Cat Eye Guide: Wing Perfection Made Simple for All Occasions https://makeuptutorials.com/cat-eye-guide-flawless/ https://makeuptutorials.com/cat-eye-guide-flawless/#respond Wed, 12 Feb 2025 06:30:23 +0000 https://makeuptutorials.com/?p=66237 Cat Eye Guide: Wing Perfection Made Simple for All Occasions

The cat eye is sharp, sophisticated, and transformative. It’s the one makeup trick that instantly changes your entire look with just a flick of the wrist. However, achieving symmetry can be tricky to pull off as smudges, and shaky hands get in the way. But here’s the thing: once you know the routine, the cat eye becomes your easiest confidence booster. Here’s how to achieve the perfect flick every single time.

Why the Cat Eye Never Goes Out of Style

The cat eye is the chameleon of makeup as it works flawlessly in any occasion, including casual brunches, glitzy galas, and everything in between. It elongates the eyes, makes lashes pop, and adds instant drama without overdoing it. Best of all, it suits every eye shape. Whether you have almond-shaped, hooded, or round eyes, the cat eye will always make you look on fleek.

How to Create the Perfect Cat Eye

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, so why not dress up yours with a little drama? The cat eye is the look: a little flirty, a little fierce, and entirely fabulous. Here’s how to slay this iconic eye makeup:

1. Start with the Basics

Prepare your lids with a small amount of primer. This creates a smooth, crease-free surface that keeps your liner in place all day. Additionally, a light sweep of neutral eyeshadow can absorb excess oil and prevent smudges.

2. Draw the Baseline

For the initial line, trace close to your upper lashes then work from the inner corner outward. Using short controlled strokes gives you more precision, especially if your hands aren’t the steadiest. Moreover, starting with a thin line leaves room for adjustments.

3. Map Out the Wing

Visualize a line extending from your lower lash line to your brow’s tail. To make it easier, place a small dot where you want the wing to end. Not only does this help with symmetry, but also takes the stress out of guessing the perfect angle.

4. Connect the Wing to the Lash Line

Draw a diagonal line from the dot back toward the outer corner of your eye. Then, connect the top of the line to the middle of your lash line to form a neat triangle. Fill in the triangle with steady strokes without any gaps.

5. Clean and Perfect

Finally, refine the edges to make your wings razor-sharp. Use a cotton swab dipped in micellar water for any touch-ups and focus on symmetry. Additionally, a fine concealer brush can carve out crisp edges and give your look a professional finish.

Customizing Your Cat Eye

The cat eye is completely customizable to fit your mood or occasion. If you’re feeling bold, go for a thicker, longer wing to make a statement. If you want a more refined look, a delicate, thinner flick does the job effortlessly. And don’t be afraid to explore new colors—deep emerald, navy, or even a pop of metallic can turn your cat eye from classic to trendy in seconds.

Troubleshooting Like a Pro

Let’s face it: no one’s perfect, and eyeliner mistakes happen to the best of us. Uneven wings are practically a rite of passage. When that happens, take a step back, breathe, and check for symmetry. If one side is thicker or higher, use a Q-tip dipped in makeup remover to gently even things out. Need a little more precision? Try a concealer brush to sharpen the edges without smudging the rest of your work.

For shaky hands, don’t sweat it—resting your elbow on a flat surface will give you much more control. These small tweaks can take you from “close enough” to “absolutely flawless.”

Why Practice Makes Perfect

No one achieves cat-eye perfection on their first try—seriously, no one. The good news is that every attempt gets you closer to nailing it. Each flick teaches you more about what works for your eye shape and style. That newfound confidence will eventually replace the frustration, and before you know it, you’ll be winging it like a pro.

What’s more, the process itself can be oddly satisfying. Experimenting with different techniques, tools, and looks keeps the journey exciting. Even if you mess up, it’s all part of the fun. After all, makeup is about expression, not perfection, so allow yourself to enjoy the ride.

Dare to Wing It

Mastering the cat eye is less about perfection and more about expression. Don’t let a shaky line or mismatched wings hold you back—they’re proof you dared to try. So, grab that liner, experiment boldly, and most importantly, have fun. Now, go out there and wing it!

FAQs

  1. What’s the best eyeliner for beginners?
    Try a felt-tip pen for control and precision.
  2. Can I use tape to guide my wing?
    Yes! It’s a game-changer for beginners.
  3. How do I keep it from smudging?
    Use a primer and waterproof liner.
  4. Can I create a cat eye with eyeshadow?
    Absolutely. Use an angled brush for sharpness.
  5. How do I fix uneven wings?
    Use a cotton swab to tweak and sharpen edges.

14. The Mature Look

There’s no harm looking a bit older on prom night. After all, it’s one of the rarest nights in your life that you get to dress up and get all dolled up with your friends. To do this mature look, go heavy on the eyeliner and make sure to put on a bright red lipstick for extra appeal.

17. Rock the Black Dress Look

We know that black dresses are so popular in prom. It’s elegant and sophisticated. So if you’re wearing a black dress, make sure to match it with bright red lipstick, just like what Taylor Swift did here. Bright red lips plus a black dress is a deadly combination.

18. Simple for Silver Look

A lot of girls have the belief that if they wore a silver dress, they immediately have to match it up with silver eyes too. Well, that’s not really true. Maryam Maquillage’s tutorial on this Chrissy Teigen inspired look is great for silver dresses. Keep the whole face simple and push the boundaries with a dark red berry lipstick.

21. Almost Bare Look

At first glance, it seems like Kylie Jenner isn’t wearing any makeup at all except for her beautiful berry lips. While the lips is the focal point of this almost bare look, do watch out for the cat eyes, which is just a subtle detail in pulling off this oh-so natural look.

