How to Create Flawless Cat Eye Makeup in 7 Easy StepsMaster cat eye makeup with these foolproof hacks that ensure you'll get perfectly lined lids every time |
Cat eye makeup is arguably one of the hardest beauty looks to create -- for eyeliner novices and pros alike. That's because a flawless cat eye requires razor-sharp precision to pull off symmetrical feline flicks.
Few makeup looks are as classic and sultry as the cat eye. So, while we sometimes feel like throwing our eyeliner at the mirror in frustration, we persevere. Cat eye makeup elongates the eyes, helps us look more awake, and even draws attention away from tired, puffy eyes -- all of which makes mastering the tricky art of cat eye makeup a worthwhile endeavor.
To that end, we've enlisted the help of celebrity makeup artist Jake Bailey -- the man behind cat eye makeup queen Katy Perry's perfectly lined lids -- and M.A.C. Cosmetics Senior Artist John Stapleton to share their top tips for upping your cat eye game.

The cat-eye look is one that takes practice, practice, practice. Love the look but still can't do it quite right.

I love this look its not too much or too little color. It's perfect but does require a lot of time for me to try getting it right.

you need a sure hand for this, and practice makes perfect, but not every body is willing to spend all this time to practice on their eyes..

I like the tips on doing a great "cat eye." I'm going to experiment with demi false eyelashes before I use long ones.

Really great tips, some of which I would not have been able to figure out on my own. I'm going to skip the false eyelashes, though.

The cat eye is one of my favorite looks. I like how versatile it can be when using neutral/nude shadows of when combining deeper shadows. Love it.

I'd skip the false lashes for the daytime look.
