How To Create Beautiful Smoky Cat Eyes

In order to get the beautiful smoky cat eyes, you do not need to be a fully armoured beautician. This sexy look can be as subtle or dramatic as you wish. The tips below will create a more powerful look in black, but to achieve a more understated look simply select light grey, burgundy or dark khakis instead. Remember, a lot depends on your skin tone and hair color, so why not try a few different tones to see which suits you best?

Your tools for powerfully sexy eye makeup:

Eye shadow brush with thin bristles are best to maintain control.
Black eyeliner - The pencil and ensure that it is sharp.
Black eyeliner - The brush, thinner the liquid eyeliner, is the better.
Dark eye shadow. Irridescent rather than flat matt (too hard), or shiny (too messy).
Highlight shimmer for under the eyebrow. Avoid garish looking 'high glitter'.
Black mascara. Obviously choose a quality brand to avoid clumping and 'spider eyes'.
A good eyebrow pencil. Try to select the most natural shade for you as possible.
Eyelash curlers.
Step-by-step instructions for smoky cat eyes:

Here we have laid down the steps to get those smoky cat eyes. Apply your foundation, under eye concealer and powder. Using your black eyeliner pencil, start from the front corner of your eyelid. Draw a soft smudge line to the end of your lash line. Use your eyeshadow brush to apply the dark eye shadow over the top of the smudged line for a soft smoky look. Ensure that the edges are neatly blended. Then take the brush eyeliner and apply as close to your lashes as you can on the top lid only. Make the line as thick and pronounced as you wish, but make sure that the line is thickest at the outer corner, and thinner as you go inward. Apply another smoky coat of eye shadow with the brush to blend the harsh edges. Subtly blend your darker eye shadow up from your lashes to your eye crease. Then apply a shimmery highlight in white or cream under the outside corner of your eyebrow. Use your eyebrow pencil to make your eyebrow curve more pronounced. Curl your eyelashes, then apply thin coats of mascara, building the layers up gradually to avoid clumping.
