Cat Eye Makeup Tutorial – Step-by-Step Guide to the Perfect Wing
The cat eye is a timeless eyeliner look that adds drama, lift, and allure to any makeup routine. Whether you're a beginner or perfecting your technique, follow these simple steps to achieve flawless feline flicks with your favorite pencil, gel, or liquid eyeliner.
What You’ll Need:
- Mirror with good lighting
- Primer (optional, for long wear)
- Eyeliner (liquid, pencil, or gel with brush)
- Cotton swabs or makeup remover for cleanup
- Concealer (optional for sharpening the edge)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prep Your Eyelids: Start with clean, dry lids. Apply primer or a bit of concealer to help the liner stay put all day.
- Draw the Guide Line: Using your lower lash line as a guide, draw a small diagonal line extending outward and upward from the outer corner of your eye. This will be the base of your wing.
- Connect the Tip: From the end of your wing, draw a line back toward your upper lash line, creating a small triangle.
- Fill in the Wing: Fill in the triangle you just created. Then, draw a line along your upper lash line, starting from the inner corner and connecting to the wing.
- Refine and Perfect: Use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to clean up any uneven edges. For a sharper look, outline the wing with a bit of concealer.
Tips for Success:
- Start thin and build gradually—especially if you're new to winged liner.
- Angle matters: A slight upward flick lifts the eye; a straighter wing can make eyes look wider.
- Use tape or a stencil if you need a steady guide for symmetry.
- Choose a product that suits your comfort: pencils are forgiving, gels are bold, and liquids offer precision.
Now you’re ready to rock the iconic cat eye! Pair it with mascara or false lashes for a full glam effect.
