tutorial for sharp cat eyes with a hot metallic finish. I hope you'll like it!




1. Apply a primer on your eye area. Today I started off with my brows done, which is quite unusual. They're filled in with MAC Eyeshadow - Mystery.



2. Apply a shimmery golden brown shadow on the lid. MAD Minerals - Evocative.





3. And a darker one on the outer half of the lid. Blend the edge between the shadows. MAD Minerals - Topaz Sun.





4. Now blend the shadows out upwards. We don't want any harsh edges!





5 Now pick a dark brown shadow that you apply only at the outer edge of the lid. This creates a dramatic cat eye effect! Lily Lolo - Moonlight.





6. Apply a highlighter underneath the brow and blend it down into the shadows on the lid. This makes the transition from the lid shadows even nicer. Because I love extra everything I applied a shimmery shadow here too, but a matte one works just as well if you feel like toning it down a bit. MAC Eyeshadow - Shroom.





7. Now pick up your darkest shadow again and smudge it into both the top- and bottom lashline.





8. Time for liner! Create a fat wing on the top lid with liquid liner, extend it sideways to give it even more of a cat feel. I lined my waterline with a black kohl to make the eyes more intense.





9. Highlight the inner corner of your eye, again with Shroom. Apply lots of mascara! Maybelline Define-a-Lash Volume.





10. So what should we match the eyes with?
Cheeks: Benefit - One Hot Minute for some bronze glow. No blush this time.
Lips: NYX Round Lipstick - Narcissus with NYX Round Lipgloss - Real Nude on top.
Nails: China Glaze - Short & Sassy
And we're done!
