Using a smaller brush, apply the color exactly on the lids, each time taking the color lightly under the eyes as well. This will give the eye a balance and create a more dramatic effect. This is the first step.

Step 2:  It is required to be soft handed when applying the crease color and take one’s own time to do it. Here again a dark color like that of a charcoal is useful. This has to be applied to the outside edges of the eyes to create a smoky crease.

The color has to be blended in an upward motion to crease that elongated cat eye effect.  We’re getting closer now!

Step 3:  The third step on cat eye journey is to use dark and sultry eyeliner or a black gel liner. This applies more easily, and looks much smoother than the liquid or pencil variety.  Using a small angle brush, the product is to be deposited on the top of the eyelids as close to the lash line as practicable and the liner is to be glided across the top lid, starting at a thinner stroke at the inside of the eye, while increasingly thickening the line and angling it upwards towards the eyebrow, as it slides towards the outer end of the eyes.  This will help create the cat eyes effect. Then a black pencil liner is applied on the inside of the eye to give that smoky look.

Step 4:  Ok, we are almost there; just one more step! Finish your look with some lengthening and thickening mascara and you will be ready to go! This is the final ultimate step on how to get cat eyes. Go ahead and flaunt your sexy eyes to the world!
