This tutorial is designed to show you step-by-step how to line your upper lash line and wing out the liner subtly, which is typically called a cat-eye. This is a perfect look to wear for the holidays and New Year’s Eve parties that are happening frequently. It is also a great match when you want to go for retro-matte red lips or even an ultra glossy lip. Bold lips are always amazing when paired with such a neutral, natural eye.
You will need: Liquid black liner of your choice (Prescriptives), wash of a neutral, low-shimmer color of your choice (Ricepaper), semi-matte darker brown for the crease (Soft Brown), and highlight color of your choice (Casablanca).
Brushes: 239, 219, 266/209
Learn how I do my liquid liner…
1. Start with a clean eye-space; if you fill-in your brows, you’re welcome to do them now [or later].
2. Apply your wash of neutral eyeshadow onto your lid using a fluffy eyeshadow brush (like the 239).
3. Pull it outwards to be able to cover your entire lid area.
4. This is what it should look like. The color is only slightly lighter than my natural lid color.
5. Apply your highlight color starting below the inner portion of the brow.
6. Pull the brow outwards along the underside of the brow, following its natural arch.
7. Using the 239, apply your semi-matte deeper brown into the outer crease.
8. Pull your brush outwards towards the outermost portion of the crease.
9. This is how it should look at this point.
10. Go back and gently brush out the crease color to blend it a bit.
11. Now, with your liquid liner, use the applicator it came with if that suits you (this is what I did), and apply a fairly thin line along your upper lashes. If you do not like the applicator that comes with your liquid liner, you may want to try a fine-pointed liner brush like the 209 or an angled brush like the 266. I find that if you tilt your head up and look down at the mirror, your lid will close enough to allow you to get close to your upper lash line while still being able to see. If there’s too much liquid liner on your brush, don’t fret, just wipe a bit of the excess on the back of your hand – remember, less is more. You can always build the liner’s intensity and thickness up, but it’s harder to correct it once it’s already there!
Here are some additional tips for working with liquid liner:
- If you are completely new to liquid lining, don’t bother doing it when you’ve already created a hot eyeshadow look. Work on your liquid lining skills with just a bare eye – when you’ve gotten the hang of it, that’s when you incorporate it into your looks. It is really hard to correct big mistakes (small ones you can usually cover!), so why ruin a look you have already created?
- Try to rest your elbow onto the countertop so it can help steady your hands.
- Keep cotton swabs and eye makeup remover handy. Dip the cotton swab into the remover, and use it to erase any mistakes and make that line look even.
- Sometimes you may feel better lining in sections (think of three sections – inner upper lash line, middle upper lash line, and outer upper lash line), because you can slowly go through the process.
- Cheat your way through liquid liner by applying it first, and then putting eyeshadows on top. When you use black liquid liner, it is often quite apparent despite shadows falling on top of it. This way, you can just go back lightly to intensify the color afterwards, but you will have already gotten your perfect shape.
12. Taking your liquid liner brush and using the bottom lash line as a guide, act as if you are extending your lower lash line upwards towards the end of the brow (like you’re drawing a line towards it) by making a small flick.
13. Where you have made the flick, use your liquid liner applicator to “connect” the flick back to the upper lash line. You almost create a kind of triangle this way.
14. This is how it should look.
15. Using the 219, apply your highlighter color to your inner tearduct. Also, apply black liner to your lower lashes if you wish.
16. Pull the 219 outwards a bit so the highlighter color isn’t so stark.
17. This is how it should look right now.
18. Add your favorite mascara, and voila, you are finished.

