The Cat's Eye. MEOW!

Did you know that an Eyeliner can make even the smallest eye look bigger? The correct application is the key to make this look good on you.  so here ill show some tips on how to do this look. :)

To make this look all you need to have is an eyeliner , a gel liner and a liner brush. well you can also use a liquid liner, whichever you prefer. ill also be using false lashes to enhance the look.

Here are the steps : 

1. Start drawing a thin layer of Gel liner on the lids. 

2. Make the lids thicker and extend the eyeliner beyond the eyes both at the outer edge and the inner edge.

3. Do the WING!! When you get to the end of the lashes, go slightly upward. Remember, the more drama you want, the more distinct the angle should be.

4. Using a thicker brush, apply a little black shadow on top of the gel liner to prevent the make up from creasing.

 

5. Apply Black pencil liner on the lower lash line to define the eyes. 

6. Using the Liner brush connect the lower liner to the wing on the outer edge of the eyes. this gives an illusion that your eyes are bigger. 

7. Apply False lashes (optional). if you are not comfortable on wearing one, just use a mascara.

Make-up trend for 2011

1. Bold dark eyebrows

 Celebrities are sporting the thicker and fuller brows.This look would make you look younger than your actual age :)

Get that look

I used Benefit's Brows a-go-go and Mac brow gel in Beguile

 

1. Fill in your brows using the darker shade of brown. Apply this in upward strokes.

 2.Using this brow gel is rather tricky since you need to apply just the right amount of liquid on your brows. Apply this in different strokes until you've tamed your eyebrows.

*Mac's brow gel keeps your brows in place all day. It also makes your eyebrow appear fuller.

  

Here's my Dark, Full eyebrows :)

2. Bold Lips 
Bright Red, Red-orange and Fuchsia are the top picks for this year's trend for lipsticks. Wear it either glossy or matte.

Get that look!
