7 steps for cat eyes make-up to be popular

-Sweet little devil-like, bold use of color

Characteristic of cat eyes is wide opened eyes, but if you don’t have big eyes, bold use of color is also important to draw people’s attention to your eyes. To emphasize black eyes, try drawing thin eye line in red, green glittery eye shadow, or something that seems a bit too vivid. Earrings or piercings should be small, and only wearing lip gloss is good enough to put emphasis on your eyes. Make-up technique to concentrate on one point works for everyone.

-Create light and dark contrast

First of all, use light colors to inner side of your eye holes. Use brown glittery eye shadow as a base, add your favorite color, and use white highlight as an accent. Use dark colors for the corner of eye holes.

From the corner of an eye to one third of your eye hole, draw dogleg line in dark color. First use dark brown, and then add black to edge of eyes.

-Eye line is a key

Here is the most important thing for cat eyes make-up, to draw flicking eye line at the corner of eyes. Make the end of a line with degree as though you are adding an eye lash. If this is too difficult, make upside-down triangle from the middle of eye hole to the corner of an eye, and fill in a triangle with black liquid eye liner. Thick line is good. Then, add jumping line at the edge.

Eye lines of Audrey Hepburn are drawn in this way. Please refer to her pictures.

-Put mascara 3 times

After using eyelash curler, add volume and length to your lashes with mascara. Cat eyes greatly depend on how mascara is used. First layer of mascara is with beauty essence, apply neatly. When completely dried, apply volume adding type mascara over it.

Second mascara should be waterproof, strong against sweat. After drying, add length to the edge of your eyes with thin and resilience mascara. Once again, apply neatly. Use pointed Q-tip to remove clumping.

-Light eyebrows

Successful with clear, cat eyes? Now work with eyebrows. To put emphasis on eyes, you should make eyebrows lighter. Use light browns to draw eyebrows, and adjust with thin pencil.

Thickness of brows depends on your favor, but thin brows emphasize eyes more. Edges of brows should be about same thickness. When adjusting colors, use brown 2 tones darker than your skin and make natural brows.

-45 degrees angle is the best

As you compare beautiful make-ups, you will realize something in common. It is that upside-down triangle created with lines connecting outer edges of eye brows and edges of mouth is in 45 degrees. This is what is called “beautiful angle”.

Please remember this angle. To create it, adjust the length of eyebrows. If your angle is larger than 45 degrees, make brows shorter. If smaller than 45 degrees, make brow longer. By just creating this angle, eyes are emphasized and your face looks smaller. This technique is the special weapon.

-Small items are important

To show your cat eyes effectively, small items are also important. Like everyone look like a cat when wearing “cat ears”, prepare something with images of cat. Sunglasses or hair accessories using rhinestones, with animal patterns printed, are useful for all seasons.

For your outfits, active fashion is better than feminine clothes for this make-up. Also refer to fashions of celebrity with cat eyes.

How was my advice?

Are you satisfied? Cat eye make-up looks good on Japanese girls. Even if you don’t have big eyes, use strong eye lines and you can easily make cat eyes. Professionals think more of “colors” than lines.

For your skin, use darker foundation for just around your eyes and smooth gently. This technique draws more attention to upper half of your face. Please learn from faces of celebrities as well as professional eye make-up technique.
