OURbeauty: The Perfect Cat-Eye for Small Eyes
Kitten-Eyes
I am loving this Sonia Kashuk Gel Liner in Ebony. For $8.99 at Target, you really can't lose. I'm sure it's not the best gel liner on the market. However, I wasn't very experienced with gel liners and wanted a cheap alternative to the more famous and more expensive Stila Smudge Pot. This way I felt free to play, experiment and use as much of the product as I wanted. Small eyes–that are slightly hooded–are tough to wing so you will need to try, try and try again.
I use my MAC 208 Angle Brush to apply the perfect cat-eye. I chose this smaller angled brush (It's actually a brow brush) to create a smaller wing. A smaller wing is more proportionate to smaller eyes and also makes this cat-eye look subtle and everyday.
How To:
- After putting some product on the brush, hold it vertical against the outer corner of your eye.
- Press the tip gently into the your lid following the angle of your lower lash line.
- Gently line your upper lid connecting it to the wing.
- Voila, this is the perfect angled wing for your perfectly subtle kitten-eye.
What's your secret (or not so secret) beauty tip?
