Coloured cat eye

Who says a cat eye has to be black? If you like a pop of colour on your face, it’s time to try the coloured cat eye now. You can use bright blues, greens or even red liners to create this look but while you add colour to your eyes, make sure the rest of your face is bare and minimal. This means blue eyes and nude lips. Get it?

Metallic cat eye

It’s not a party look till your eyes have a drama of metal on them. So if you’re looking for a glitzy eye makeup look, make way for metallic cat eyes. Use a shiny eyeliner to create a flick on your upper lash line. Depending on your choice, you can either make a thick or thin one. If you like OTT looks, this is just what your eye makeup needs.

Triple winged cat eye

Think the regular cat eye is too basic for you? Introduce yourself to the triple cat eye where you create the regular cat eye and then add two strokes on the lower lash line and below that to create three strokes. Perfect for a night look, this cat eye can be achieved with either a plain black liner or if you want to take it a notch higher, you can even try it with two different shades.

Upside down cat eye

Upside down cat eye

In the makeup world, anything is possible. So when we heard that upside down cat eyeliner was a thing, we were rather curious. While you create the regular cat eye on the upper lashline, this one is applied on the lower lashline and the stroke goes outwards. Think of it as kajal in addition to liner.
