Undereye Cat's Eye


These days my hair's just going wild, my eyebrows have grown out, and I'm bumming around in a sweatshirt (I took some vacation time). Maybe a new makeup look will cheer me up. Since I really don't like how a regular cat's eye eyeliner looks on my eye, I decided to try out an undereye cat's eye. I also tried out my new Maybelline gel/cream eyeshadow. I'm not sure if I prefer it over liquid eyeliner. It's hard to do Kohl eyes with a brush and it's not as smooth an application as liquid. You can get much thinner lines than a pencil though.

The thing about about only using black eyeliner is that it  always makes your eye look smaller. This drives me crazy. It reminds me of the kind of "dark" makeup you did in junior high because you didn't know any better...since I don't want to shame these kids, here's a picture of a celebrity to illustrate my point:


So maybe doing the bottom half will look better? Eh:

It's kind of interesting, I guess. It kind of looks animal-like. like a tiger or werewolf...emo werewolf.

 So the undereye eyeliner looks pretty cool when your eyes are closed.

If I ever LARP a teen werewolf, I've got my costume. Jokes aside, I think it works better for me than the regular cat's eye. I might try it again with the liquid eyeliner so it doesn't look so amateur. I also think I won't have it completely surround my bottom eyelid. maybe just leave it by the outer edges.

Do you do an undereye cat's eye? Tips/tricks?
