Kitten Eyes

An ode to the dramatic 60's style cat eyeliner, kitten eyes are popping up everywhere.  I am not a huge fan of tons of eye make up, as I like more natural looks, so I think this is the perfect way to wear eyeliner.

Here is a pic of Nicole Richie sporting the more dramatic version. I think it looks good, but it's not so much an every day look.  She is at the Oscars in this pic.  Obviously a dramatic look like this would be a bit over the top for most situations.

As you can see below, the played down version is so pretty! Still defines your eyes and gives them a little pop but looks much more natural!


To get this look, you need a liquid liner (or fine tipped liner pencil).  Paint it close to your lash line and flick it up at the corners.  Careful not to go back and forth too many times because it will get messed up.  You can use a Q tip and some eye make up remover to perfect the shape.  At the end it should look something like this:


Here are some other celebs sporting the look!
Alicia Keys


Probably the biggest connoisseur of winged eye liner, Kate Moss


Jessica Alba


My personal favorite, Gwen Stefani


Practice makes perfect!!
