How to do a nice cat eye make-up!

Hi Helena! I think that your make-up is so heavenly beautiful and I would like to get such a nice cat eye as you do sometimes. Preferably a make-up that is darker at the outer edges but quite light on the inside so that it does not get completely dark. Can you not show a tutorial on it and explain clearly with text how to do it? Would be so brutally appreciated! :) ”

Absolutely! I already have such a step-by-step make-up that I can show again and explain how to do and think :)

A more elongated shape is much more difficult to do than if you just follow the eye shape, because you do not have as many guidelines to follow as when you just follow your own globe line. But here's what I usually do:

Use a narrow eyeshadow brush and mark how far out you want the cat eye shape to go and at what angle. A tip is to follow the lower lash line and continue in the same slope outwards, as far out as you end up at the same level as the highest point on the globe line.

2. Fill in the eyelid with as much eye shadow as you want, either the entire eyelid or just the outside as I have done to make room for a new color.

Place a skin-colored eyeshadow / highlighter or a transparent powder above the mold. This is done so that the primer is not as damp, then it is easier to fade the edges.

4. Use a small fluffy brush and fade the edges so that they are not as sharp.

5. Use a larger fluffy brush and fade out to make the edges even softer!

Here you see the guidelines I suggest in point 1 - to follow the lower lash line and continue in the same slope outwards, until you end up at the same level as the highest point on the globe line. This is absolutely no rule on what it should look like but just a tip!

Other tips to keep in mind:

The most important thing to keep in mind is to work carefully with the brush and not to blur too much, otherwise it can easily happen that you pull out the eye shadows too far or that it looks dirty. Be patient, be light on your hand and blur a little at a time!

You can do this with any color, but a matte, black eye shadow that I have used is the most difficult shade to get nice. Brighter colors and shimmery shadows are lighter. But if you feel that it will be too difficult, but still want black, then you can apply a little brown eye shadow in the edges as well, because brown is easier to fade out and get nice is black,

And when you have come this far, you can choose how you want to continue, but black eyeliner along the waterline + a sharp eyeliner with a wing, I think is super nice, then you really get that intense cat look :)

This is an old make-up as I said, I did it in January so it's almost a year ago :)

Hugs are!
