Cat eyes can be intimidating to attempt the first few times. Try them when you have plenty time to play around, and somewhere with good lighting to work. I enlisted the help of make-up artist Sam Ellenberger to explain how to get this look:

great tips. I’ve tried endlessly to perfect the cat eye but can never get it right.

Love cat’s eye but let the pros do it as the combo of very oily lids and shaky hands result in splotches.

Great tutorial. Definitely have to give it a try. I think this look can also be beautifully recreated using different shades of blue, purple, green, etc.
