Tutorial - Cat Eye Liner, Liquid Liner Tips, Neutral Eye
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
Thanks, Camilla! Aww, I’m just like that, it’s hard to get both perfect!
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
lol, it’s tough. Lots of practice before it becomes part of the everyday routine! Thanks for letting me know!
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!
Thanks, Tonee! Yeah, sometimes the applicator is awful!
Love the natural look but could u please give me the name of a substitute in the permanent collection for casablanca. Thank u
Daisychain, which just came out, is very close. Otherwise there really isn’t anything!
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.
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. 🙂
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
Oh, goodness! My mom is practically blind in one eye as well. They need to make stencils for liquid liner 😉
I can never get my eyeliner perfect 🙁 so I almost always go without. I do a great look and then the eyeliner usually messes it up. So thank you so much for this article! I love all your articles and tutorials <3 they are extremely helpful! 🙂
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!
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 🙂
thats very nice! can you tell us which eyeliner you used for lining the inner lids? thanks!
Thanks! Inner lids? I used Graphblack technakohl on lower lashes and Prescriptives liner on the upper ones.
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
Thanks, Monica! I’ll try if I happen to see it in stores, I don’t shop QVC!
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).
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?
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 😉
How odd! 🙁
Hopefully one day you can find a red that stays RED on you!
What did you end up doing for Christmas?
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 🙂
That sounds gorgeous, Cristina 😀
Try putting on MAC Lip Erase first, and then applying your red lips, Cristina 🙂
I would love to know which shade of lipstick you are wearing! Thanks!
Viva Glam I!
Are you wearing plushlash mascara or something different?
I think this might have been Zoomlash, I’m not sure. I took the photos for this tutorial months ago so I don’t remember!
Oh and thanks for the tutorial! They’re always so helpful 😀
No problem, Bec!
i love this tutorial! i have to try it because i never get my eyeliner straight!! you are great and i love your blog <3<3
Thanks Nunu! Good luck 😀 Liner can be tricky!
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! 🙂
Thanks, Lina! I’m happy to help out if I can 😀
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
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!:)
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.
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?
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 🙂
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!
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,
TIP WAS VERY AWESOME!!! CAN U GIVE TIPS FOR BASE AND CAMOUFLAGE.
THANKS
Hi Rachana!
A great base is Urban Decay’s primer potion. I’m not sure what you mean by camouflage!
your entire site is sooo helpful. you seem like such a sweet person as well- always replying to comments and putting so much effort into helping everyone on here with makeup!
Thanks so much Kirsten! 🙂 I am glad you are liking the site!
HiI’m a fan of yours.I just wanna thank u for all the tutorials you did, they’re very helpful. As for this I try to do it but I mess up a little bit,let’s see.These are my attempts,do you have any suggestions?My attempt
Thanks for your attention in reading this 🙂
Hey Claudia! Your picture link worked, but the picture itself is hard to see! From what I can see, I think it looks okay… Practice will make it perfect 🙂 You’ll mess up less once you get used to it!
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 😉
It’s my pleasure, hun! Just keep practicing and you’ll have it perfect for sure. Thanks!
Awesome tutorial! And I love the new layout of the site, looks great 🙂
Thanks, Lisa!
do you use liquid liner for your bottom water line to?!
I don’t, personally. Fluidline is often used, though, but I prefer kohl liners! 🙂
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. ^_^
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 =)
Hey Paula! I really hope it helps you out, even in the tiniest bit 🙂 Just keep practicing and be patient, those are absolutely vital!
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
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.
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!
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!
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!!
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!
Thanks, yea that makes sense, i just thought i should ask. Better safe then sorry!! =DD
damn you are gorgeous!
Thank you, Chris!
I SOOOO LUV THE CATEYE. WITH EVERY SHADOW COMBO I DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE MY CATEYE. IT BRINGS OUT MY EYE SHAPE ALOT. SO YA . LUV IT HUN!
