The cat eyeliner has always been in fashion. The evergreen cat-eye has something about it that made Bollywood actresses flaunt it since ages. Winged eyeliner or cat eyeliner is always at the top of the fashion game. But it is necessary to understand the shape of your eyes before you proceed to prefect this incredibly popular style.

 

1.   Create a base or foundation

For the start, apply basic primer. Spread it evenly on your eyes. To prep your eyes, choose any neutral colour base eye shadow. Use your brush or finger to delicately apply the eye shadow of your choice.

2.   Apply eyeshadow

Choose a brown or beige colour eye shadow. Apply it in the crease. It helps contour your eye. This will create the foundation of the colour over your eyes.

3.   Flicks with liquid eyeliner

After you get your base done, pick up liquid eyeliner. You can choose a liquid eyeliner which comes as a pen or tiny bottle with brush. Even gel-eyeliner filled pot works well. As a beginner, it is better to go for a felt tip eyeliner.

4.   Widen the gap and fill the shape

Start your one line from one-third of the eye, with the gap getting broader towards the corner. Beginning with the lower part of the wing, use the outer corner of your bottom eyelid to start with your liner. Draw a line according to your preference for the length of the cat eyeliner. Broader the line, dramatic the look.
