyes! it looks gorgeous on you! btw.. I absolutely adore your site.. it’s so helpful =) I’m just wondering.. I noticed you use emote blush to contour.. I’m an nc35.. and was wondering what blush is good to contour with? thanks sooo much and keep up the great work with your site =)
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
Thanks, Kim! I’m the opposite – I hate cat eyes, lol!
I’m a NC30/35, so Emote is good. I also like Taupe and Harmony.
Sunday, September 16, 2007
oh! I also forgot! how do you apply your lipstick and lipglass? do you use the wand sticks that’s already in the lipglass tube and such or do you use your own lipstick brush? thanks so much! =)
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
I apply lipstick from the tube, and lipglass depends. Sometimes from the wand, sometimes with a separate brush.

i love it! it looks gorgeous on you and i really like the way you do it, very precise. The simple clean line contrasted very well with the red lips too.
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
Thanks so much RK! :)
Sunday, September 16, 2007
This looks elegant!
It also makes you look like you’d totally kick my ass in a streetfight! All you need are massive amounts of gold jewelry. Trust me, in my ‘hood this is a complement.
Love the red on you!
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
Thanks Karen!
LOL! I’ll have to take your word for it. I wish I felt more comfortable in reds, though!
Sunday, September 16, 2007
wow i love the top lid lined, but not at the expense of swollen eyes. you look just as fab without it. btw, which liquid liner did you use? you killed the winged liner that i cannot seem to master! great neutral combo for a red lippie. ricepaper doesn’t look as frosty as they tend to look, more satin. what did you use to blend/apply them with? your blush is gorgeous and you are wearing my fav red lippie! yay!
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
Thanks Kia! I’m not even a fan of cat eyes, LOL, but it seems like everybody else is. I used Prescriptive’s liner. They have a great brush for precision.
Just used the 239 to apply, no base. :)

it looks gorgeous and is perfectly applied…. really looks good!

Thanks so much, Ignacia!

You look wonderful – very pin-up glam!
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
Thanks Toya! That’s what I was going for, so yay!
Monday, September 17, 2007
I think it’s gorgeous. Great lip color choice! A cat eye tut would be soooo appreciated!
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
Thanks love! I’ll try!
Monday, September 17, 2007

Very cool. Eyeliner certainly looks good when done well. This is done well! You must have a steady hand.
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
Thanks! Or lots and lots of q-tips to re-do it over and over again ;)
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
This look suits you very much! But of course if your eyes will swell shut everytime you do this nevermind! lol :)
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
Thanks so much! I actually hate the way cat eyes look on me, lol!
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
Beautiful as always!!!

It seems like everything does – it’s just highly irritable!
Thursday, September 27, 2007
i think it looks lush very nice
Monday, November 26, 2007
Thanks!

Ooook, I understand now why you don’t line the top… that’s the shits that it makes your eyes swell. Have you tried all different types of liner? Is it just liquid liner that causes a reaction? I notice you line your inner bottom rims a lot.. I can’t do that because my eyes react (I’m reeeally sensitive to basically everything).. what I would suggest is using a liner pencil on your top LASH line (not on the bottom, just line the bottom with shadow, and NOT on the inner rim).. and don’t line all the way across your eyelid on top or bottom.. that makes your eyes look smaller.. I just line the outer corners. If you sharpen your eyeliner pencil every time you use it, it will get rid of the bacteria, store it in a clean place, and apply it carefully and gently.. and neeever on the inner eyelids. You may go through MORE eyeliner that way, but if it means no reactions & gorgeous eyes, then I’d say it’s worth it… :) (Just buy a drugstore brand) Give this a try.. it works for me, and as I said, I’m super sensitive. Does your skin/lips react to anything, too?

To be honest, Mikella, I really dislike the way upper liner looks. I’ve only bothered to try a few times to appease others, even though it feels awful on me (I can feel the weight of the liner, lol) and looks awful in my eyes. Thanks for the suggestion, though :) It has a lot to do with any tool or product that close to the upper lash line that irritates it (I carry eyedrops in my purse 24/7 because my eyes often react).
Monday, November 26, 2007
Well, I must say that seeing so many of your pics without upper liner gave me the confidence to give shadow a shot without liner! Because it really does look very pretty, you can see more of the shadow & I like that. Obviously you know yourself best so you keep doing what you’re doing – keep your eyes feeling a-ok, you look fab!

Thanks Mikella! It can definitely work, you just have to be confident :D
