This look is purely for the nights so don't whip out that black
eye shadow and eyeliner in the mornings or afternoons and expect
to get away with these colours when the sun is up.
I
find that many women do not concentrate enough on makeup for the
eyes for the nights. It is important to note that there is less
light when the sun goes down, therefore make up for the eyes, cheeks
and lips have to go a shade or shades darker. If you want to create
a vampy look, you have got learn not to be hesitant with your black
eyeliner and eye shadow.
This
look is meant to dramatize the face. It's not subtle so don't go
wearing that floral dress with cat's eye makeup. Consequently the
still trendy animal printed clothes would be perfect for this look.
Unlike
the smoky dark eyes effect, cat's eyes require a less blending,
some artistic skills and a steady hand. While the smoky
eyes matches with nude almost bare lipstick, the cat's eyes go with
bright red retro lips.
 Step
1
What
you don't want when using dark colours on eyes is eye bags. Eye
bags, with dark coloured eyes make you look like you've just been
punched. So be meticulous and apply some concealer under the eyes
before any type of dark coloured eye make up. Use your finger and
lightly blend the concealer. Apply some loose powder over the concealer
it if you wish.
Step 2
 Using
your finger, gently lift your upper eyelids and apply black eyeliner
to the inner rims of the eye. Make sure the liner touches the roots
of your eyelashes.
Step
3
Repeat
Step 2 and line your lower lids. Make sure that the black eyeliner
joins and outlines the whole eye, not leaving any rims unlined.
 Step
4
To
make applying the eye shadow easier and to make the look even more
intense, line the outer lids as well. This will also help to blend
in with the black eye shadow.
 Step
5
Using
an eye shadow sponged applicator, slowly apply black eye shadow
around the entire eye. As black is a difficult colour to remove
if you've made a mistake, apply a little at a time, gradually building
up to a jet black.
Step
6
 Using
the sharpest tip of your applicator (if yours is a blunt one, try
using a cotton bud. Cotton buds give you just a little bit more
control), make a little wing that tilts upwards at the outer corner
of your eye, and a wing that tilts downwards at the inner corners.
 Step
7
Using
another sponged applicator, apply a dab of gold shimmer eye shadow
to the inner corners of the eyes. Apply it just on top of the downward
tilted wing and blend inwards properly.
Step
8
 Apply
gold shimmer also to your brow bone to highlight the eyes and give
it a little bit of depth. Curl your eyelashes and apply a thick
coat of mascara if you wish.
Now
sharpen those claws and let the world hear you roar!
