Glam Smokey Cat Eye Makeup Tutorial
Hi everyone. Today, I’m going to show you how to create a smokey cat eye makeup look.
I used this look on an Instagram post recently and got so many comments asking me to share how to recreate this look. This gray, smokey, cat eye makeup is a really fun, bold and sexy look.
Tools and materials:
- Brow definer
- Waterproof concealer
- Foundation
- Face contour stick
- Mascara
- Lipstick
- Setting mist
- Blending brush
- Fan brush
- Makeup sponge
1. Color and define your eyebrows and upper lids
Start with brow definer and color in your eyebrows.
Once you’ve shaped and colored your eyebrows just right, brush them to make sure they’re not clumping at all.
Take a waterproof concealer. Paint it on carefully around your eyebrows and over your eyelids.
Then go over it with translucent powder.
Find an eyeshadow that is a couple of shades darker than your skin and concealer.
Brush it along the deepest part of your top eyelids and blend upward toward the eyebrows.
2. Use liquid liner to create the cat eye shape
Use black liquid eyeliner and create a line from the outer corner of your eyelid about ¼ inch in length, angled up toward the corner of your eyebrow.
From the end point of that line, draw a line in toward the center of the opposite corner of your eyelid.
Going back to the point where the lines meet, create another line going all the way to the inner corner of the eyelid.
Then you are going to color all of that in. Repeat this process on the other eye.
3. Apply liner to lower lids
Use the eyeliner to trace the bottom of the lower lid, starting thin from the inside of the eye, and getting thicker towards the outer corner.
Connect the lower lash line to the upper lash line and perfect the lines of the eyeliner so they are smooth and straight. Repeat this process on the other eye.
4. Blend and color the upper eyelids
Use a dark gray eyeshadow and a small brush and brush along the upper lid, blending the eyeliner.
Then use a blending brush to blend the colors at the top of the lid as well.
Use a sparkly light mint color to highlight the center of the lid and repeat this entire process on the other eye.
5. Clean, moisturize and conceal
Go back in with a clean makeup sponge and wipe up from under the eyelid, along the line of the eyeliner to make a nice clean line.
Do this to both eyes.
Moisturize the rest of your face.
Use a primer stick to prime your face.
Rub some face foundation on your forehead, nose, chin, and cheeks and blend it with a brush. Then use a sponge to blend it in more.
Use a waterproof concealer under your eyes and on your upper cheeks.
Add some to the pointed part of your chin and the center of your forehead, just above your nose, between your eyebrows.
Use a sponge to blend it in.
6. Contour and blend
Take a contour stick and color along the hollow of your cheek, just beneath the cheek bone.
Use it along the outer edges of your face and the sides of your nose.
Blend it in with a brush and sponge, blending outward.
Brush some translucent powder under your eyes along the upper cheek and sides of the nose.
Use color compact along the hollows of the cheeks.
Go back over the eyeliner and then use some smudge liner on and around the black eyeliner to blend.
Then go back in with your mint-colored eyeshadow and brush it lightly along the lower lash line.
7. Touch up and blend as needed
8. Apply mascara
In addition to the mascara, you can also apply false lashes for extra volume.
9. Apply blush and highlights
Go back in with a big brush and a contour shade and brush along the outer edge of your face, under your cheekbones and at the top of your forehead.
Take some pink blush and apply it to your cheekbones, blending it well.
Then apply a lighter skin tone color to a fan brush and highlight the cheekbones as well as the top of the eyelids, just underneath the eyebrows.
Apply to the length of the nose, between the nose and mouth, and on the chin.
10. Spray some setting mist
11. Finishing touches
Apply lipstick and lip highlighter and you’re done.