wow another cool tutorial!!! i just bought a brand new eyeliner for christmas i cant resist from tryin it now!! and as i know myself ill do right eye perfect and mess up the left one
Christine
Monday, December 24, 2007
Thanks, Camilla! Aww, I’m just like that, it’s hard to get both perfect!
Sara
Sunday, December 23, 2007
I love the cat eye look! i always seem to mess up on the ends though…they never match on each eye! you made a little mistake on step 18-you used the bare eye picture instead of the mascara one. just thought id let you know
Christine
Monday, December 24, 2007
lol, it’s tough. Lots of practice before it becomes part of the everyday routine! Thanks for letting me know!
Tonee
Sunday, December 23, 2007
Wow – that looks great on you :) And fabulous lipstick too!
My favorite eyeliner brushes are Smashbox #8 and Stila #4. Before I discovered the wonders of long handled brushes, I used the eyeliner applicators that were attached to the lid of the product and hated them because I would get liquid liner smeared on my lashes – UGH!
Christine
Monday, December 24, 2007
Thanks, Tonee! Yeah, sometimes the applicator is awful!
lisa
Sunday, December 23, 2007
Love the natural look but could u please give me the name of a substitute in the permanent collection for casablanca. Thank u
Christine
Monday, December 24, 2007
Daisychain, which just came out, is very close. Otherwise there really isn’t anything!
Lala
Sunday, December 23, 2007
I love this look!
I have a question …since your forhead is a different shade then the inner part of your face…do you still put nc30 fondation all over your entire face?…or you use too different fondation??…or is that bronzer?lol sorry
This guy at the counter match me to nc45 (studio stick– dont ask me why I picked it…it look very easy to bring along)and its wrong…I should of went w/ out bronzer on for one…but I know it doen’t match, because it made me look like a oompa-loompa! I look too orange!!!
I know I have yellow & golden under tone and green veins…so I’m nc…but maybe I’m a 42/43/44 or could be in the “c” section?…I notice alot of people say there nc/45/c6 or something like that.
Christine
Monday, December 24, 2007
Hey Lala! My forehead is pretty much the same color as the rest of my face – it just might be the way the flash went off as it took the photo, lol.
You’re definitely a NC tone, and if it’s significant darker than you, I’d try NC40. Next time, ask for a sample of foundation so you can try it on at home first. :)
Tanya
Sunday, December 23, 2007
Oh I love the cat eye look :) so coveted but never able to perfect myself. I am nearly blind in one eye so its nearly impossible to do the liner on my “good” eye cause I just can’t see anything :( so sad for me!! LOL
Christine
Monday, December 24, 2007
Oh, goodness! My mom is practically blind in one eye as well. They need to make stencils for liquid liner ;)
Nicole
Sunday, December 23, 2007
Looks great!! But–girl don’t your eyes swell when you put eyeliner on your top lid? Be careful, we don’t want anything bad to happen to those gorgeous eyes!
Christine
Monday, December 24, 2007
Hey Nicole! Yep, they do. Actually, the last time I put on upper lash liner, I did the tutorial do. I was like, well, we’re trying a new liquid liner, so let’s get the best bang for our buck… a tutorial AND a look :)
Ashley
Sunday, December 23, 2007
thats very nice! can you tell us which eyeliner you used for lining the inner lids? thanks!
Christine
Monday, December 24, 2007
Thanks! Inner lids? I used Graphblack technakohl on lower lashes and Prescriptives liner on the upper ones.
monica
Sunday, December 23, 2007
cute look!
i wanted to know if you have ever done a review for the smashbox halo foundation
I’d love it if you would do one if you haven’t
it’s only available on QVC until the end of 2008
Christine
Monday, December 24, 2007
Thanks, Monica! I’ll try if I happen to see it in stores, I don’t shop QVC!
Cristina
Sunday, December 23, 2007
Thanks for the tutorial Christine! This will make a lovely Christmas FOTD. I would love to try this look, but I cannot find a red lipstick that suits me :( Most reds turn fuschia (even Viva Glam I).
Christine
Monday, December 24, 2007
Hey Cristina!
Wow, I can’t believe Viva Glam turns fuchsia on you! Have you tried using a lip base or applying foundation to your lips before lipstick?
Cristina
Tuesday, December 25, 2007
I tried using concealer/stick foundation on my lips before applying, and it still looked fuschia :( But it looks red on my sister (we have different skin tones). I gave it to my grandmother, so it won’t be wasted.
But I was able to do a different look for Christmas instead :) Maybe I’ll don the red lips for New Year’s Eve ;)
Christine
Tuesday, December 25, 2007
How odd! :(
Hopefully one day you can find a red that stays RED on you!
What did you end up doing for Christmas?
Cristina
Tuesday, December 25, 2007
My skintone is medium golden/very yellow, which probably why Viva Glam I looked fuschia. I did a smokey silver-green look with nude lips instead, then golden brown on another day :)
Christine
Wednesday, December 26, 2007
That sounds gorgeous, Cristina :D
Karen
Monday, April 21, 2008
Try putting on MAC Lip Erase first, and then applying your red lips, Cristina :)

