This is a makeup style that is likened to a CHANEL bag – never out of style. Jennie (BLACKPINK), Karina (aespa), and Han So Hee are stars who often promote this eye style.
The key to cat eye makeup is the eyeliner technique with sharp, neat lines. The eyeliner tail is often extended and pointed up, while clearly outlining the head of the eye. You should use a black eyeliner with sharp lines to create a seductive effect, making the eyes deeper and more attractive.
To create the perfect cat-eye effect, choose a grey-brown eyeshadow to minimize puffiness. The placement of the eyeshadow is extremely important, to avoid creating an overly round eye shape that will reduce the sharpness.