Thanks, MAC Girl! 🙂

Well .. I tried out my first cat eye make up this morning and it’s looking purrrrfect!
Thanks from the UK!
YAY! Congrats 😀
I feel like Cleopatra now that I have started to get this look down pat! Thanks again .. Fiona
Christine, I was wondering if you could substitute the liquid liner with a liquid liner pencil?
Definitely, Sash!
I loved this tutorial..
I’ve found a new favorite liquid liner and thought i would share.. It’s Covergirl’s Line Exact.. the applicator is really really easy to use.. and i love to add their new Lash Blast mascara.. great look!
Thanks, Rue! Thank you for sharing that product recommendation with us!
wow, this is so cool my boyfriend tells me even more that i look very nice….it raizd my self-eastem alot, i have to thank you for this. THANKS!!
That’s so great to hear, Vanessa! I’m so happy for you!
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….:)
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!
is the prescriptives eyeliner/waterproof/smudgeproof/sweatproof? may i have the name of the actual liner?
Hey Len, it’s called Lucky Stroke.
Did u use liquid for the lower lining?
No, I used fluidliner.
Oh Temptalia that is so pretty and just what I needed cuz everytime I attempt at this look my eyeshadow is too stark and bright cuz I don’t apply a crease color but soft brown is perfect and now I gotta get it!!
Thnx alot!!
Hey Ayat! Thanks so much 🙂 Soft Brown is a really great crease color!
I have NEVER come across a better website. The tips are amazing. Girl, you ROCK!
Thank you so much, Angelica! 🙂
can any1 temme how can we make a lower liner,datz make a tear cum out..i mean it burns out in da eye yaa !! plz help me out i m very crazy for lower eyeliner..
Hi Reshu, I don’t quite understand what you’re asking!
This was extremely helpful, and just in time for prom!
Thanks, Deidra!! 🙂 Have fun at prom!
hey dear, is that a liquid liner that u used on ur waterline ? wont it hurt ? =( i cant find any good liners that will stay on my waterline !
I used Blacktrack fluidline on my waterline, it is a gel liner!
oh mac’s one huh? does it stay on long ? =)
I find it stays on pretty well for me, Shenay!
hmm cool ! i think i should get it then ^^ thanks alot dear !
My pleasure 🙂
One word: BEAUTIFUL! =)
Just a quick question – what is the name of the red lipstick you are wearing in the last pic?
Thanks!
I believe it’s Viva Glam I!
Aww i love how you’re so nice to everybody that posts =) Cool tutorial
It’s my nature 😀 Thanks, Jaxxx!
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)?
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.
Someone could wear this for anything- work, grocery store, night out- anything! 😀 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.
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.
thanks dear for the suggestion on Fluidline on my waterline! ive finally found a solution to eyeliners-smudging on my waterline! thanks x 10000 =)
No problem!! I’m so glad it worked, Shenay!
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.
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!
i guess i’m out of luck then!
thanks! this was really helpful
Hi Kaykay,
No problem, happy to help!
Thank you so much for the great pictures and good description. I’ve spent half a day trying to find a good website to show makeup techniques. I’m very happy to find yours. Please keep up the good work. Hoping for more pics and tutorials.
No problem, Pam! I’m so happy that this has helpd you!
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!
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:

Thanks!
Thanks, Sophia!
I will put it on the list!
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?
I like gel liners for everyday 🙂 Liquid can be too harsh sometimes!
Thank you very much for this tutorial! It was very concise and easy to understand!
No problem, Louisa!
i love love love this tutorial!! beautiful!! <33
Thanks, Brandi!
Hello, I was going to give you a stumble, because I love your tutorial, but couldn’t find where to do it.
You can install the Stumble toolbar and then you’ll see an icon at the top!
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 🙂
wow, so pretty!!
Thanks, Stefani!
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.
Thanks, Brenda! 🙂 I’m so glad you found the site & are coming back!
Thanks for the heads up on the brush! I’ll have to check it out!
u look great-im a new comer here
how do you now so much? your great at makeup and everything
are you a professional?
