Getting the kind of Hollywood and regal look is actually easy as the steps can be done even without the help of a professional makeup artist. To do the cat eye makeup look, here are some simple instructions you can follow. Within minutes, you can now enjoy a glamorous and the look of a star. When doing the cat eye makeup, you first need to make sure that the foundation is properly applied under the eyes and the shading and highlighting must define your cheekbones and define your jaw. Meanwhile, to define your eyes, use a light shadow in your eye lid with a pale creamy brown or soft gray shadow.
Blend your chosen color from your eyelids softly in an upward direction to your browbone, and this would serve as your base shadow. Your next step in your cat eye makeup is to work on the deeper side into the contour to be able to define the socket and blend the shadow just along the crease.