Thanks Nunu! Good luck :D Liner can be tricky!
Lina
Tuesday, December 25, 2007
Fantastic tutorial! I’ve always used black eyeliner successfully, but was afraid to go beyond the lashline. But this…
act as if you are extending your lower lash line upwards by making a small flick.
… has helped a lot. Thanks! :)
Christine
Tuesday, December 25, 2007
Thanks, Lina! I’m happy to help out if I can :D
It was a trick I always did, and then when I had a MAC artist tell me it, too, I was like then it must be true! lol
Niqui
Tuesday, December 25, 2007
Beautiful! I am going to have to try that for New Years Eve! But since I don’t have liquid liner, will it work with my Fluidline and a fine tipped brush? Like a point conceler brush maybe? Thanks!:)
Christine
Wednesday, December 26, 2007
Thanks Niqui! Let me know if you do, and how it turns out :)
Yes, it’ll definitely work with fluidline. You can use a brush like the 266.
Cindy
Friday, December 28, 2007
I use liquid liner everyday and when I use pencil liner on my lower lid to make a more dramatic look, I always get black builduo in the corner of my eye. It also happens if I put the line too close to my tear duct and then the whole thing runs and I look like a raccoon. Is there anyway to prevent this?
Christine
Friday, December 28, 2007
Hey Cindy! You could try setting your liner with translucent (invisible set powder works great) powder.

Great job as usual! I always mess up at the wing tip too because I tend to be a bit heavy handed, but this step-by-step really helps me alot. Thanks Christine! You do a beautiful job as always :)
Christine
Friday, December 28, 2007
Hey! Thank you so much :) Just remember to go slowly, take your time, and it’s NOT a race – that’s what I always tell myself. If I rush it (since I do not wear it often – I think this was the third time ever), I mess up so badly!

thanks so much for this. The idea of using the bottom lash as a guide for the flick is a new one for me. Can’t wait to try it! Thanks for all of your hard work putting this out there and being open to comments as well!
Christine
Monday, December 31, 2007
It’s something I’ve always done, and when I had a few artists suggest it, too, I knew it must be a good one to share!
Thanks, Stacy!

Hi Christine,thanks for you answer,yep unfortunately the picture is hard to see,don’t know why,thanks for your suggestion,I’ll try to get used to it,but it’s difficult to do both eyes in the same way :) ,anyway congratulations again for all you do,and keep it up ;)

do you use liquid liner for your bottom water line to?!
Christine
Saturday, January 5, 2008
I don’t, personally. Fluidline is often used, though, but I prefer kohl liners! :)
Sarah
Friday, January 11, 2008
Also, if you don’t wish to put the eyeliner into the inter tear duct (Because that is how an infection is caused in the eye, from makeup getting into the eye. It’s not recommended to do by most doctors.) then you can just put it over your bottom eyelash, as she had said, using the eyelashes as a guide.
This tutorial is well done, I love it. I tried it out and have the perfect cat eye.
Thank you! This tutorial is great. ^_^
Christine
Friday, January 11, 2008
Hey Sarah! Thanks for sharing your tip!
I’m glad it helped you out!

Hey! I’m so glad you posted this with a lot of pics and details. I’m so horrible at getting it to look right… and, as many others, my eyes never seem to match up. Hopefully this will help a little bit. Thanks =)
Christine

Hey Paula! I really hope it helps you out, even in the tiniest bit :) Just keep practicing and be patient, those are absolutely vital!
janet
Sunday, January 13, 2008
i liked how you showed me step by step
but for me its harder
since im asian, my crease isnt so big
and sometimes when my eye is watery the eyeliner
and liquid eyeliner comes out right away
can you suggest any good liquid eyeliners and regular eyeliner
thats water proof
Christine
Monday, January 14, 2008
Hi Janet!
MAC’s Blacktrack fluidline isn’t 100% waterproof, but it’s very much budge-proof. MAC makes liquidlast liners that are waterproof, though, and really those do NOT budge whatsoever! Lancome makes a good waterproof eyeliner as well.
Jackie