22.Rose Petals

We’re not particularly sure why this is called rose petals, but we could care less because it looks so beautiful. The mixture of gold, bronze and violet is very unique for a prom look. So if you want to be different, try this look out.

23. Metallic Blue Eyes

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt05Pp-An4v/ hidecaption=true width=625]

Blue eyeshadow makes blue eyes pop. This metallic blue eyeshadow will look great in light to dark blue dresses, which is also a favorite in prom night. Complete the metallic look with rose lips to make the look a bit more subdued.

MUA Tips: How to do Winged Eyeliner Makeup https://makeuptutorials.com/winged-eyeliner-makeup/ https://makeuptutorials.com/winged-eyeliner-makeup/#respond Mon, 26 Aug 2024 17:17:02 +0000 https://makeuptutorials.com/?p=30908 There’s something about winged eyeliner that makes us dreamily think back to the ’60s when big-haired bombshells like Anita Ekberg, Anna Karina and Brigitte Bardot ruled the scene. If you’re jonesin’ for a bit of their glamour, check out this tutorial on how to achieve the perfect winged eyeliner. 

MUA Tips: How to do Winged Eyeliner Makeup

There’s nothing more classic than a sleek, winged eyeliner. Commonly referred to as the “cat eye,” winged eyeliner was a major trend in the ’60s and has, since then, become a makeup look staple.

But, as we all know, perfecting winged eyeliner can be as difficult as being asked to paint Starry Night from scratch. Especially if you’re a perfectionist who refuses to leave her/his house if your flick falls at a 46, instead of 45, degree angle.

For those who’ve resorted to stencils and tape, this tutorial is here to teach you how to pull off a cat eye just like a celebrity makeup artist would. And when we say Celebrity Makeup Artist, you know we’re talking about the one and only Johny Saade.

The tutorial below will teach you how to get a bombshell winged eyeliner, not one that makes you look like you’re in an Amy Winehouse tribute band.

Watch Johny make winged eyeliner look like a piece of cake, then learn how to DIY.

Now for the step-by-step guide to creating the perfect wing. 

Before doing anything else, determine your eye shape first. This will help you create a wing that’s suitable for your face and eye shape.

Choose a product you feel comfortable working with. It can be a gel or liquid eyeliner, or a thin bent liner brush. The eyeliner we like to create our wings with is Benefit Cosmetics – They’re Real Push-Up Liner. It’s angled felt tip applicator makes it super simple to create the perfect flick.

3 Steps to a Perfect Wing

1. Start by drawing your wing on the outer part of your eyes. Draw a diagonal line from the outer corner upwards to the end of your brow. Do this with light, quick strokes, making sure to decrease the amount of pressure on your eyeliner in order to create a thinner line the higher you go up. My flicks tend to stop at my crease, but do what feels right and works for you.

2. From the diagonal line, drag your eyeliner towards your lashline, creating a small triangle that you’ll then fill in. This is the “winged” portion of the look.

3, After you’ve established your wing, draw a thin line from where it starts to the inner corner of your eye, making sure the line connects evenly with the flick.



Practice Makes Perfect

Nailing the perfect wing takes patience and practice, lots and lots of practice. There will be days where you’ll definitely have to adjust one eye to be symmetrical with the other and vice versa. Remember that even professionals mess up, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t get it right the first time around! Don’t quit and as Journey once said, don’t stop believing!

Consider yourself a cat eye expert!

Rim the eyes with black eyeliner to give your eyes some definition. A winged eyeliner, for example, will give drama to this already luxurious look.

4. Orange Eyeshadow

This summer look is simple yet very classy. You would think orange eyeshadow would not look good on dark foundation but you can opt for a more subtle tannish orange. Use shimmers and don’t forget to use a damp brush when applying. Pair the orange eyeshadow with brown shades, then finish with your go-to black eyeliner and mascara for a showstopping look.

5. Plum & Caramel Eyeshadow

Mixing these eyeshadow shades to create this look is a colorful alternative to smokey eyes. This plum and caramel eye makeup colors are fab, we urge you to try this look at a party! Try matte ombre lips to top the look off.

6. Neutral Eyeshadow

Of course, what’s a makeup list without the neutral eyeshadow look you can incorporate into your everyday look? This neutral eyeshadow makeup is inspired by Kylie Jenner. The brows are well-defined by brow makeup and the brow bone is highlighted to give the eyes a lift.

7. Gold Eyeshadow

Gold brings about a very glamorous feel. It highlights the natural beauty of every black women’s eyes. Make sure to blend the shimmers well so it doesn’t appear clumpy on your lids and the outer corner of your eyes.

8. Black Eyeshadow

You might get a little skeptical using black eyeshadow but fear not. Check out how well Jennifer Hudson uses black to create an unstoppable smokey eye look. For definition, use a darker shade of black eyeliner to rim your eyes and to make them pop out from the eyeshadow color. Finish the look with two to three coats of black mascara.

Tip: When using eyeshadow, earth tones, pinks, and neutral lip colors work. These lip colors look good with just about whatever color you choose for your eyeshadow. If you want to focus on your lips, go with subtle colors on your eyes and vice versa.

This moved Ford to create a video about feeling good about yourself and how social media can affect ones view of what beauty is…

Over the past few months, I’ve received thousands of messages from people all over the world who suffer or have suffered from acne, an insecurity or self confidence issues.

No products found.

I wanted to create a film that showed how social media can set unrealistic expectations on both women and men. One challenge many face today, is that as a society, we’re so used to seeing false images of perfection, and comparing ourselves to unrealistic beauty standards that It can be hard to remember the most important thing – You ARE beautiful.

You are beautiful – no matter how flawed you feel, no matter how upset you may about the way you look or how hard you find it to make friends, or be confident. Believe in yourself, and never let anyone tell you’re not beautiful – not even yourself.
