Step 2
Line your lids with black liquid or gel liner (try Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink, $19), starting at the inner corner of your eyes and extending the line out almost to the tail of your brows. Bring that line back down to the outer corners of your eyes, creating a thin, triangle shape. Next, go back to the inner corners and line your bottom lash lines until the line connects to the triangle shape at your outer corners.

Step 4
Pair the fierce cat-eye makeup with red lips. Start by lining lips with red lip pencil. Then blend the liner into the rest of your lips using a lip brush. Coat lips with a matching lipstick and then finish off with a coat of super high-shine red gloss (try MAC Tinted Lipglass in Russian Red, $14).

Step 5
The sexy kitten isn't complete without whiskers and a nose. Use the black gel liner you used on your eyes to draw three thin lines on either side of your nose. Finish by creating a soft triangle shape at the tip of your nose.

Up the ante this year by following these step-by-step makeup instructions courtesy of Gregory Arlt, director of makeup artistry for MAC Cosmetics. Pair this dramatic cat-eye makeup with tight black clothes, a tail and ears, and you'll look purr-fect!
