All About Cat's Eye Makeup

The hallmark of every woman is a well-groomed face with a neat and stylish make-up. It is on the face that others pay attention first of all. And thanks to the variety of modern cosmetics, you can create a great make up in 5 minutes. Today women are less and less likely to stop at the classic make-up, the current trend is the "Cat's Eye" make-up.

Every woman knows about the existence of many types and types of makeup. However, not everyone knows that "war paint" appeared much earlier than the word "make-up" itself. First of all, this concerns the "Cat's Eye" make up.

The technique of this makeup has its origins in ancient Egypt. Then the government was in the hands of the queens, and they had to appear before their people in all their glory. The ruling women understood that the effect of their image should have been overwhelming. This was especially true of makeup. And in order to attract the enthusiastic glances of those around them, the queens created a feline image. In simple terms, they emphasized a deep and expressive look, like a cat. A lot of time has passed since then. “Cat's” makeup has gone through a lot of transformation stages, but even with the use of modern cosmetics, the make up effect has not changed.

When it comes to eyeshadow, it's important to use darker shades to create a feline effect. Professional make-up artists can create deep makeup with a light palette of shadows, but it is almost impossible to make such a miracle at home.

To create a "Cat's eye" make-up it is important to check that the required tools and materials are available. Something can be replaced, but sometimes the analogs are worse than the originals, which subsequently negatively affects the make-up.

Now we propose to get acquainted with the necessary arsenal:

• cosmetic pencil and eyeliner;

• brushes for eyeliner and shading;

• concealer and shadows;

• foundation and powder;

• blush and mascara.

Every girl associates cat makeup with big green eyes of cats. But this is not entirely correct judgment. Makeup "Cat's Eye" means emphasizing the depth and mystery of the female gaze, which not everyone can draw. Besides, it is important to create a cosmetic masterpiece in stages, otherwise the makeup will turn out to be ugly, ridiculous and even repulsive.

Despite the fact that cat makeup has many variations of execution, all of its varieties have something in common, namely: technique... In any case, the eyes should visually narrow and lengthen, the look should turn out languid and at the same time impudent. You can achieve this effect with a cosmetic pencil, eyeliner and even simple shadows.

When choosing a variation of arrows, you need to pay attention to the type and color of the eyes. For example, if the eyelid is convex, the arrow should be narrow in thickness and elongated. It is important that it starts not from the tip of the eye, but from the middle of the eyelid. Otherwise, the woman will only emphasize the bulge of the eyelid, which does not correspond to the “Cat's Eye” makeup.

An important element of complementing feline makeup is lengthening mascara that adds volume to the lashes. This is extremely important if the woman has short eyelashes. Girls with long eyelashes should consider exclusively volumetric mascara.

As mentioned earlier, Cat Eye makeup is suitable for all women however, older and older women should be as careful as possible. It is not difficult to make an exciting and languid look, the main thing is not to overdo it and do not emphasize the masked flaws of the face. In fact, age-related make up has several creation nuances that require step-by-step beauty creation. Initially, you should select the eyes, draw the arrows. Next, shape the eyebrows. Lipstick should be neutral, but not lost against the general background. Ideally, you should add a pencil to your lips.

Now it is proposed to understand in more detail the most important nuances of creating such a fashionable and modern make-up. Understand how a feline make up should look like, and on what principles to choose one or another application technique.

From the information provided earlier, it became clear which arrows fit the eyes of different shapes. Now you need to figure out the appropriate color for the eyeliner or eyeshadow. Women with green and blue eyes are advised to use any shade that is not related to green and blue colors. However, you should not take risks with the variety of bright colors of the cosmetic palette. The rich exotic on the face can repel others. Use an eyeliner marker as a tool for drawing arrows. A pencil will work as an analogue, but it is important to apply it carefully.

Women with brown and gray eyes should use the darker shades of the cosmetic palette. These are black and brown colors. The size of the arrows in this case should be chosen based on the shape of the eyes. The lower eyelid should be shaded.

In addition to eye color, feline make up is divided by hair color. The shade of the curls should fully match the makeup being created, and vice versa. It is very difficult for blondes and blonde beauties to create the presented make-up. They must be extremely tidy. Pronounced black arrows and a dyed lower eyelid will only spoil the depth of the look. To prevent this from happening, it is proposed to study a couple of nuances of creating "Cat's Eye" makeup for blonde women:

• using black eyeliner, you should not let the lower eyelid down;

• arrows should start in the middle of the upper eyelid, and their tip should slightly protrude beyond the contour of the outer corner of the eye;

• arrows can have different thicknesses - the main thing is that they are even and clear.

