Timeless Classic: The Cat Eye


I am defiantly not a beauty expert or makeup artist, however there is defiantly something very charming and captivating about how a 'Cat Eye' can help shape and define one's eye. Whether it be with; gel, liquid, creme, or pencil eyeliner, or shadow, never the less it is very unique! 

The cat eyeliner look came about in the 1960's, other well know as 'the golden age' which was supported by ladies such as Twiggy and Audrey Hepburn.


Examples:

My No.1 person who supports the cat eye must be Alexa Chung! She has such a distinctive 60's look which is fresh and complete without looking too polished and put together, which is why she can pull it off so well.





Dita Von Teese is another classic example of a timeless cat eye, however her eye differs to Alexa's as hers is accentuated at the outer corner with a deeper flick, making it more of a 'pin up girl' look. She complete's hers with a ruby red lip for the more glamorous look.



Lana Del Rey supports the cat eye in a way which differs to both Alexa and Dita, as hers is very thick and does not highlight the flick as much. This does not make it worse by far, as it creates a fullness on the eyes and defines her eyes beautifully! Here she has paired it with a natural lip colour which makes her eyes stand out even more.


Without a doubt Audrey Hepburn is the No.1 woman who is famously known for her captivating eyes. Supported by a strong brow and natural lips, this makes the perfect vintage look. The eyelinder is thin in the inside of her eye and then tapers out to the outer corner, and with the stronger brow makes her eyes to stand out and it creates an innocent look.
