Prep eyelids with primer for flawless cat eyes
First things first, prep your eyelids! Just like painting a wall, a smooth canvas is key. Gently cleanse your eyelids to remove any oil or leftover makeup. Then, apply a thin layer of eyeshadow primer. This will create a base for your liner, preventing it from smudging or fading throughout the day.
The eyeshadow primer also helps in creating the right base for the eyeliner for the wings and overall finish. With a primed eyelid, you're well on your way to flawless cat eyes that last all day. Don't skip this step, trust us, it makes a world of difference and saves you a lot of effort.
The whole idea of priming is to provide a good base.
Choose the right eyeliner based on your style and skill level
Next up, choose the right eyeliner for you. Gel liners are perfect for creating bold, dramatic wings, while liquid liners are great for precision and sharp lines. Pencil liners are more forgiving and good for beginners, especially when you're learning. Felt-tip liners are great too.
Experiment with different types of eyeliners and find the one you are really cool with. The one which works best for your skill level and the kind of cat eye you want to create. Remember, practice makes perfect, so don’t be afraid to try different options until you find your match.
Also its important to research on the ingredients so that your eyes remain safe.
Flattering cat eye: Follow the right angle for lifted, youthful eyes
Now, let's talk about the angle. This is super crucial for a flattering cat eye. Imagine a line extending upwards from your lower lash line towards the end of your eyebrow. That's the angle you want to follow for your wing.
This angle helps lift your eyes and create a more awake, youthful appearance. Don’t go too high or too low! Keep the angle in moderation. Use a mirror and look straight ahead to ensure your wings are even. If you have hooded eyelids, you will need to adjust the angle to your comfort level.
Experiment a little to find the exact right angle.
Technique for perfect winged eyeliner: start thin, build thickness gradually with multiple strokes
Alright, now we get to the technique! The trick is to start thin and gradually build up the thickness. Start by drawing a thin line from the inner corner of your eye, close to your lash line, towards the outer corner.
Then, extend this line outwards and upwards, following the angle we talked about earlier. Once you have the basic shape of your wing, you can fill it in and thicken the line as needed. Remember, patience is key! Don’t try to do everything in one go. Multiple strokes will ensure perfect finishing.
With gradual strokes, your hands get steady at drawing a perfect line.
Getting symmetrical wings is often the biggest challenge. Here's a simple trick that the pros use
Use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to clean up any mistakes and even out the lines. You can also use a piece of tape as a guide to create a sharp, clean line.
Place the tape at the desired angle from the outer corner of your eye towards the end of your eyebrow, then apply your eyeliner along the edge of the tape. Remove the tape carefully and voila! Perfect symmetry guaranteed. But be careful with your eyes. Always use products that are good.