Thanks, Rin! I just practiced a TON 🙂 Not really a professional — definitely no professional training or background!
christine thanks for your make up tips they are very helpful please keep adding more to your site y have seen them all and always learning something new…
Thanks, Yulianna!
i just started putting make up on and its very hard to get the liner in place like you do. my lashes are short and also find it hard to place false eye lashes what do you recommend???
I would say just keep practicing — it really does take some practice to get the hang of everything, Yulianna!
WOW. Your eyes are so gorgeous!
Thanks, Marika!
PRETTY EYEZ 😉
CAT EYE, MY SiGNATURE TRADEMARK.

Thanks, Thalia!
Wow! This is the best cat eye tutorial I’ve found! Thanks so much! (I can never seem to get it quite right lol).
And I gotta say, you have some gorgeous eyes, woman!
<3
Thank you SO much, Tess!! Good luck!
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.
Thanks for the tip!
You Are So Glam I Just Love It Simple Yetn Sophisticated Love It TY X
Aww, thanks, Jordan!
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
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! 😀
I’m so glad you liked the way it came out!
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?
Thanks so much, Ana!
No, not really – you get used to it, LOL.
Okay, so I go on google looking up how to do cat eyeliner and i find this
i have to say
thank you so much! I am going to get so much use out of this, you dont even know.
-MoniqueLauren
YAY! So glad it’s helpful! Good luck, MoniqueLauren!
Nicely done tutorial… step by step images are very clear!
Thanks, Di!
it helped me do my school work 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.
Nah, I wouldn’t really call myself an artist! 🙂
Thank you so much for the compliment, though, Michele!!
Beautiful
Heey Christine!
It looks great on you! It always looks terrible if i do it by myself 🙁 I hope you have much more tutorials, cause they’re briliant! Thanks!
Thanks, Hannah! 🙂
What color eyeshadows where used in this tutorial?
Ricepaper, Soft Brown, Casablanca
oooo!! i likes!!! i Looove the natural colors. looks very good along w/ the eyeliner of course!!!
Thanks, Lisa! 😀
wow tnx for this tutorial…=)
My pleasure, Kate B!
I love it, you look like a classic beauty!! I’m trying that today!!!
Thanks a lot, Helenita!
Ive been looking on how to do the cat eye look and couldnt find anything this is great!! your eyes look really pretty =]Thank you
Thanks, Pita! Hope it helps!
Uhhhh! You look so beautiful Christine, like classic Hollywood, so glamourous!!! hugs from Guatemala!
Thank you, Helenita!
you look so beautiful! i wish you’d do your hair like this now instead of just slicked back
Thanks, Ali! I wear my hair both up and down… just depends on the day.
Hi Christine!!
I’m searching for a true and vibrant purple liquid/gel eyeliner.Can you give some tips?
Many thanks,and love Temptalia!!
😀
Maybe MAC Macroviolet?
hey,
which liner have u applied for your waterline?!
i’ve tried all kinds of liners but they dont really look that neat
btw., i lovee the look! =]
Graphblack
thenkyouu so much!!!
it helped alott!
No prob, Carol!
I love the cat-eye look and will definitely try all the tips in your tutorial. I don’t feel like my eyes water a lot, but by the middle of the day my liner is globbed at the outer corners of my eyes. I wear a foundation primer and a shadow primer but neither seems to help. I’ve tried various types of eyeliners and they all seem to do the same thing. I want the cat-eye look, but I’m sure I will have a black glob in the corner of my eye pretty quickly. Any suggestions to help???
Try MAC Fluidline or Liquidlast liner!
Also try the MAC Penultimate eye liner, it’s great and precise and not runny at all. 🙂
This is GREAT help… can’t wait to test it out I’m so happy to finally find someone who talks it bit by bit with a photographic evidence of each step!
Thanks, Tara!
wow! First, you have gorgeous eyes! I love your tips,they’ve helped me a lot 🙂 Thank you!
Thanks, Kels!