Hello. :) I’m one of those BellaSugar readers who was led to your site and I’m really enjoying it. You make each look yours, which is impressive! While almost all of your make-up seems flawless, it seems as though your mascara might be letting you down. I’ve spent a while searching for a good mascara and I thought I might suggest a few. I usually aim to define as many lashes as possible without clumping and these seem to do that pretty well:
Clinique – High Impact mascara (traditional liquid and brush)
Estee Lauder – More than Mascara (traditional liquid and brush)
Mirenesse (An Australian brand, but shipping costs aren’t terrible; unique lash-coating tubes from liquid formula)
I know everyone has different tastes in mascara, but I like that we can all share our wealth of experience on your site. Thanks!
Christine
Thursday, January 17, 2008
Hi Jackie! Thanks for stopping by! I couldn’t tell you what mascara I used in this, as I’ve been testing different ones. I’ve actually tried both the Clinique and Estee Lauder ones you recommended and neither gave me great results, unfortunately!
Brandi
Saturday, January 19, 2008
My eyelids are slightly different shapes so its hard to make the “flick” match. But I’m still working on it. I have a question though, I always where very dramatic eye makeup and I wear liquid eyeliner quite often. Is this bad for my eyes? and I also where liquid eyeliner on the bottom. Most people complain that liquid on the bottom bothers their eyes. It doesnt bother mine, but idk if its healthy or not to where it that way. I hope not, liquid eyeliner on the bottom looks SO much better than pencil in my opinion!!
Christine
Monday, January 21, 2008
Hey Brandi! It can be hard to make them match no matter what, so no worries, I’m glad you’re working on it. I don’t think liquid liner is bad for your eyes, as it is meant to be used around the eye area – if it wasn’t safe, it wouldn’t be marketed as for the eye area!
brandi
Monday, January 21, 2008
Thanks, yea that makes sense, i just thought i should ask. Better safe then sorry!! =DD

Danyelle
Saturday, April 5, 2008
This look is great on you, but I am much darker than you. A MAC NC50, NC45 on a good day, to be exact, so these colors will look a bit chalky on me. What colors do you suggest I use? This is what I look like: http://www.blogger.com/profile/03950408739988952240
Thanks in advance….:)
Christine
Sunday, April 6, 2008
Hi Danyelle!
You could try a color like Grain or Soft Brown for a less chalky look :) You could even do Soft Brown on the lid instead of Ricepaper, and then use something like Espresso in the crease since it’ll suit your skintone better!

i totally love this look.i just have a quick question though…do u think someone could wear this look for prom?and what else could u do with ur lips (other than red lipstick)?
Christine
Sunday, May 18, 2008
Thanks so much, Medhia! Yes, you could totally rock this for prom. You can wear any lip really, though I’d opt for pinks, corals, reds, berries over nudes. Nudes may wash you out.
karen
Sunday, May 18, 2008
Someone could wear this for anything- work, grocery store, night out- anything! :D It just depends on your personality and comfort zone. If you’re not comfortable with the boldness of a pure red lip, try a sheer red gloss or even a more pink or fuschia gloss, too… anything you want! These eyes are so neutral and subtle that they can easily work with anything you can think to pair them with.
Christine
Sunday, May 18, 2008
I agree! I’ve seen women wear red everyday of their life, but it’s so natural for them that it doesn’t stand out so much either.
Shenay
Sunday, May 18, 2008

Belle
Tuesday, June 24, 2008
this is such a nice look, i would love to do this however i was wondering if i might substitute the colours you used with, shroom, ploof and satin taupe? do you think that would look ok? and plus what kind of liquid liner did you use? what would you recommend? and i noticed you used a pencil to line ur waterline, i’ve honestly tried pencils, powder’s and gel liners and absolutely nothing stays, i’m not asking for a permanent line with no touch ups but something that doesn’t irritate so much with all that messy black goop in your eye, what do you think is the best for this. i’ve been trying different products on and off since highschool and finding something that doesn’t create black goop and doesn’t fade within the hour would be amazing.
Christine
Wednesday, June 25, 2008
Thanks so much, Belle! You could definitely substitute those :)
I don’t find that pencils migrate too much, but the waterline is just not meant to hold liner, to be honest!
Belle
Wednesday, June 25, 2008
i guess i’m out of luck then!