Arrows of all shapes and sizes are ideal for brunettes.... However, if your hair color is close to black, you should exercise restraint when painting with black eyeliner. In this case, the lower eyelid should be painted only with shadows, followed by shading. Lipstick is chosen based on the upcoming event. For daytime make-up, neutral tones are preferred, and for evening make-up brighter and more saturated shades.

It is almost impossible for brown-haired women and owners of light brown hair to spoil the make up "Cat's Eye"... They can use different colors and shades of eyeshadow, eyeliner. In this case, affect not only the upper, but also the lower eyelid. The lipstick tone should match the natural lip color. And what is remarkable, only brown-haired and fair-haired girls can accentuate several details in cat's makeup at once.

Since cat's makeup requires the presence of arrows on the eyes, girls suffering from a frequent problem of hanging eyelids have to give up this cosmetic beauty. But if you spend a little more time, with some patience, you will be able to draw unique arrows that hide the flaws of the look and emphasize its merits. The main thing is to follow a few rules.

• When darkening, focus on the crease of the eyelid, thereby creating a smoky effect... First of all, the overhanging fold is processed, due to which it becomes invisible.

• Don't use liquid eyeliner... Bold lines are obtained from it. Ideally, use a pencil or shadows so that the drawn lines can be retouched.

• Arrows should not be bent, rise to the temples... They should be straight.

• Makeup artists also recommend giving up shadows and eyeliner with extra shine.... This variation of cosmetics creates a volume effect.

The peak of popularity of the "Cat's Eye" make-up came in the 50s of the twentieth century. Each woman spent hours conjuring in front of the mirror to become like Brigitte Bardot, and later, in the 90s, like Kate Moss. Today, feline make up is a classic of female beauty. It is applied not only for a festive look, but also for everyday life. As it becomes clear, we are talking about day and evening makeup. First, you should deal with the nuances of daytime make up and the technology of its creation.

First you need to prepare tools and materials. You will need a primer, foundation, powder, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, blush. Having collected an arsenal, you can start creating a daily make-up.

• First of all, you should cleanse your face. Initially wash your face, then moisturize your skin with a primer. Apply a thin layer of foundation on top. The last stage of preparing the skin of the face involves the application of powder.

• Light pearlescent shadows cover the lower and upper eyelids... The moving part of the eyelid is highlighted with a darker color of the shadows. A pinkish or golden shade of shadows is applied under the curl of the eyebrows. So the look is deep and expressive.

• Next, the most difficult thing is the arrows.... If it was decided to draw arrows with a pencil, it must first be softened. In daytime makeup, you should not draw an arrow along the lower eyelid; it is quite enough to create a line with a corner only on top.

• The next step is to create volume and length of eyelashes.... It is necessary to draw each individual hair. Mascara should be applied in a vertical technique so that the eyelashes rise, become longer, acquire a voluminous shape, and do not stick together into lumps.

• The next stage of creating a cat's makeup involves applying blush.... A light highlight of the apples of the cheeks should not interrupt the richness of the look.

• The final touch of makeup - lipstick... It is best to opt for a light-colored lip gloss.

Having dealt with the technology of creating daytime cat makeup, it is proposed to get acquainted with the instructions for performing the evening make up. For work, you will need to prepare a black pencil, eyeliner, shadows, false eyelashes. Having collected the necessary tools, you can get to work.

• First you need to curl your own eyelashes.

• Use a black pencil to paint over the inner corners of the eyes.

• A thin line is drawn along the upper eyelid with the same pencil.

• Now we need to create an arrow. To do this, it is important to look directly at yourself in the mirror, draw a direction mark and draw an arrow path.

• Next, the mucous membrane of the lower eyelids is painted over, after which the line is connected to the created corner of the arrow. Accidentally formed blemishes can be removed with a cotton swab dipped in micellar water.

• After creating the arrow shape, you should check the thickness of the eyeliner line on the upper eyelid. You may need to increase it slightly. It is important to check that the entire space between the eyelashes is painted over.

• The next step is lengthening and increasing the volume of the eyelashes. Girls with short and thin eyelashes will have to use adhesive artificial analogs.

• With the help of powder, the face is contoured.

• It remains to make up the lips with lipstick.

• Women with narrow eyes you should draw thick lines on the eyelids with eyeliner. Ladies with rounded eyes will be able to lengthen them due to the emerging arrows.

• Keep your eyes closed when drawing arrows.... This is the only way to achieve the playing look of the cat.

• The eyeliner should fit over the eyeshadow... In the reverse order, the likelihood of a make-up rework is high.

• The lower eyelid in the mucosal area should paint over with a cosmetic pencil.
