The makeup at the Fall/Winter Roberto Cavalli show was a sultry and unkempt alternative to a glammed up smoky eye. Here's how to try it:
1. Use a black metallic eyeliner, like Maybelline Master Smoky Longwearing Shadow-Pencil, $6.99, to create a line at your top and bottom lash lines.
2. Using a smudge brush, swipe your top liner up and out, creating a smoky finish on the outer corners of your eyes. Repeat with the liner on your lower lash line, smudging it out and away from your eye.
3. Finish by lining your waterline with a waterproof black eyeliner.
Once upon a time, Cara D. couldn't get a date. Her man troubles, she says, were probably a result of bad eyeliner choices. If eyeliner is indeed the way to a man's heart, this look is worth trying, especially considering her list of recent suitors. See how to get it here:
1. Using a liquid eyeliner like Le Metier de Beaute Precision Liquid Eyeliner, $42, sweep a line starting at the center of your crease.
2. Follow the shape of your eyebrows as you extend your line to your temples as you go.
Australian actress Bella Heathcote showed up to the Met Ball with an eye makeup look that trumps the typical cat eye. By winging another tail ever so beautifully into the inner corners of the eye, the classic look becomes even more fiercely feline. Magical? We think so too. Here's how you can steal the look:
1. Use a thin, liquid eyeliner brush, like the one from Nars Liquid Eyeliner, $27, to create a thick line starting at the inner corner of your eye. Extend your cat eye line out and upward, leaving the very end sharp.
2. Trace over the line as necessary to saturate the dark color and smooth out the line.
3. Finish by tracing a thin line from the inner corner of your eye down toward the bridge of your nose.
This backstage look from the NYFW Libertine show is all about the '60s chic look. Here's how to make like a Factory girl and channel your inner Edie Sedgwick:
1. Use an eyeliner paint pot, like Laura Mercier Crème Eyeliner, $22, to draw a line from the inner corner of your eye, over your crease and out to the end of your brow bone.
2. From the outer corner of your eye, extend a line up to connect with your top line, forming a triangle. Then use a smudge brush to fill in the section on your top eyelid to the wing.
3. Apply a thick line onto your lower lash line (not your waterline). Smudge the line up to connect with the wing to finish.
The makeup at the Fall/Winter Michael Kors show combined subtle drama with class for an edgy, sophisticated look. Here's how to get it:
1. Use a black pencil eyeliner like MAC Eye Kohl, $16, to draw a thin line over your top and bottom lash lines. From the center of your eye gradually thicken the line as you extend it outward.
2. Using a smudge brush, sweep liner onto your hand or a napkin to soften the color, then use it to create a cat eye from the outer crease of your eye.
3. Fill in cat eye with a smudge brush to finish.