This has helped me a lot but looks like I still need practice. I just can’t seem to get that flick down! I have a fold in my eye that kind of gets in the way and I just don’t know how to deal with it! ;) I’m going to keep trying though. Thanks again!
Christine
Thursday, July 31, 2008
Hi Pretty N Pink,
Just keep at it! It can be tough, and I’m not a pro at it by any means, because I rarely do it (so for me, I have to reallyyy take my time!). Good luck :)

You are amazing are doing eye-liner!
and the turorial was brilliant.
I was just wondering, Alexa Chung (British music & fashion presenter) always gets praise on her make-up
and she said she uses Mac paint pot in Constructivist & their liquid eye-liner too.
Would you maybe consider doing a tutorial on how to ”get her look”? it’s really natural here’s a picture:

Oops, Sorry! i was going to put in another comment from my sister, hense the two names but my computer froze
Basically..Do you find Gel eye-liners work best for an everyday look or liquid liner?
Christine
Friday, August 8, 2008
I like gel liners for everyday :) Liquid can be too harsh sometimes!

I tried using liquid eyeliner for my lids but when i took it my eye basically got all swolleen and bright pink, is there anything I could use to substitue liquid, because I love the way it looks.

Try a gel liner instead – like MAC Fluidline. Liquid liner causes my lids to swell, too!

Can this look be worn by anybody? Does the eye shape matter?

Anyone can wear this look for sure, but you’ll want to adapt it to your eye shape of course :)

LOVE this look christine! I know i’m reading the post rather late, as I have only found temptalia about 6 months ago :( I use the cat eye look with Blacktrack quite often, and I could never find a brush I liked to get enough of a thin line for detail..until I started using one of my paintbrushes! (i paint as a hobby). I use a Loew-Cornell 795 3/0 round liner brush for the gel liners and its superb! I can create some very dramatic detailed lines and carry the “wings” out really thin scroll like or just use a larger liner if I want thicker lines. And they are less expensive brushes too.

I would say just keep practicing — it really does take some practice to get the hang of everything, Yulianna!

The eye lining part is good but those lashes..YIKES!! Mascara is not supposed to make your lashes look like tarantulas. You need to curl your lashes and use some fresh, high quality mascara, coloring each lash and separating them with an eyelash comb. The lashes are NOT supposed to be clumped together, that’s just nasty. They should all be separated as much as possible.

This is the look I always wear, just like the beautiful Marilyn Monroe! I’ve found it’s easier if you put your elbow on a surface and work from the middle of your eye lid, to the end of the outer part of your eye lid than starting from your inner eye lid. Afterward, I close my eyelid and pray that I can make the “wing” straight…:P
Christine

Awesome!
Great tip, Leila!

Great tutorial and great site :) I just took a shot at this look with my newly acquired fluidline and MAC 210 brush (I used a kohl for the lower waterline though). The SA talked me into the brush and I’m happy with it (tiny!). FL is Soooo much easier than liquid liner. Your instructions were great and my eyes came out pretty good (especially for a makeup novice!).
Now all I need is a better red lip! I’ve yet to get the red-red lip down… anyway :)

Thank you so much, Melissa! :D

That was a good tutorial. You have pretty eyes and gave good instruction. I always have a hard time with the liquid liner on the lower lid, though I have been using it on the upper for years. I’m going to try again. I’m always nervous about getting it too close to my eye. Does it not irritate you to have it pretty much next to your eyeball like that?
Christine

No, not really – you get used to it, LOL.

Christine,
Thanks for the great tutorial. Are you an artist? I’m blown away by all the marvelous combinations you come up with. I honestly like your looks much better than the ones they use on the models on the different sites. I find sometimes the looks they feature may be OK for the catwalk but not something most of us would wear but you always look gorgeous without being over the top.
Christine

Nah, I wouldn’t really call myself an artist! :)
Thank you so much for the compliment, though, Michele!!
