- Hi I'm Hilda Levierge, I'm a professional makeup artist, and today I'm going to teach you how to define your eyes with a cat eye. So cat eyes are a really great way to add drama and definition to your eye. They're really a classic style that throughout the decades has always been popular. From the 30's, 40's, 50's, even 60's with a thick cat eye to today's modern cat eye. So I'm going to teach you how to do that. So today I'm going to be using Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama gel eyeliner. OK so what you want to do is use a fine tipped brush and Maybelline actually provides you with this brush. Now we've already got a base of a nice neutral palette for the eyes, which is really what you want with a cat eye. I think that's the best to start out with. So I'm just going to start in the middle and do little strokes. The cat eyes need to be really defined and precise so it's really hard to start you know, right from the tear duct and go all the way to the outer edge in one straight line. So the easiest way is to really just pull the eye towards the temple and stretch out the lid and just start by applying little strokes towards the outer edge of the lashes. Traditionally, a cat eye will come out a quarter of an inch past your lash line. And for more drama, you can even do it a little bit further out. So you basically just want to keep building it in the smoothest line as possible. And really get it in as close to the lash line as you can. So it's going to start out pretty thin and then gradually get thicker as you get to the corner of the eye. So you gradually going to just tilt the brush up and pull it out a quarter of an inch. OK so now I'm going to start working just on the inside of the eye. So just look up and make a really thin line just right into the tear duct. And just join the other line that you did, just connect the two so that you connect the line in the middle. Close your eyes. And I don't think it's thick enough on the edge so I'm just going to just add a little bit more thickness. Pull that out. And then you should try and create a little tip to it gets finer at the end. OK open. OK that's really beautiful, there's just a little bit a couple mistakes that I've made there. So it's really easy to clean those up with a Q-tip and a little bit of eye makeup remover. Just go over the line and just wipe away any little mistakes that you've made. A cat eye is always going to be in style. It's just a classic look that you can do to really add drama to your eyes. So with our cat eye, I'm using a Maybelline the brush that comes with the Maybelline gel eyeliner. And what I really love about this brush is it's a little bit stiffer than a regular angle brush and it's a little bit thicker. So just close your eyes, Kendall. So when you're creating the thickness, you can actually use the brush flat and dip it into the gel liner and just brush it on like that. And then to create the little point, you just turn it to an angle and then it turns into an angle brush. And that creates a really nice defined point. So there you have it. That's a really easy way to define your eyes with a cat eye. Thanks for watching, I'm Hilda Levierge.
